Unfortunately the damage on the Ferrari does not support that he was driving under the 60 Km/h.  That would mean he was only driving at 37 mph for those from the US.  That damage is consistent with a higher impact speed.

It also fails to take into account for the driver's actions after the collision at the 'witnessed slower speed'. Accidents may happen but a driver has the responsibility to stop and assist any person injured by their vehicle. At the 'now claimed slower speed' it is very unlikely the motorcyclist would have died. Therefore driving off with the motorcyclist trapped under the car caused his demise, manslaughter at best and possibly murder.

Your assuming he applied the brakes at time of impact.

i have already answered this in my comment if you fully read it????‍♂️
if he did not brake immediately at impact
then
"at very least he would be driving without due care and attention and would be causing death by negligence"

[fxe1200]

May be they forgot to put the judge on the pay roll.

Is jetsetting around the world defined as "on the run" ?

A physics specialist at Chula University calculated his speed to be over 170km. There’s a document online.

 

As for your “on the run” comment, you’re absolutely right. He wasn’t on the run. He was allowed to leave Thailand and law enforcement agencies made zero attempt to bring him back. He was allowed to jet set around the world because he paid people off. Poor people go on the run.

OK, so he wasn't on the run but he was so innocent he tried to "throw an employee under the bus."

what model was his Ferrari  ?
it looks like it could be an FF to me but i could be wrong
apparently Ferrari's have the best braking distances
For 100km/h (60mph)
a Ferrari F2004 can stop in as little as 16 meters
If his car was an FF then its braking distance from 100km/h would be just 35 meters
60km/h would obviously be even less

and according to phuket news (link not posted)
it was over 200 meters he dragged the officer

Charter Court judge seeks probe into handling of the Red Bull heir case

And here was I thinking that Thai people didn’t care. Only farangs. It’s the culture and Thais accept the way it is. Well, reading through Twitter comments I would have to assume the accounts of angry Thais are just bots. 
 

But in saying that, if they are real, maybe the next rich d***head who gets drunk and coked up and thinks it would be a good idea to speed in his sports car might think twice. Maybe any drunk idiot will think twice about doing it. And that small change is a million times better than no change at all.

I doubt many Thai people had trust in the law enforcement to begin with. 

You have the two law enforcement organisations which work side by side with the two levels of justice system, one for the rich, and one everyone else.

Maybe it's a trap to catch him. Once Boss returns to Thailand, it suddenly was all a misunderstanding and he will be arrested and charged...(probably not ????)

A cynic might reply that perhaps this judge has not yet received the amount his position merits.

It is not unprecedented, it is the Thai way, the rich can do do whatever they want and the poor can f... themselves.

he also dragged the officer over 100 meters
(Bangkok post not linked)
when the TOTAL stopping distance for 60km/h is less than half of that at 45m for the "average family car"
not to mention how much better Ferrari brakes are compared to the "average family car" which braking distances are based on

according to braking distances and how far he dragged the officer
then that would put the car at over 100km/h
at very least he would be driving without due care and attention and would be causing death by negligence

it does not matter how many (paid) witnesses come forward
simple math and science says otherwise.

my thoughts exactly.

 

Nice bit of science and academia there but what's the relevance? It is my understanding that 'Boss' didn't stop, let alone make any braking effort.

The police followed a trail of brake fluid to the house so most likely the vehicle had no brakes to stop anyways.

 

Wonder how far a car rolls to a complete stop from 60km/h

No doubt that brown envelopes were passed around Colin but according to pbsworld a huge white envelope containing 300 million baht tipped the scales of (in)justice. 

[TKDfella]

Admire the judge's stance but if anyone had been worried about Thailand's Judicial System 'image' the case would have been dealt with long ago. Hasn't the PM and other officials made it clear that foreigners don't understand Thai ways. And as far as the general public is concerned they'll accept it and forget about it (apart from maybe a few student demonstrators). If the police don't stand up for their own I doubt anyone else will.

 The next statement has a 30 second shelf life ????

suspect was spared prosecution, apparently because of his economic and social status, is unprecedented and incomprehensible.

since there was No trust left from any law enforcement agencies, thus nothing to diminish from all trust has been gone for quite some time, at least since 2014

[RichardColeman]

Out of interest, has anyone heard from the family of the deceased or are they staying quiet from a large pay off  too ?

I think you would have a very, very hard time finding any Thai who trusts anyone at all involved in law enforcement in this country. So how can you diminish something that doesn't exist?
