tfc Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 He had to give up his pocket money for the week to pay "compensation" to the family. I am thinking that this is the end of the matter. I may be wrong and would be surprised if I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Money talks everywhere. If you can afford the best lawyers money can buy, even a guy like OJ can walk. Last time I checked, OJ is still in the slammer.... He got off once, but eventually got his karma... In September 2007, Simpson was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada, and charged with numerous felonies, including armed robbery and kidnapping.[3] In 2008, he was found guilty[4][5] and sentenced to thirty-three years' imprisonment, with a minimum of nine years without parole.[6] He is serving his sentence at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Lovelock, Nevada. One can only hope that karma will eventually catch up with the Ferrari guy as well. Edited October 16, 2012 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can only hope that karma will eventually catch up with the Ferrari guy as well. Yes, OJ got his just deserts second time around, and there was no way he was going to get off. However, there have been countless murder trials where the rich and famous have been found innocent against overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Do you think if OJ had been a black guy from the projects with a court appointed lawyer he would have been found innocent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) When was the last time, or any time, someone that famous in Thailand got a 33-year prison sentence including a guarantee of no parole until after 9 years of real prison time, and actually was forced to serve the sentence (instead of being allowed to escape the country)? I won't hold my breath waiting for the answer. And OJ's sentence wasn't even for killing someone in his most recent court case that resulted in the sentence. OJ's probably wishing he had been living in Thailand instead... Then he and the Ferrari kid could have gone out carousing and driving together.

He was released from jail after paying compensation of 100,000 baht to the grieving family. Wouldnt happen in my country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hes not in the slammer .The family have asked for more money and hes going to pay it so end of story. Ummm ... no There were two cases from memory. The civil case for which he has offered compensation. Then there is the police case against him and that is a completly seperate matter. Of course money couldn't buy his way out of that one ... Or they could set an example of him and uphold the Law to the letter, though I'm not holding my breath. .

giddyup Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Like a lot of high profile cases, they receive maximum exposure on Thai television for a couple of weeks, then fade into obscurity. Not one reporter has the guts to follow up on the story and report what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlejuice Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I thought his sentence was a bit harsh. His Daddy grounded him for a week, and was forced to write on the blackboard 200 times; I must not go around running over policeman on the roads.

I may be wrong and would be surprised if I am. Actually he paid a lot of money as compensation. Much more that the normal compensation for such an offence.

But I am being totally naive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommoPhysicist Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Do you think rich people should be fined more than poor people? Only if retired and unemployed people get longer jail sentences. (fine proportional to wealth therefore jail sentence proportional to free time) Edited October 16, 2012 by TommoPhysicist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Do you think rich people should be fined more than poor people? In a word, yes. Fear of a few hundred dollar fine isn't going to change a rich guy's behavior as much as a poor guy's behavior. If the purpose of the penalty is to incent good behavior and punish bad behavior, it makes no sense to fine somebody an amount that doesn't sting at least a little.

Do you think rich people should be fined more than poor people? Do you think paying money for running over and killing someone, then fleeing the scene is justice served? When you have billions is a few hundred thousand going to be missed? Compensation is not a fine BTW, and of course the rich can afford to pay more than the poor. How much do you think the policeman's family would have got if he'd been run over by a tuk-tuk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watcharacters Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 There doesn't seem to be any concrete information available then as far as I can gather. We all know and understand TIT and apparently the 15 minutes attention he received for his behavior is over and done with. Guess he's free to do it all over again. Watch out!

How much do you think the policeman's family would have got if he'd been run over by a tuk-tuk? I'm not talking about justice served, no I don't think that. Justice will be done in the courts. The normal compensation is 50,000 baht. That's how much they would have got by a tuk tuk driver if he had it. There's a chance they would get nothing. They got more than enough compensation. What was it - 3 million baht? Do you agree with the family trying to milk the rich guy, which they didn't? If it were a foreigner, or yourself, would you welcome the family trying to get more off you? And fleeing the scene is the norm here - there are many reasons for this.
