Misterwhisper Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Prosecutor: "Farang defendent, why did you murder that bar girl? What was your motive?" Farang defendent: "I didn't murder her. I only killed her while I couldn't control myself." Fat chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 And is this mentally unstable person still permitted to drive a car or has his license been revoked? I also noticed how many hi-so types seem to be "mentally unstable" in this country (or perhaps claim to be so they never have to face the music). Is this a cultural thing? Genetic, perhaps? Or just another ugly manifestation of 'Thainess'? As usual, the mind boggles. Naaaaaaaah, it's called Moneyness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rattler Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 .

EyesWideOpen Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) We all knew this was going to be the outcome, but it still makes me want to puke when I read it. Think it is time for the regular Thai people to rise up and take justice into their own hands, because for damn sure it is not going to come from the government... :-( Edited March 5, 2013 by EyesWideOpen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daboyz1 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 And people wonder why a crook like Thaksin and his cohorts get elected.

Sakeopete Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Where are the righteous red shirts to condemn this travesty of justice. I guess if they don't get paid its not worth protesting the Amart.

Traxster Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Kanpitak, son of Kun-anek and Savinee; former Miss Thailand, to pay compensation to Sangwan Srihawong, for Bt800,000. That'll probably come out of the petty cash drawer. And, if your parents are rich, how many people do you have to kill before you get a proper sentence ?.

uptheos Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Disgusting. He may have escaped prison, but i pray he and his parents are tormented by their guilty conscience for the rest of their lives and society shuns them. The parents won't have any guilt, people shouldn't have got in their sons way and the matter is probably already forgotten, though it might be interesting dinner talk how inconsiderate the peasants are. Society will not shun them as they have demonstrated that they have both money and power, two things that put you high on the Thai hierarchical ladder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locationthailand Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Nothing will change the bribery and corruption of this place any time soon because it is all the way to the court and judges who are supposed to uphold the law. They are a disgrace to their position and what they represent. If you have money you get away with murder as demonstrated here. This little prick need a frontal lobotomy - pleading stress (poor dear) and a deliberate case of road rage where death was the result. He needs life, not a 2 year suspended sentence. In the least, the monkey house and some bum fodder so he is taught a lesson. Had it been a Farang guilty of this it would have been 10+ years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from raise a scumbag son, the parents have done what many would do if their child was to face a lengthy time in a Thai jail. Despite the children of the poor starting to live a more educated wealthier existence Thailand doesn't get more civilised. Seems to me things will never change in my life and i'm only mid 30s.
