Court Postpones Witness Examination in MP Kamolsak Shooting Case
The court has rescheduled the witness examination for the shooting case involving MP Kamolsak to September 18, following the absence of legal counsel for three defendants.
According to a report by Matichon Online on August 4, 2026, the court has officially ordered a postponement of the witness examination phase in the criminal case concerning the shooting of MP Kamolsak. The delay was necessitated by the fact that three of the defendants currently lack legal representation. As a result, the court has set a new date for the proceedings to resume on September 18, 2026.
For residents and travelers in Thailand, this development highlights the ongoing judicial process surrounding a high-profile case involving a political figure. While such legal proceedings are standard within the Thai justice system, they serve as a reminder of the complexities involved in criminal trials of this nature. The postponement ensures that the defendants' rights to counsel are upheld before the court proceeds with the examination of evidence and witnesses.
At this stage, it remains to be confirmed how the court will proceed if the defendants are unable to secure legal counsel by the new date, or if further delays will be requested. Observers and those following the case should look for updates following the September hearing to understand the next steps in the judicial timeline.
