Prosecutors reject police case file on Siam Paragon shooting

[snoop1130]

 

Public prosecutors have decided to return the case file of the 14-year-old suspect in the Siam Paragon shooting on October 3o to the police, on the grounds that the police enquiry was unlawful, because it was carried out without waiting for the youth’s mental health assessment from the Galya Rajanagarindra Institute.

 

Nakane Thongpraiwan, deputy spokesman for the Office of the Attorney-General, said today that the boy was sent to the institute by the police for examination and treatment, as they suspected that he might not be mentally fit to stand trial.

 

While the boy was still at the institute, he said that the police enquiry team filed formal charges against the boy, while the report on his mental health was still being written.

Brown envelope?

RTP making another procedural mistake!  (They did it with the Red Bull brat Interpol application too.)

Maybe they jumped the gun but can file it again very quickly.

Might depend on the content of the report.. didn't it suggest he was not competent to stand trial?

Indeed.

 

But they need to be careful. If Chinese social media finds out that the killer of the young Chinese mother got off scot free it will be another blow for what is left of Thailand's reputation in China.

Some one once said, 'the law is an ass.' This is an example of asinine behaviour which is common in Thailand and in the US. There is no dispute that the kid did it, so get on with the trial and lock him up. Let the judge get psychiatric evaluations to determine whether he goes to a hospital or to real jail. Someone else said 'justice delayed is justice denied' and I read a couple of days back the some case from 2003 had been adjudicated. This isn't rocket science, how come no one in Thailand cans love the justice denied problem??????

The first step in ensuring that the rich and powerful's child-criminals are able to avoid any consequences of their actions is to provide the Boys in Brown with the envelopes of encouragement to enable them to do what they do best - deliberately start stuffing things up so that by the time any "trial" comes around, the accused has already flown the coop to posh digs in foreign countries without extradition treaties and the evidence is available to dismiss the charges. Then you gauge public outrage to determine whether you can get away with it at first glance, and if not, then you add more evidence tampering and new witness testimony along with other false information to muddy the waters and extend the time since the offense. If worse comes to worse and the public still care, you simply ignore Interpol notices and the perp rides out the time until statute of limitations expire.

You can also just come and face the consequences and spend the time in a luxury hospital custom-designed for your pleasure so you can live as if you were free for a few months until you are "exonerated" or "forgiven". As to the victims, they're dead and justice will be done in the next life according to karmic wheels. There is no mystery to this.

Maybe the Chinese government will assassinate the punk. Let things cool off and use a car or arrange some other sort of "accident".
