Maybe the police didn't measure the skid marks,the ones made by the tyres and the others made by the police mans body.

in order to make use of skid marks to determine anything the driver needs to have been making a meaningful attempt to stop.

 

As for what the police did (or rather didn't do) on that night, they should have pursued and arrested him that night but they didn't, he was allowed to run and evade justice, as for charges - wreckless driving causing death - DUI - speeding - leaving the scene of an accident, later I believe an arrest warrant was issued but he fled the country, he also tried to say someone else was driving the car at the time - the list of crimes is huge and not forgetting that a police man lost his life.

Maybe there was not enough evidence of speeding. We're there any speed traps? Was there any radar equipment on the road where the alleged speeding took place? We're there any expert witnesses that could testify that the car was speeding?

Maybe there was just no solid evidence to proceed with the charge.

 

 

guys are quite good at judging speed by the amount of damage done to a car or the object it struck. anyway whats a speeding charge? nothing compared to vehicular manslaughter. family paid off so he was punished in a small way and that should be case closed by doing it the thai way. this is not the army versus the cops. sure we are going to see a lot more of it in the future. the good general needs to make himself the boss of the cops. didnt ying luck try that? probably worked better for he as she was on the same team.

Of course, and I agree that its highly likely that this case has been handled with deliberate negligence and will continue to embarrass Thailand's legal system.

 

Which is why the prosecution (and 'Graft Busters') need to be concentrating on something with a far better chance of conviction...  rather than saying 'if it was a rice farmer' - which isn't really a particularly sound basis for a legal argument. 

 

 

 

 

 

There is the very recent case of a drunk driver hitting a police checkpoint in the Don Meuang area and killing an officer.

 

Let's see how that case progresses and compare it to the progress made in the red bull boy case. 

 

The simple lack of competent policing in this case beggars belief which suggests maybe more. As usual a very very rich and influential family and justice is not even near the top of the agenda.

 

Has any attempt been made to extradite the boy? No of course not. And they'll claim they can't as he's never been to court to actually accept the charges because they let him do a runner after he previously tried to pervert the course of justice claiming the butler was driving. 

 

Load of cobblers - designed to protect the rich elite and enrich those charged with seeing justice is done.

I can tell you the answer that question; corruption. Also, incompetence at every level and zero empathy. 

you have every right to an opinion but what would be relevant is what the MPB has to say in this matter. now that the matter is being followed up there should be some sort of explanation coming forthwith.

other related charges will  come up. investigation must be begin somewhere at least.

Sorry but do you know this case? 

 

He is also charged with causing death by reckless driving with a 15 year statute. Plus leaving the scene,  8 year statute. 

 

They know where he is! 

 

Go get him.

it has <deleted!> to do with speeding, this idiot killed a policeman he hit him from behind and continued to drive while this poor man was dragged for a considerable distance under the car, he then had a look and fled the scene, if this had happened in the west he would be in jail, it is quite honestly a disgrace but I am not going to blame the current administration as they were not involved at the time, this bull statute of limitation needs to be abolished, if Prayuth wants to enact article 44 with some meaning then now is the time but I doubt he has the balls................but still he is not to blame for this

 

That's not true sir.

 

Within 5 minutes they found another person who claimed he was the driver....why i don't hear about him anymore? He's guilty as well for corruption.

First Stop

Let's have a look under Pol Maj Gen' Kris's bed as he would not be stupid enough to bank it, would he?

 

Nice point.

 

But I'm guessing that the immoral folks who engage in taking money in bribes, various forms of corruption, involvement in money laundering and more (in some cases involving hundreds of millions of Baht and other currencies) know many different ways and methods to transfer / hold / secure ill gotten funds.

 

And in most cases methods which are 'underground' and outside of the normal banking processes, in whatever country.

 

In fact my guess is this activity is an industry unto itself.

The NoBrainer title is well suited.

What need is there for speed camera's , the idiot crashed into the back of the police bike and then dragged him down the road  for 200 metre or so then ran-off home and got the family driver to put his hand up for the accident - now that's a real No Brainer..

What about the solid evidence of :

1) the damage to the front end of his Ferrari. 

 2) the damage to the police motorbike. 

3) The damage to the policeman's body that he dragged under the car. 

4) An admission by the criminal Red Bull heir that he indeed hit the policeman while he, the policeman, was riding his motorcycle.

All these questions you ask are NoBrainers as the evidence is there. The only thing missing is the punk that caused all the damage.

You forgot to add no brains for NoBrainer.
