Sakkasem Nisaiyok, spokesman of the Office of the Attorney-General, said yesterday Attorney-General Phairach Pornsomboonsiri decided last Friday to appeal against the acquittal. The six defendants were accused of changing the speed of a Ferrari driven by Mr Vorayuth after the hit-and-run resulted in the death of Pol Snr Sgt Maj Wichian Klanprasert. The changed speed led to the dismissal of the indictment for reckless driving.
