Chonthicha Jangrew, a Pathum Thani MP-elect from the Move Forward Party who is accused of breaking the der guess law, has petitioned the Judicial Commission to launch an investigation into the criminal court prosecutor, alleging that the judge rushed the case against her.
After writing a letter on June 27 of last year that was deemed disrespectful to the king, she claimed she was accused of breaking Part 112 of the Criminal Code.
She claimed that because her attorney will be free to reflect her in court after being preoccupied with several other cases, she requested that the court hold a witness hearing in March of next year.
However, she claimed that a court official called her attorney in July of last year to inform him that the hearing would be rescheduled for two new dates — one this month and the other in August of this year— but that she insisted he would not be free.
Ms. Chonthicha claimed that she returned to the jury on Thursday to ask for the reading to be postponed. She was denied her request, but, by Atthakarn Fucharoen, a assistant chief justice of the Criminal Court who is on the case’s panel of judges.
She added that she didn’t bring her attorney to the hearing on Thursday when the jury heard the defendant’s see.
However, the Criminal Court decided that holding the testimony hearing in March of next year, as requested by Ms. Chonticha, would be a protracted, drawn-out approach, according to Sorawit Limparangsri, spokesman for the Judicial Commission.
It had been rescheduled for Thursday and Friday as a result, according to Mr. Sorawit.
It was discovered that Ms. Chonticha had two doctors appointed to represent her, despite the defendant’s claim that her attorney was not available on those times and her request for the reading to get postponed.
So, he said,” If one of her attorneys is not free, the other can also represent her in judge.”
