Ex-attorney general appeal for fairness for prosecutors handling Boss’s case

By Thai PBS

 

 

BANGKOK: -- Former attorney-general Atthapol Yaisawang has appealed to critics to not blame public prosecutors for allegedly dragging their feet in taking legal action against Red Bull heir, resulting to three cases being dropped due to expiration of their statute of limitations.

 

He defended that the Red Bull Heir, Vorayudh Yoovidhya, had appealed for justice and, therefore, the public prosecutors had to consider his appeals to ensure justice.

 

He cited Boss’s appeal to the National Legislative Assembly’s panel for legal, judicial process and police affairs complaining of incomplete investigation by the public prosecutors, making it impossible for the prosecutors to ignore.

No sir, No one is blaming the prosecutors. We are blaming the entire judicial system, only.

Yes, everyone deserves justice, but not when you're hiding in another country

biding your time and behind a mountain of cash and waiting for the

for statue of limitation to pass while making a mockery of the justice system....

The job of prosecutors is not to ensure fairness to anybody. It is to do their jobs in line with rules and procedures on the statute books.

 

They have failed because they have been pressured by high flying lawyers to grant concessions to an uber wealthy client whose reasons for not meeting with prosecutors are as wishy washy / dubious as hell, and more to the point would never have been granted to a person with lesser access to legal help / funds.

 

Also it took 5 years and an embarrassing press exposé of the perpetrator's extravagance while on the lam to even get an arrest warrant requested.

 

All in all, any flak your precious prosecutor's office is taking is FULLY justified. Man up.and accept the rightful criticisms for your failures / unwillingness to do your jobs right

I think after reading this I am going to vomit.

[rkidlad]

Same in every facet of life here. If officials ain't threatening defamation when being rightly criticised, they're playing the victim and asking for 'fairness'.  

 

Children playing at being adults.

Makes one wonder if the former Ex Attorney-General had any influence on the case ? just a thought now he is defending the the Red Bull Heir  

[ChrisY1]

This guys family certainly make all the big wigs jump....

After 5 years of utter BS, the ex Attorney General rises and defends this fiasco.....

These are the types of people that are entrenched throughout the system, that keep Thailand a developing nation....!

[Get Real]

Just throw up! Give me a bag too.

since when does it take years to investigate a car crash where there is vdo and witnesses and damage to vehicle. This excuse is for the ignorant to pacify the complaints against them for dragging their feet. Anyone with any sense knows a accident doesn't take years to gather sufficient evidence to prosecute.

 Ah a god ol' laugh to start the week off. "Ensure justice.". Surely justice should be for the deceased and the deceased's family. Consider his appeals. I'm ok with that if and only if he appeared in court and not flee the country. Truly a two-tier justice system.

Accident, obstruction of justice (yes, they got the gardener/driver to admit it was him - funny how there was never a charge for that), drugs and alcohol in system (remember the lady that got 15 years for 6mg of cocaine), leaving the scene of an accident, speeding, reckless driving and of course the small matter of killing someone in the process.

 

I bet Boss feels like a right dick though, because Jenpop was caught on camera driving reckless, killed TWO people, was proven to be guilty then after the fact admitted guilt which got his sentence cut in half to 2 years. Oh...and now he's out on bail anyway.

It must be nice to have an ex attorney general in your pocket?

[klauskunkel]

To the Ex-attorney general a piece of advice:

in the future, don't talk. Don't even open your mouth. Go hide under a bed.

if you believe that the law applies to everyone, then cases such as this reveal that thailand has no functioning justice system

So treat Yingluck the same?  she's fled the same or is it because he's the son of an Ammart?  (rhetorical we know the answer)

" He defended that the Red Bull Heir, Vorayudh Yoovidhya, had appealed for justice and, therefore, the public prosecutors had to consider his appeals to ensure justice. "

 

Ok. But while these appeals are being considered, the clock on the statute of limitations should stop!!!!

[gandalf12]

What about justice for the family of the policeman he killed? Or don't they count?

[hansnl]

The policeman he killed, allegedly of course, is begging for justice, fairness and honesty.

[Media1]

Boss did some good work. They need to employ him in the reform panel

My heart bleeds. Talk to his boss

[mikebell]

Why does nobody in this country accept responsibility for wrong doing?  Boss appealed for justice whilst refusing to pop into the local police station citing flu' & other pathetic excuses.  Now the big boss of Thai (in)justice system speaks out on his behalf.  How do people like the  Attorney General get this job?

[inThailand]

His comments should help him get a big discount on a new Ferrari.

[cheshiremusicman]

The statute of time limitations should not apply to ANY prosecution when the accused does not appear in court to defend themselves. That's the only way that justice can be seen to be fair to all.
