A Thammasat University Vice-Rector asserts that new evidence, including alleged illicit drug use and the car's speed, could justify reopening the hit-and-run case against Red Bull heir Vorayuth Yoovidhya.
The professor appealed to automotive experts to verify the car's speed and forensic experts to confirm drug influence, noting the statute of limitations for drug-related offenses has not expired.
Despite public prosecutors dropping all charges, a former attorney-general acknowledged the possibility of reopening the case, emphasizing that the judicial system can be compromised by abuse of discretion.
