Committee put together to close loopholes in Yingluck case

[Fat Haggis]

Dear Uncle Rubl,

There are so many variables on the route this case will take, should have taken, that its looking more like it was one in haste with an urgency to convict, they stated so early on they had enough evidence to bring a case against the darling of Issan, but it seems now that the OAG siad that's not true, added to the NIDRI that also said, hold on there matey, our information isn't evidence, so they've been running around their offices like a kid being stung by a hundred wasps.

They should have kept their mouth shut, done their homework properly, presented a watertight case right from day one!! Now they may need to speak to more witnesses? Will they offer the "accused" the same privelege, or are they so hell bent on getting a conviction that they'll keep moving the goalposts until they do?
They already have the only ball to kick in the game, and they have more on their team too, and they still can't sort out their own findings??

Ineptitude? Complacent?

Is anyone really surprised that any government department, NGO, investigative unit, civil service department, here is inept, complacent, intent on passing the buck (usually even before they've picked it up), unwilling to risk loosing face, unwilling to risk upsetting any side - just in case as the future is so unpredictable.

This just doesn't work like the West in any way or shape. And neither does most of Asia for that matter. The chances of getting a professional job done, a trial according to the actual law, a verdict based on real evidence, and if convicted, punishment appropriate to the crime are about the same as any HiSo Thai Chinese ever actually serving a prison sentence. Look at all the cases over the few years, including murder and manslaughter that have simply been swept under the carpet and disappeared. Remember the actor who shot his mate in the face, lied, was caught on CCTV and changed his story - whatever happened to him for one? Red Bull boy killer, underage driver girl who killed a dozen in a crash, hiso who drove his benz at a bus stop and killed some because he had a bad day......

If these cases go no where, is anybody surprised the Yingluck cases will also go nowhere. No one is willing to break the cycle and accepted norms. And those that transgress no it.

PS - good to see you back Haggis.
