'Anna Reese' rejects Bt6.2mil settlement sought by dead cop’s family

[Don Mega]

I'm just a poor old pensioner,who knows how to spot liars. [emoji572]️

Should clean your glasses then as you are not real good at it.

We do not have enough information to judge or say how much should be paid

It would appear to me the amount being requested has been inflated because of the ladies status

Do the family get a police widows pension

Surely the amount payable is directly related to the guilt, on which we do not have all the facts and which we can not quantify, with the information we have

[Equalizer]

My take on this is ''screw the cop''. The amount of innocent foreign people these thieves have helped wipe out. Covering up murders, beatings, scams, property theft, land theft, highway robbery of people getting from A to B and much more. Karma is a bitch.

So you know for sure the cop who died was one of the bad ones do you?

Believe me there are some good police here. One I know has been subject to a couple of shit postings because he refused to take part in the usually ripoffs and pass money upstairs.

You make 10 deals, one goes great the other 9 lose you money. Overall it was a crap deal.

Yep. lets not forget who wears the childish one though.

Let's not forget that the Negotiator will want his 25% but Court proceeding could push this a lot higher. From a Foreigner's perspective this method of litigation between the Parities by the Police seems quite alien in a case of death.

[Ace of Pop]

And those who are so far up their own arse they have no funny side Strange for an Aussie. But let's just attack the Girl,and foreget the drunk cop who fell asleep. If it was a Ferang parked unlit on a hi way and the cop hit him. Ah well.

From anyone with a moral compass the whole thing is wrong. Victim and perpetrator putting a value on a human life.....

[alfredthegreat]

She should have been done for dangerous driving and all that goes with it. Not going to the temple and doing merit.

And NOT saying that the dead cop 'forgave her'. She needs a wake up call doing time. A classic case of money

will take care.

Exactly! i find the whole idea of a money grab over a death in a road accident both tasteless and immoral whether involving courts or negotiators,

The idea of police negotiating a cash grab for a cut is so wrong on every level, the lady was insured for more than the basic legal requirements and till now no charges... end of!

So life insurance is similarly lacking in human decency?

not at all. U get as much as you can afford.

In the UK for gross injury they have a state insurance board. In the normal world insurance would be paying out in the millions to compensate this family.

It's only because they have these wonderful caps to feather the pockets of the owners of the insurance companies (truly amaart), that this ghastly carrying on has to happen.

I Wonder how much the wife of the Chilean cyclist, Francisco Villa, attempting to set a World Record, got from the reckless driver that killed him ... ?

Oh, how stupid of me .. Killer was thai and victim foreigner so no bloodmoney to victims Family or meetings at the Police there ...

What?! Did the killer not got anything??

[Captor]

First of all, who´s fault was the accident?? What did the policeman do along the roadside? Were was his car standing exactly, on the road or beside the road. Maybe it is not her fault at all?

None of that matters. Even if the cop had parked himself in the middle of the road, the fact that she hit him means that she was driving too fast for the road conditions at the time. A parked car can never be the cause of a collision. Use your head.

Unless he is in a place marked as "no parking".

The fact that she is trying to settle suggests he was parked legally

Neither of these ridiculous statements is true. A "No Parking" sign means only that you are liable for a fine if you park there. It does not mean anyone can kill you with impunity. It does not mean if a careless driver collides with you, it is therefore your fault.

Whether he was parked legally or not has no bearing on the negotiations which concern the value of the life of the man she killed and her ability to pay. Negotiations in such a case are normal both in Thailand and the West, although they are conducted more discretely in the West.

If his car had broken down in the middle of the highway and she came along and hit him she would still be completely at fault because the driver has the obligation to drive in a way that is safe according to the conditions at the time. Obviously, she failed to do that.

From a legal perspective if he's in an area for no stopping/parking on road, it makes massive difference.

No one says she drove into him even recklessly. She hit a parked car. No accusation even of speeding. Just driving without due care and attention which can change if the car is parked in a place where stopping is not allowed.

Hence why, if you stop on a motorway but don't turn on your hazard lights or obscure the lights it all changes in legal terms. There are plenty of places you can't just pull up and park.

Completely ridiculous. You have made up your own, personal concept of liability and persuaded yourself that that is how the law works. Good luck with that approach to the world.

The fact that she hit his car means that she failed to exercise due caution whether or not she was speeding, whether or not she was drunk, whether or not he was parked legally. The difference between her hitting him and him hitting her seems to be lost on you.

And I don't know why the press always insist on calling her British-Thai.

Her father was a Cypriot who held a British passport. She grew up in Thailand with Thai relatives, the father having died. Where is the British bit? Answer : Nowhere.

Glad someone mentioned, this, if there was any 'British'' in her she would of conducted herself in a rightful manner..

not Pussyfooting around, with the usual ''Thai'' crap, ''Temples, and forgiveness and ghosts'' and all that drivel....

"if there was any 'British'' in her she would of conducted herself in a rightful manner.."

Colonial mentality, much? I didn't know that British uprightness travels in the genes, and didn't realise that the Brits are the saints among us.

I don´t agree with you. You mean if I park on the highway there will be no problem?

If the object has been left actually on the road in an unsafe position or in a way that contravenes the highway code then the owner of the vehicle or object may be found to be liable for the accident.

This seems like the more relevant part to quote

If the object was not clearly lit or made visible then the owner is responsible. This is usually in the case of parked cars or private skips.

Well, they are all relevant. Being told that a driver is always 100% at fault for hitting a stationery vehicle when it's patently not true is a little annoying.

Sometimes u can't park your car everywhere and expect drivers to safely not hit it. That's why they have no stopping signs and hazard lights.

Who knows precisely where the poor policeman's car was parked.

Highways are allways "no parking"... with or without sign!

The depth of the ignorance on display on TV is always impressive, but especially in this thread.

More words, more words more words....

This thread presents a cornucopia of ways to fail to understand the obvious.

But what does all that have to do with stringing the witch (with a capital B ) up???

She has upset the sensibilities of the TV hang 'em high brigade. Which transcends any law. Just ask these guys...

'Course, it would be different if it were them or a loved one on the gallows.

Exactly! What a hide they have to whinge.

When every time they ride around without a helmet they too are also complicit in the very thing they moan about.

Then take the farangs who come here and smoke pot, scream when they get busted but still get let off easy

Like the guy a few months ago who had elite card membership, let off on drugs with a slap on the paws.

not up to you guys to comment on other peoples predicaments when you yourself would manipulate the system in the same way if it were you or someone close.

Absolutely agree....but we wouldn't go harping to the media about ghosts and the like.

Whatever this woman does to get off the hook is fine behind closed doors, s*&t happens, but trying to convince the world she has paid her penance through Buddhism and manipulate superstitious ideology just insults anyone who would try to believe her.
