Bossmin-Bossam Case: Defendants Exercise Right to Testify in Absentia

Bangkok: The court heard testimony in the Bossmin-Bossam case, reiterating that their intention was merely to be presenters. Bossmin's lawyer revealed that the defendants, along with Boss Sam, are exercising their right to call witnesses in absentia, meaning neither of them needs to appear in court. He reiterated that their intention was merely to be presenters and expressed no concern despite the consolidation of cases and the addition of more serious charges against Boss Paul and Boss Gun.

According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Thanakorn Waekwaree, the lawyer, confirmed that Min-Pechaya Wattanamontri, as the defendant, has consistently stated that she only served as a presenter for The Icon company for a little over a year, even to the point where the prosecutor ordered a dismissal of the case. However, the Attorney General's decision to indict, in criminal cases, will only consider the evidence presented by the accused; other factors will not be taken into account.

Regarding Min-Pechaya's legal battle, where she has consistently maintained that her intention was merely to be a presenter, the lawyer stated that the facts cannot be changed. Only evidence needs to be presented to the court to prove her behavior from the past to the present. Everything is unchangeable; the court must exercise its discretion in considering the case. For today's hearing, the defendant requested the right to have the proceedings conducted in absentia, as this is permissible.

Min-Pechaya is currently not stressed and is living a normal life. She has been consulting with her lawyers regularly regarding the legal strategy. At this point, the case is in the witness examination phase, and the defense is waiting for the process to conclude. She also sends her regards to the media, expressing love and concern for everyone. She has asked her lawyer to convey her message to the media, stating her desire to return to work in the entertainment industry.

When asked about Sam's case, the lawyer revealed that the legal team had discussed with Sam-Yuranan Pamornmontri's legal team regarding the defense strategy, as both individuals have been granted bail and will be using a method of presenting evidence in absentia. Sam-Yuranan did not appear in court today, although he delegated his legal team to attend. Regarding the details of Sam-Yuranan's case, Min-Pichaya's lawyers are not involved.
