Premchai’s Black Panther Trial To Begin In November

By Teeranai Charuvastra, Staff Reporter

Premchai Karnasuta, a walking cane in hand, arrives at a court on Aug. 6.

 

BANGKOK — Court dates have been set for construction mogul Premchai Karnasuta’s trial on charges of poaching, media reports said Saturday.

 

Quoting an official in the prosecutor’s office, JS100 news said the first witnesses will take the stand Nov. 27 to testify against the influential president of Italian-Thai Development, who’s been indicted on six charges related to an alleged hunting trip in a wildlife sanctuary in February.

 

The hearing will run through Dec. 27 and see 49 witnesses take the stand for both sides. Premchai is also charged with illegal possession of firearms, which will be tried separately in July.

From a fearless able body hunter and camper only few months ago now he's walking with a cane, come November he be in wheelchair i bet you...

I thought all the evidence had been lost and the witnesses had changed their testimonies?

His "handlers" have staged a little aging and feebleness look until after the trial when he will return to being a ruthless killer of innocent animals. I guess eating the panther's penis didn't do much for his own manhood.

Well, there will still have to be a court hearing, to confirm that all the evidence has been lost and the witnesses have changed their testimonies.

 

Justice must be seen to be done.

If he's really unlucky he could become one of Prawit's dead friends to borrow a watch from.

....or out of the country.

They were playing this up like people were outraged .... and even put out an ecological angle about wildlife destruction. Those stories died months ago, looks like the outrage was 90% PR ? manufactured.

 

MLB playoffs are coming up.

Really surprising to see this go to court. He will lose. No amount of canes, crutches, casts, and neck braces will buy sympathy from anyone. A plea deal was his only chance. Maybe in light of the rock solid case and him being high profile they decided to put him through the ringer instead.

 

Unlikely doing a runner is an option for this guy at this point. If he becomes a fugitive from justice he may lose his job, influence, and lots of money from Ital Thai. Even if found guilty he can probably drag out appeals for years so not even a sweat yet.

I bet that you are right, he has already declared his innocence on all charges

I don't know, he looks like a real prick.

I think that you will find that there is still outrage from all sections  of the community, more so than for Watchfinder General

I reckon that he will need to watch his step. He may well escape with a few million in fines and damages and no time in the slammer, but many people put animal welfare before human life and can be quite fanatical.

Good job he wasn't picking mushrooms or organizing something on Facebook...would have been done and dusted straight away with 15 years before you could say 'Pudgy bat fastard.' As for the walking stick...give me a break <deleted>.

For all you know, he could have been eating his panther with wild mushroom sauce

The world waits with bated breath.?

But....they didn't say which November did they !

surely you mean the Elon Musk brigade letting out their small lives on EVERY voiceless animal thread. Now thats FANATICAL

 

it takes many varying mental illness's to be a hunter/trophy hunter/animal abuser. Just have to look at the guy

The trial begins but the decision of not guilty has already been paid for so the decision has been reached!

Clearly he learned a thing or two from Bill Cosby.

My guess is that he pleads guilty and pays a fine, pay off the panthers parents so they don't press charges and he walks free. Typical murder trial in thailand.

Hmm, what's he going to pay off the panther's parents with - five kilos of fresh meat each?

Yes, or something like that. 

 

Why do they even bother going through the motions.

That could be a "Cane gun", just incase he spots anything moving on

the way to the court.
