	Noppawan was indicted in 2009 and charged under article 112 of the Penal Code and the law on computer crime for a post that appeared on the webboard on October 15, 2008.</p>
<div>
	The primary court dismissed the accusation and freed her on the grounds that the IP address on the webboard was not enough to prove her guilty.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The appeal court, however, reversed the primary verdict, sentencing her to five-years in prison on the grounds that an IP address could be faked and that the comment was posted using an account name and password believed to belong to her.</div>
<div>
	The Supreme Court said that the IP address, account name and password failed to prove that it was Noppawan who posted the defamatory comments on the webboard.</div>
<div>
	The court delivered the verdict in absentia as Noppawan did not show up at the court yesterday.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	This is the second case the Supreme Court acquitted a lese majeste suspect.</div>

Noppawan acquitted

The Supreme Court on Tuesday acquitted Noppawan Tangudomsuk on lese majeste charges, giving her the benefit of the doubt as there was no clear evidence that she had insulted the monarchy on the Prachatai webboard in 2008.
