Soo boring who cares

It's actually very, very important. Your apathy is doing nothing at all to help make Thailand's justice system any better.

Sira implied Thanasit may feel intimidated by someone behind the case

All that shines a bright light on how Thailands legal system really works ...

Corruption is so deeply embedded in it that it seems absolutely normal for some rich people to just pay some ' influential ' high ranking guys to change the facts ( and truth ) of a crime to make them go free and unpunished ... really disgusting third world standard and a ' modern democracy ' should eradicate that behavior as soon as possible .

Go Students go ... may be you can change something in this filthy system ... look at Belarus ...

not so easy anymore , as the case became of ' public interest ' .

I find it positive that they are perfectly able to calculate the correct vehicle speed (if they want too). How about these 2 witnesses why did they give false testimonies about the speed of the culprit?

How very interesting, just like the "doctored" forensic evidence in the Koh Tao murder (2 Burmese lads).

The front of that Ferrari looks like it wasn't going very fast at all - 100 MPH impact would have totalled the front end and disintegrated the bike - assume that is not the actual bike in the picture so what's the point of it being there.  

 

Why not have a re-enactment with some pointy fingers, not seen them in a while?

Somyot Poompanmoung is a former commissioner-general of the Royal Thai Police and current president of the Football Association of Thailand. Following the military coup of 22 May 2014, Somyot was appointed to the National Legislative Council.

Both vehicles were moving in the same direction. If the Ferrari was doing 177 mph  and the motorbike was doing 120 mph  the impact would only be equivalent of 50 mph

and if the ferrari was only doing 79 mph and the motorbike was pottering along at 60 mph, there would not have been much impact - cedrtainly not enough to cause death

[Steve DaPilot]

Why doesn't this chairman of law and justice just make it clear once and for all an appoint an outside technical expert to validate, revalidate or calculate from scratch the speed? Its not rocket science - distance travelled divided by the elapsed time ! I'd even be willing to bet that there is a reputable foreign ex-professor or engineer stuck in LOS now who would do it for free. Or it could be given to say any neutral party in another country (except Austria please 555 !)

Don't get your hopes up too high.....this is Thailand after all!

And who pressured the commander? And who pressured that person? Continue until you get to the top.

Scrambling to save their collective ars*s... what a farce !

I hope they all think the Red Buls**t heir was worth all the trouble.

They just type out the guarantee then print it on some paper then it will be worth as much as the paper it's printed on.

Apparently quite a few guarantees have been issued over the case.

All starting to look like the true value as you say.

[DerekJ]

Yeah, check his bank account....... 

[milesinnz]

Giving enough and continual social shaming of Red Bull idiot, and if people keep pointing the finger at him wherever he goes and he is not allowed to forget what he has done, and if it is made clear that 99% of Thailand hate him, then this will punish him with enough serious psychological damage, that at the end of the day, he might squander a lot of his money on drugs, and never live to be an old man...

[sead]

told him privately that he would reveal the name of the commander in his testimony to the House committee, but he failed to do so.

Guess the brown envelope were big enough.......

 

[spidermike007]

Call out the commander by name, blacken his name to the greatest extent possible, and shame him to smithereens. We know no charges will ever filed against him. Make him pay, one way or another.

Very true and cynical comment.

I think the only way to guarantee safety is by moving to another country, as others have done in the past.

I hear BJ is back in Thailand from his Buddhist retreat in India?

Be assured that as the tangled web is unravelled that there are forces grabbing the end of the untangled strings and retangling them into an even tighter, more tangle-free resistant mess.

Ah…the plot…sickens.

 

The fact that this mysterious “Commander" remains unidentified suggests:

 

1.  He’s too connected to confront.

2. He’s been given a set amount of time to come up with a suitable bribe.

3. He doesn’t exist. There is no “Commander”…like the Watch-man's dead friend...its all 

   misdirection.

 

This whole show could play out for a very long time, The only certainty being that it will only go away when he ‘right’ person…receives the ‘right’ amount of money.

 

Amazing Thailand...you couldn't make this stuff up.

 

 

He doesn’t exist. There is no “Commander”…like the Watch-man's dead friend. He cannot say the commanders name yet because at the moment he was asked he still had to come up with one , they are now eagerly looking for a dead commanders name to ad to the long list of non excisting people involved in this case ????
