Ms Yingluck could face more lawsuits from those injured and affected from the deadly dispersal. (MCOT online news)-- TNA 2014-03-12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesetat2013 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 With so many charges already against these people and more pending it will be a long time coming before these people will be able to walk without looking at each step they take. With so many cases against them surely 1 will be won that will be enough to remove them from office and send them home with their tails between their legs. Then maybe this country can begin to move forward again. Sent from my GT-S5310 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any one left in Thailand at the moment who doesn't have charges hanging over them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernjohn Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 They went after abhisit. This was inevitable. They are such an ignorant lot. They set a precedent and then begin to commit the same acts and expect it to be OK. Wouldn't it be interesting to hear from Yingluck's former collage what they think of her or if they are trying to forget they took her money and gave her a piece of paper. I wonder what her fellow class mates think of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly....so why are they charging Abhibsit for murder then ? If his charges stand, then so should dear YK's If they are all proven guilty lock them all up Of course waiting on the typical red peanut gallery comment of Suthep is a fascist you know 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rickirs Posted March 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2014 "Premeditated murder" is a murder committed by someone who 1) Has malice or desire to kill 2) Aware that one's actions will lead to the death of a victim or victims 3) Identifies the victim or victims 4) Plans the murder ahead by selecting the means of murder, the place, the time, and tracking the victim or victims to such planned place and time. 5) Plans evasion and escape What happened at the Phan Fah clash was a spontaneous gun fight between the police and unknown armed assailants that resuled in the deaths of police, assailants, and civilians. How does that incident in anyway fit premeditated murder by government officials? If there was any premeditated murder it would be committed by the armed assailants. "Never say never" but for a charge and conviction against specified police and government officials there would have to be some extraordinary and uncontrovertable evidence that isn't typically found in the Thai judicial system. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Mr./Mrs. rickirs, please be informed that we the legal representatives of K. Abhisit / Suthep will invite you as witness for the defense in the 'pre-meditated murder' trial against the two said gentlemen. We really look forward to your statement in court and thank you for your cooperation. With deep respect, yours truly, B. Rubble, D.U.p.e.

Exactly the same perplexing questions exist over the charges of premeditated murder brought against Abhisit and Suthep. The reality is , it is all crap and the only ones seeing any benefit out of even pressing any of these ridiculous charges (which can never be won) are the lawyers who get paid whatever the result. I feel sorry for the relatives of the unfortunate victims who have been persuaded to press ahead and finance these un-winable law suits just so the lawyers can order their next Mercedes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SICHONSTEVE Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It's not about what you agree with, it's about what the definition of premeditated murder is, as defined by the law Who's definition is it because it isn't very concise and a lot of it is open to question?? For example - you are saying that if someone plans to kill some one and then simply stand there waiting for the police to come then that's not (by your definition) premeditated as they didn't plan an escape route.

Fat Haggis Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Did she orders the Police to kill the protestors? No I think you'll find she said that refrain from using violence. Whoever started the exchange of fire is responsible, the PM isn't resonsible for an individuals actions either, that's why there's a Chain of Command. By you definition, then Barack Obama is resonsible for the hundreds of deaths of innocent Pakistani and Afghan villagers through drone strikes? (Some may argue he really is) but the Commanders on the ground were the ones who called the shots so to speak.Neither Yingluck or Suthep and Abhisit will see the inside of a courtroom, but if one does, they all should, and they should all accept the responsibility of their decisions, not actions, but decisions. The Generals and the Police Generals are every bit as gulity through association in my view, the ones who were on the ground at the time that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
