As the Supreme Court verdict reading was postponed to November 20, the lawyer said the primary court had found Nat and two subordinates guilty, but the Appeals Court couldn’t reach a consensus so prosecutors pushed the case forward to the Supreme Court last April. “If the final verdict found Nat and two defendants guilty, it would positively affect the couple’s civil lawsuit against the Royal Thai Police (RTP) in demand for Bt14.3 million compensation,” Chayutpong said. The RTP had promised that if Nat and subordinates were ultimately found guilty, the agency would pay the requested compensation in full. “So my clients are waiting for the final verdict in hope. We want the final verdict to be out soon so we can get the compensation money to repay debts and rebuild our family,” she said.
