The biggest lie :  Equal justice.

The statutes of limitations apply to everyone's cases.

I think most TVF members would be smart enough NOT to crash their Porsche into a police officer on a motorcycle in a drunken, cocaine fueled stupor in the first place!

Which members do you think drive Porsches and why did you mention that brand?

TVF myth, I don't believe it.  Not one single photo of him in Thailand, not one.

And you think that the reason for that is due to the fact that he hasn't been here, or that the media have been "warned off"?

So you have evidence that he has been here, have you?  Opinions or speculation is not evidence.

Not seen a photo of him outside of Thailand for a few years either, no one knows which country he's hiding in, although obviously not Thailand

Probably because no one outside Thailand is interested and, even if there were new photos of him, what good would it do?

Its always fun to see the self righteous and outraged  TVF  members getting their knickers in a twist over this story, 

But I wonder, how many of you , if involved in a similar situation, and with similar wealth and options available. to you would actually behave any differently 

Does that include yourself?

For a start, they could boycott Red Bull, but I bet every second taxi driver is swilling it down with not a care in the world for the evil creatures that produce the product.

Vorayuth has nothing to do with the Red Bull company directly, never mind the production of it, he just happens to be a nephew of one of the owners.

Without rule of law, Thailand will forever remain a 3rd world country. 
The extent of corruption boggles the mind.

Then when he obtained a false passport and left, a real country would have Interpol issue a Red notice.

But look what happened!

Interpol have issued a red notice and Vorayuth was never reported to be using a false passport.

In many countries you simply would be tried in court in absentia, if you don't show up you pretty much get convicted. There is no need to let it simply run out of time. Unless of course that was the plan.

Trial in absentia has only ever applied to politicians in Thailand.

Aside from BBC world, CNN, AP news and all the other major international media outlets that have covered it many times for their international readers. Plus red notice may give you a hint why there are no photos

If a defendant deliberately evades his trial by fleeing for many many years, there is no reason to allow him the benefits of the statute of limitations.

There is every reason, the law accommodates it, SoL start from the date the crime was committed.

A legally binding judgment - in the name of the people - should then also be possible in his absence.

Maybe it should be but, legally, it isn't.    

[Dont confuse me]

I agree with the posts quoting  'money talks' 

So why not all those who feel personally about this fiasco (Thais and falang) have a collection and offer it up as a reward ....

It wouldn't take much for him to get a good kicking! Obviously more money more of a kicking!

Just a thought.

Because that's the only justice this little spoilt brat is going to see.

Start the trail, let him defend himself or continue in his absence.

As soon as that trial you suggests starts (not that it ever would under the law) the case would be thrown out and he would be acquitted as a mistrial would be declared!

But, to be honest, he is not the only one to have ducked justice

Justice is available to all Thais. However the richer you or your family are, the better justice you can buy.

Bah!  Interpol doesn't issue the notice, it is the country that issues Red Notices.  If you have checked Interpol's website over these many years and searched for Thailand Red Notices, you would note that the Thais never seemed to have bothered to issue one for him.

Countries can't apprehend anyone if there isn't a warrant or request out.

The defendant deliberately caused the delay in the verdict by fleeing for several years. Logically, this would then also have to cause the duration of the statute of limitations to be interrupted. Unfortunately, this causal logic does not apply in Thai jurisprudence.

This case got nowhere near a verdict, it didn't even get to court.  It is not logical to suggest that the statute of limitations that starts at the time of the commission of a crime has been interrupted.
