A Thai judge, Kanakorn Bianchana, shot himself in a crowded courtroom in Yala, southern Thailand, after a group of murder suspects were acquitted and criticized by the judicial system in a live broadcast on Facebook. After declaring their innocence, he pulled a pistol and fired at his chest. "You need clear and credible evidence to punish someone," he said in his appeal. If you're not sure, don't punish them. ''
"The judge is undergoing medical treatment, his life is not in danger, and he is experiencing personal psychological pressure," said Justice Ministry spokesman Suryan Hongfillai.
