Similar Stories to Thailand Awaits Verdict That Could Send Former Pm To Prison on Bing News

BANGKOK (AP) — Friends and foes alike of former Prime Minister, Yingluck Shinawatra, are anxiously awaiting a verdict Friday by the Thailand's Supreme Court on charges that she was criminally negligent in implementing a rice subsidy program that is estimated to have cost the government as much as $17 billion and could now cost her 10 years in prison. Supporters are expected to appear outside the courthouse to show support for Yingluck, but Thai authorities have threatened legal action against anyone planning to help transport her supporters to the scene. The verdict is generally seen as a political judgment as much as a criminal one.
