Popular Post ffaarraanngg Posted October 31, 2014 Popular Post Posted October 31, 2014 Praise the lord for that I was worried for a moment an innocent man was going to be found guilty. Isn't it about time the Yorkshire Rippers father organised a real DNA test for him. 8
Popular Post Fred Flinstone Posted October 31, 2014 Popular Post Posted October 31, 2014 Its really such a pity this affair is done with such shady ways from day one- Few people are interested in this foreseen outcome - A nation where if your connected to ""high Places"" whispering boo is enough. This Kid looked eerily similar to the CCTV footage we saw on the night of the crime. We are told the boys father is connected to a certain person. (high up) So we initially witnessed NO DNA tests and other bypasses of diligent detective work as far as this suspect is concerned. Few of us expected a Positive finding today. Now the Thais will expect us to watch their Kangaroo court with a degree of confidence. As i said only the Junta fan club will be cheering as this Travesty of justice continues . 39
Popular Post Artisi Posted October 31, 2014 Popular Post Posted October 31, 2014 How does this DNA result clear him of murder, it might clear him of any sexual contact with the girl, certainly not clear him of any other involvement. What a useless and stupid headline / statement. 104
Popular Post siampolee Posted October 31, 2014 Popular Post Posted October 31, 2014 Must be worth contacting ''The Guinness Book of records'' so as to confirm the result as the fastest ever conclusive D.N.A. test ever completed but possibly creative in its result(s) 28

Popular Post Nakajima Posted October 31, 2014 Popular Post Posted October 31, 2014 if he was innocent he should have agreed to provide DNA since the beginning, now we are never going to know the truth anyway or be able to trust whatever anyone will swear, this bs is not worthy our time reading it.This goes to show that nothing has changed in Thailand, corruption is still at all times high even with army boy in charge. Pity those fools who believed it would be any better. 19

The police are so used to get away with anything in this country, that they consider everyone else stupid. But the buck stops here!! I have a Thai friend that once pressed charges against a "kamnam" for defamation, he had a 2 hours video as evidence. The judge dismissed the case in 30 minutes (evidence on paper: time between case got submitted to the judge and time of dismissal). So this good honest judge managed to defy time and watch a 2 hours video in just 30 minutes. 2
Popular Post slipperylobster Posted October 31, 2014 Popular Post Posted October 31, 2014 This would make a good movie. Especially if there was a surprise witness to refute the evidence in hand. Perhaps proceeds would go to an international fund to assist the families of victims. I would hate to see somebody capitalize on the tragedy, but public awareness should be the goal. 4

off road pat Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 the real problem will be with the initial DNA samples....how were they taken ?, were they taken by a real doctor that knows about DNA collection ? were they tempered with ? all the other DNA samples can be taken over and over again..... 1

Briggsy Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Now what is the next move in the case The next move is they have to find a judge who agrees to find the Burmese guilty. As with this farcical DNA show, the trial will be along the same lines, and with a similar predetermined outcome. 1
