But we can hardly expect such a dignified act from Thai ministers or prime ministers including unelected ones. So what's wrong with using the judicial process and the criminal law? "Intention" is also cited in the Supreme Court's ruling in August in a criminal case on the state's fatal dispersal of yellow-shirt People's Alliance for Democracy protesters in 2008. Such reasoning is similar to what judge Pisol outlined in the Yingluck case. I only hope that our rule of law and the justice process will not go down the same path.
