Almog makes a good point about mercy and forgiveness.
Was this accident 100% the fault of the driver. Perhaps, perhaps not - we will never know.
However, the fact remains that there are laws about dangerous driving, manslaughter etc. I do not have enough knowledge about Thai laws and. like many, put a Western perspective on punishment being relative to the crime.
If the Thai rule of law is that imprisonment follows conviction for any offence committed in this case, then so be it. I suspect that money (and other factors) will ensure that, in this case, the boy does not see the inside of a prison cell. It is not my position to make judgement on that.
Yes Ray I'm all for a bit of mercy and forgiveness and would even go as far as to stay this was a grave accident ( initially ).But the facts are the owner of the car lied about the car being stolen and the driver driving 10k making a few phone calls,locking up the car with 1/2 the girls body inside and getting a cab home.
If the owner and driver get away without being punished this can only prove to the people of Thailand that there is not such thing a justice.!!!
( as if they don't know this already
