New witnesses key to charges being dropped against Red Bull ‘Boss’: Thai media

[mberbae]

Why did Vorayuth Yoovidhya fail to answer EIGHT court

summons and go on the run if he was innocent ?

Why did he leave the country SO FAST ? Was it because he

may have had drugs in his system ?

Unless that particular Ferrari had a paper front bumper there is no way that much damage was caused at 60kmh.

 

hopeless 

[hobz]

What are the odds that TWO witnesses both saw a hit and run on a cop and decided to not say anything for 7 years 555

[wombat]

goodness me, isn't that bike solid to do that damage at 80kph

[Don Mega]

Bam, there it is, have always said Khun boss was innocent and the events that followed was a stitch up in the hopes of a cake box given who he is.

As I posted in another thread, the forensic investigation gave clear evidence of a rear-ended impact to the Policeman's motorcycle at 177km/h.

 

 

Ive not seen pics of the bike after the  incident but whats been shown of the fezza sure do not support that speed.

And why did these 2 "Phantom Witnesses"

not stay at the scene to render assistance and give statements at the time?

I understand, those witnesses failed to stop to assist the accident victim. Could they now be charged instead? (By victim I mean the policeman, not the poor boy who is blamed for everything but apparently not at fault)

"Cop was reversing at full speed" witnesses said. Case closed. ????

[GinBoy2]

I actually hate myself for even bothering to reply to this thread.

 

We all knew the outcome of this years ago, it was a forgone conclusion.

 

But to make it even more ridiculous they somehow mange to find 'witnesses' almost 8 years later, Oh Puhleeze!

 

The country is a corrupt basket case, lying, corruption and wealth just go hand in hand.

 

To the newbies, try not to stress too much about it, because you'll see this nonsense over and over again

Saying the car was only doing 60 KPH is a load in itself

Has anyone here ever seen a hi so obey the speed limit

That's about the only thing missing in this farce. 

[grumpy 4680]

       If these alleged witnesses, saw what happened, then failed to stop, surely they should be prosecuted for failure to do so.

       Or are there not any Laws in Thailand to that effect.

[ronaldo0]

So professional accident investigators are out by over a 100kph ?? Yet two people in a pick up can tell the speed of a moving car just like that and if the Ferrari was only doing around 60/70kph and they were behind it and it passed them are you telling me they are driving down the central lane doing 40/50kph ?? If so they would have been able to brake if the cop pulled in front of them and no need to swerve to left lane !

If this fairytale was true then why did boss not respond to all the police summonses to explain and why suddenly run off on a private plane ?

Hans Christian Anderson would struggle to make this up !

It has gone Viral and now worldwide on the stage of infamy.  I just got a call from a buddy in Nevada who said he was going to make a bet at one of the casinos that the case would be re-started as the Thai prosecutors failed to have the time frozen for all the charges as he had fled the country.  When someone flees, the time until a charge falls off of the books is generally stopped while the warrant is active.  Only then is the time restarted after either the warrant period runs out or the individual is apprehended.  You generally can not outrun a case as they will refile the charge and reactivate the warrant, but then this is Thailand.... 

That's only the case if the legal system in question has what's known as a tolling provision allowing for the elapsed time to be 'frozen.' Thai law does not have a tolling provision, so the clock keeps on ticking no matter what the circumstances.

[spidermike007]

Ever wonder why it is so much easier for super wealthy people to come up with helpful witnesses, a d expert testimony? 

 

Do they honestly think anyone, and I mean anyone, is buying this load of nonsense? This is Thailand's version of "hi-so justice".

If he had remained, it's very likely that he would have failed a soberiety test - a crime.

 

Driving in the far right lane at 60 kph while not overtaking- a crime.

 

Stating that he wasn't driving the vehicle, when he was - a crime.

 

Lying to the police - a crime.

 

Even if totally not his fault, driving with a person trapped beneath your car causing their death - definitely a f@@k&*g crime.

You tink too mutt!

[vangrop]

After SEVEN years these crucial witnesses appear from nowhere. Well If I would be in the shoes of "Boss" I would sue them for the last 7 miserable years I had to spend due to their lack of civism. Really this banana state is the clowns part of Barnum & Bailey Circus.

[Nanaplaza666]

I geuss if he has started to hand out millions to "witnesses" that have been there and "saw" the accident , that street was unusualy busy that day in time . And i am not an expert but if a car hits a motorcycle in the back with 60km/h or even mph while the motorbike is also moving not standing still , i geus the damage wouldn't be like what i see in the picture . Damage like that you get when the motorbike is standing still and gets hit with 60km/h or mph or when the motorbike is driving and gets hit at 177km/h anywho, i am not an expert but what i do know is that this is not B.S but ???? coming out of a much bigger animal because B.S is not even beginning to say how made up this story is .

Well, they did say there are no double standards here. If you can get away with speeding, drink driving, driving under the influence of a class A drug, hitting someone with your car, dragging their body along the floor, running from then scene of an incident, lying to the police, coercing your staff to take the blame and then absconding overseas *gasps for breath, then surely they can get away with failing to report any of this. 

 

After all, no crime was committed apparently..........

 

 

[cardinalblue]

They did not dream it up - they were told exactly what to say....Follow the money

 

hope all parties are found guilty and legally punished...Thai image is at stake

Can anyone clear this up for me. If the pickup swerved to the left footpath, how could they observe what was happening in the third outside lane, how could they judge the speed of Brats car while they were taking evasive actions to avoid a motorcycle cop, how could their testimony be accepted regarding the speed Brat was doing , asI don’t know anyone who can be sure of another vehicles speed unless it was said as going faster than me and I was doing 60 km or otherwise you could only say the vehicle appeared to be going very fast or seemed to be at normal speed but you could not say you were certain of the speed. Also your attention was on taking evasive action. It is also impossible for  car to take a bike that far at 60/80 kms for a start a experienced sober driver would’ve braked. My and most others conclusion would be that this is an orchestrated litany of pathetic lies

If they want to save face now the justice department will have to pardon the B2

[hlj]

The air marshal's plane was probably grounded because of the covad 19 he was out of work and could not continue his life style without work and income. The other witness just a joe off the streets to back up the air marshal's story. They have now have their scape goats, the brown envelopes must have been a big one.

You missed fleeing the country to avoid prosecution.  But for the "Boss" it's probably Ok!  He's not a commoner.

Read 1984, the past is alterable.

It took them that long to come up with that story ???????????????????? 

 

I’m sure there are other witnesses and camera footage that somehow disappeared ????

The windscreen was badly damaged, did the policeman bounce of it and then get tangled with the car to be dragged the 50 odd metres he was ?

How much would it cost to get 2 of the same model cars and reproduce the accident? Heck, Ferrari might have computer simulations for that...
