Delay Tactic In Bangkok Teenager, Orachorn “Praewa” Thephasadin na Ayudhya, Court Case
There was an article in The Nation today, about the teenage girl (Orachorn “Praewa” Thephasadin na Ayudhya) that allegedly caused an accident in Bangkok last December resulting in nine deaths. Her new tactic is typically Thai.
Orachorn “Praewa” Thephasadin na Ayudhya Bangkok Accident
Miss Orachorn “Praewa” Thephasadin na Ayudhya has appealed for “justice” and wants the court to look into the possibility that the van driver drove recklessly and is a contributing factor to the accident.
So typical. Don’t accept responsibility. Try and deflect and put the blame on the victim(s).
It doesn’t matter that all of this was captured on Closed Circuit TV cameras on the highway. It doesn’t matter that she hit the van from the rear (which in the US is always the car in the rear’s fault). It doesn’t matter that Orachorn “Praewa” Thephasadin na Ayudhya has already said that she was guilty.
It doesn’t matter that this girl has shown no remorse. It only matters that her family comes from the Bangkok Elite and has big money. This is all just a ploy to minimize the amount of money that mommy and daddy will have to pay to the victims trying to shift some of the blame to the van driver so that the van company will have to kick in some baht.
Another tactic to delay the final outcome.
Here in Thailand this is also very typical. The longer things get delayed, the shorter memories become. People tend to forget things or just not care what happens about something months or years ago.
Miss Orachorn “Praewa” Thephasadin na Ayudhya has been free to do whatever she wants since the accident in December.
The unusual thing here is that it is the Prosecuting Attorney that has delayed this because of the “accused” requesting a probe into the actions of the van driver. Shouldn’t this come on during the trial? Isn’t that what evidence, testimony, and cross examination is all about. Why the delay?
The prosecutor will ask police investigators for their opinion before deciding to take the case forward.
This is ridiculous. Ask the police for their opinion before going forward to prosecute?
The prosecutor should already have his case built with plenty of evidence. The defense attorney can try to cast a shadow of doubt and point fingers at the van driver DURING the trial.
Maybe it is because Orachorn “Praewa” Thephasadin na Ayudhya’s mommy and daddy need more time to raise money to pay off compensate the victims.
Almost three months now, and justice has not been served. Still no mention of charging Orachorn “Praewa” Thephasadin na Ayudhya as an adult. No charges of manslaughter – just the lesser charges of reckless driving, being an underage driver with no license, and causing an accident that resulted in death and injury.
I am waiting for all charges to mysteriously be dropped against Orachorn “Praewa” Thephasadin na Ayudhya.
