Popular Post Presnock Posted June 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2022 to see a murderer who then chopped up his victim and tossed her away in a suitcase only get 8 years in prison while another guy along with 8 other car bombers who was tried "in absentia" got 46 years in prison. If they can try this guy and 8 others in absentia, why can't they try the Red Bull heir in absentia...oh yeah Thaksin was tried and convicted in absentia too. Thaksin of course we know why but I really fail to see why the Red Bull heir continues to await the dropping of charges due to his non appearance - seems money is not the sole reason, politics plays a bit in the games played too. I am glad that they continue to track some bad guys but wish they tracked all of them and were successful in bringing them to justice. My opinion anyway. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Bull heir must have connections at a very high level, no surprise there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandeventer Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 5 hours ago, RichardColeman said: Sentenced in absence to 46 years ? Probably take them that long to track him down. 46 years for maybe killing someone and 8 years for killing someone? Now if the bomb that they have made gone off and someone died should their sentence be reduced to 8 years? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the guy was arrested, pleaded guilty and was sentenced. Whereas the other eight are still at large. The OP is not clear on that but the linked report goes into more detail.

A suspect was later arrested by the police and charged with terrorism, criminal association and violation of the firearms and explosives law. He pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to a total of 46 years in prison. So what happen to the 50% reduction if you plead guilty--was his sentence 92 years before he pleaded Guilty ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
