BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's military-appointed legislature found ousted former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra guilty of negligence on Friday, according to a Reuters tally of votes cast at a televised impeachment hearing. A verdict carries with it a five-year ban from politics for Yingluck, who was removed from office for abuse of power days before a military coup toppled the remnants of her government in May. The decision required three-fifths of the vote, or 132 of the 220 members of Thailand's National Legislative Assembly.
