Tarit shrugs off court decision to reject case against Abhisit, Suthep

[seajae]

why should he be worried, he did what his boss paid him to do and made up and filed bogus charges, probably already spent his bonus for doing it anyway. What a weasel of a man this piece of excrement really is.

If the charges were "bogus" the OAG wouldn't have presented them to the court and the court would not have accepted them. Whatever you think of the man, the evidence exists, and as he says, it is now, or should be, up to the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Political Office Holders to deal with the case. This is where the NACC truly shows it's colours.

you mean all the good little thaksinites from the ptp, no evidence apart from"they used high powered weapons like the army uses". This is not evidence, once again where are all the ballistic reports on the bullets linking them to the actual weapon used, that right, there are none. It was all conjecture on the part of tarit to suit his bosses wishes and you are continuing the lies for him. Simply making up a pack of lies to suit your agenda is not reliable evidence especially when you do not even have the right to make those charges in the first place. All we do now is laugh at you and your apologist mates as your world is collapsing around you, pretty pathetic when you are unable to see your own demise and that of the ones you placed on pedestals, you have my sympathy if nothing else.

did someone roll over a large stone - what a horrible man

That's no way to describe Abhisit, or Suthep for that matter.They may have blood on their hands but this need to be determined or otherwise in the courts.There must be a presumption of innocence until proved guilty.

But I appreciatre your disgust and revulsion at the deaths of many innocent civilians.

Pretty nasty distortion of a post there Jayboy.

Most people do feel revulsion about the deaths of innocents as well as some red shirts and army & police personnel. But that doesn't give the Chameleon Tarit any excuse for giving the army a free pass (amnesty really) for their role.

He (Tarit to be crystal clear) is a weasel-like puppet who, like many of his fellow party hacks, never let the truth spoil his observance of his master's wishes.

Not only should there be a presumption of innocence until proved guilty, there should also be sufficient competence in those laying charges to bring the case to the appropriate court for rapid decision. As the AG and Tarit are assumed to be intelligent men, or at least have staff to advise them, can we assume the use of an inappropriate venue was a delaying tactic so that the charges could be used as a smear against the accused for as long as possible? And as neither have anything to gain from that, that is was done at the behest of others, in return for some consideration?

Ah yes the hand of Thaksin at work again.Strange how these fantasies occupy the minds of some more than the fates of innocents mown down in the street.

[katana]

Tarit showing his last moves before having to face justice himself. He and his buddy Chalerm damaged Thailand big time, spreading fear and intimidating normal Thai people for merely feeling sympathy for the demonstrators against his shinaclan.

He is one of the leaders that imo MUST be put behind bars. Preferably for a looooooooooong time.

My perception is that Tarit was never a leader. He was just a lackey to whomever was in power at that particular moment, being blessed with a supple spine.

When the Democrats were in power, he went after Thaksin-related targets.

When PTP were governing, he persecuted the "yellows".

Sounds like the vicar of Bray:

Oh JB, spare us the theatrics with 'mown down in the street'. Before you know it someone will start with "grenade lobbing fun", "running into bullets", "retreating under fire by peaceful protesters" and "firing thousands of rounds into a densely packed group of protesters".

Anyway, Tarit put a brave face to it. The Criminal Court suggested the DSI did something wrong, convince the OAG to charge Abhisit/Suthep with "premeditated murder as private persons" at the Criminal Court. The Criminal Court now ruling that their court didn't have jurisdiction over the possible case.

Again, how many times can one be charged for the same alleged offence, or even for related offences?

[Benmart]

Justice is often like instant soup. It may be done quickly, but the version that takes longer is much more satisfying if one only takes the time to prepare the ingredients.

I prefer to stay out of the kitchen and let the cooks do what they do.

Not that my opinion means anything but I do agree there is enough fault across the Thai political spectrum to find all sorts of wrongdoing and corruption. Two major areas are currently, however, immune to the sweeping weeding out the wrongdoing. Perhaps the best that could be hoped for is, that seeing the broad prosecution taking place, others also will "straighten up". OK, at least for awhile. As others have pointed out this will be a changing of culture, extremely difficult and demanding much time. In my home country we still are wrestling with race issues and business/political corruption after how many years? To the Thai people I encourage them to try to change even in the face of resistance.

evidence exists of premeditated murder.... Yeah right fab4.

Sorry Nicky. Fabie is right in that instance.

Jatuporn quote. April 10, 2010.

There will be blood on the street if the government does not call off the dispersal operations.

Our patience is running out. We will take more serious measures to retaliate. The dark sky will turn red, red like blood.

One can be assured the "red" this accused terrorist is describing is not from Chanel's classic lipstick range. It is the same innocent red his terrorist wing spilt on the streets of Bangkok and Trat this year.

I love how he says "We will take more serious measures to retaliate". This is also what the Right Honorable Ahbisit said after the red terrorists threatened to blow up LPG truck, grenade attacks at Thai banks, attacked Thai charity with grenades, stormed parliament, attacked NPP and TPI buildings with M16 and grenades, stormed police hospital, stormed TV station, bomb attacked on electricity pylons, 2 police taken hostage, destroy CCTV cameras and dumped tyres on sky train tracks.

This case will go nowhere just as the yingluck murder case will go nowhere.

Only a fool would run with this story and rest assured Tarit is that fool.

Anything of interest to add or just out to flame?

[fab4]

Now, Are you saying the evidence does not exist?

"We have evidence that showed that Mr. Abhisit and Mr. Suthep ordered security forces to disperse the protesters and authorized the use of weapon and live ammunition," said spokesman Nanthasak Poonsuk of the attorney general's office.

The attorney general's office said that although the deaths and injuries at the protests took place on different days, they were a "direct" consequence of the orders of both men.

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304655104579163603342725302

It may be worth you and others reflecting on what the Criminal Court also said when deciding that their court was not the right place for jurisdiction of their case

On August 28, 2014, the criminal court ruled that it had no jurisdiction to try former Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and former Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban because they were political officeholders at the time. International human rights treaties to which Thailand is a party make clear that official status cannot justify immunity from legal responsibility for serious human rights violations.

However, the court found that Abhisit’s and Suthep’s decisions to authorize security forces to use live ammunition had led to the high number of casualties and that dispersal operations did not follow international standards on the use of lethal force. Prosecutors can appeal the criminal court’s ruling denying jurisdiction.

http://www.hrw.org/news/2014/08/29/thailand-court-ruling-furthers-impunity

That's not evidence of murder.

That depends upon whether the ROE's authorised by abhisit/suthep are deemed to be a proportionate response to the perceived threat. This would have come out during the court case. If the ruling was that the ROE's were not deemed a proportionate response the immunity provided by the Emergency Decree would be nullified and officials could/would be ruled as carrying out illegal acts. abhisit and suthep could then face murder charges.

Please, as you write about showing its true colours, could you remind us about the ones the AG has shown, and whether he served the one who put him in that place well, ...f.i. in accepting to present bogus charges?

Actually 137 people put him in that place, so your little theory is a bit stuffed, unless of course you think Thaksin had bought 137 members of the Senate, which no doubt will be the next excuse..............

BANGKOK, 10 Sep 2013, (NNT) - The Senate has unanimously selected Attapol Yaisawang as the new attorney-general.

The decision came during the senate meeting on Tuesday, which was chaired by House Speaker, Nikom Vairatchapanitch.

Chiang Mai Senator and Chairman of the Selecting Panel, Chuchai Lertpong-Adisorn, was tasked with the nominee's background scrutiny. Various factors included in the selection process were biography, past behaviors, and personal ethics. The information about the nominee has been released to the public.

Later in the day, the Senate held a closed meeting on the matter, and took around one hour to vote for the new attorney-general.

The result was unanimous. Mr. Attapol has been endorsed by the Senate with 137 senators backing him up, and only one senator declined to vote.

Tenses I think they call them. If you postulate what might have been in case of something which didn't happen now , you should try to be consistent and keep your prejudice at bay.

The court case was dropped by the Criminal Court as they ruled not to have the jurisdiction. They didn't judge or rule on the case itself, neither did they remark on the appropriateness of the ROE. As such anything else if just posting views on 'what if' even if you use the could/would. Especially the case with only "if .... would" suggests without even a slight backing of laws and somesuch.

So, Criminal Court drops the case. That may suggest Abhisit/Suthep cannot be charged for "premediated murder" again and with the DSI/AOG deciding on grouping cases into a single charge, that's it. Now of course 'we' need to find another way to charge the duo.

At least the blanket amnesty bill is no more, one worry less.

He no longer has a person in power to give him directions so he just shrugs it off. He was just doing what he was told to do. The next people that come to power he will willingly join them and do as they tell him to do. Right or wrong makes no difference to him. Just keep the money rolling in his main goal in life and he is not fussy about how he does it.

138 in Thaksins pocket closer to the truth, of course it would be.

Perhaps a little less spouting about red shirt propaganda and bit more research would make your posts, although not necessarily to the taste of the majority on here, at least more accurate.

Appointed senator Somchai Sawaengkarn said the voting patterns of appointed senators show that 60 of the 73 appointed senators are in the anti-government camp.

The remaining 13 are believed to be aligned with the government, Mr Somchai said.

I guess I should use smileys more often otherwise tongue-in-cheek comments are not understood.

For your information, my dear Fabs, the Senate has 150 senators with 74 appointed, 76 elected. Now if 137 Senators backed the election of k. Attapol ... ... ...

Mind you, more important are issues about the chaps performance. The case raised by k. Siripon being one of them. The DSI being able to 'convince' the OAG to group 'murders' and charge Abhisit/Suthep with "premeditated murder as private persons" another one. The Criminal Court seems to have (politely) slapped both DSI Tarit and OAG Attapol with the ruling of not having juridical say on the case.

[Arkady]

Wasn't Tarit on the CRES board himself? If the NACC takes up the case he initiated, he might be implicated himself. Then there are cases pending against CAPO relating to deaths of protestors. The serious issue of Thais killed on the streets by poorly trained and badly led riot control units ends up as a legal pantomime.

You seem to believe that repeating the same lies will make them true, as the memories fog over time, but in my memory the brutish violence of the red shirts remains clear.

Unlike your fantasies about Abhisit and Suthep.

All those videos showing the criminal fugitive inciting his minions and the old AG said couldn't prosecute him as he was out of the country when he committed the offences.

The financier, instigator, manipulator and controller of the insurrection should be held accountable - he had the most to gain, gained the most and lost nowt. And some of those who did his bidding are still rotting in jail despite 3 years of his government through his sister as it doesn't suit his agenda to release them.

You may well see them as fantasies, like the ones that promote Thaksin as honest,caring, man of the people - which he has proven he's not.

I don't think the topic is about Thaksin.It's about the alleged crimes of Abhisit and Suthep and the unlikelihood they will ever be held accountable for the murder of innocent civilians.Interesting that the relatives of the nurse that was murdered by the army have recently been arrested for seeking justice and accountability.Even the most bone headed quisling must wonder whether the Junta has its public relations finely tuned given this debacle.

starts with "alleged" and continues with the suggestion that they should be held accountable for murders. Almost as if you do not believe in their innocence, as if the charge of "premeditated murder as private citizens" can only be the correct charge.

Anyway, Tarit who was only the 'secretary' in the CRES and had absolutely no say in things shrugs off the court decision. I'm sure he'll be more than happy to cooperate with the NACC if necessary as also he wants to see 'justice' done.

Thaksin said they were guilty, and the red chorus chants "Yes they are, yes they are!" It seems that any attempt to refute using the law and logic is simply "boneheaded", and dare I say traitorous - but to whom? Shouldn't that be blasphemous, to the god of the ignorant and ill-informed?
