His sympathy for David Fletcher tells me all I need to know about him.
He is very lucky.

Didn’t take long being out of country for his remorseful tone to be undone. Sounds like that letter he sent to HE was all talk to get out early.CEOCambodiaNews wrote:

I didn't see or hear anything '' Quote ,, for his remorseful tone to be undone.'' Did I miss something ?
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Looks like he made a quick recovery from all those illnesses he was suffering from in the terrible jail. He has to come back to bust Fletch out.

James Ricketson case: 'Dad saved my life so I helped save him from jail'
04 October 2018 Australia
Australian filmmaker James Ricketson was imprisoned in Cambodia in 2016, accused of spying after flying a drone over an opposition rally. His adopted daughter campaigned tirelessly for his release from a cramped, unsanitary prison - until his pardon last month.
As James Ricketson, 69, and his adopted daughter Roxanne Holmes, 52, talk to me, their battle scars are showing.
On the arm of Mr Ricketson's shirt sleeve is thick, congealed blood, still seeping through from a fight he had with Cambodian prison guards.
It happened on his final day before his sudden release five days prior to our conversation: "I lost a lot of skin," he says. "But these guards were just doing their job in an evil system. They're not bad guys."
Ms Holmes's arm, meanwhile, shows the indented train track scars of years of self-harm - which she discusses openly - following a childhood of intense sexual, physical and emotional abuse.
But today in Sydney, both father and daughter are smiling. They're enjoying the triumph of Ms Holmes's dogged campaign to release her Australian dad from prison.
This is his first media interview since returning home.

Fighting for a father's freedom
The decision to fly a drone over an anti-government rally landed James Ricketson in a Cambodian prison for 15 months. This is the inside story of the Australian filmmaker's ordeal and the fallout for his family.

How far would you go to help a family member who was locked up in a third-world prison overseas?
Jesse Ricketson, 36, was confronted with this reality last year, when his father, filmmaker James Ricketson, was jailed in Cambodia, accused of spying.
It was a nightmare that tested relationships between many members of the extended Ricketson family, but none more acutely than the relationship between father and son.
