Bit difficult to present thoughts to a court unless there is evidence, i.e. written or evidence of conversations.

"Are you thinking what we're thinking"...........unless there is communication in some way you'll never know although some egg heads might say that technology does exist to know what someone is thinking, you can give away what your thinking in so many ways but how many stand up to court scrutiny is the difficult question.

The ways things are going though I s'pose with the state having to provide less evidence or in some cases no evidence to your guilt and the burden of proof shifts to the accused having to prove their innocence then maybe "thought" crime as I see it or think of it is going to become more common.

I'm thinking its time for a cup of tea............................and possibly a quiet lie down in a darkened room.............................

I think the mentioned case highlights exactly that problem.
