NAKHON PHANOM — Key witnesses failed to appear in court Monday at a hearing for a woman seeking to overturn her conviction for a crime she says she didn’t commit.
Neither the man who allegedly has confessed to the fatal hit-and-run for which Jomsup Saenmuangkot went to prison nor another witness appeared at the Nakhon Phanom Provincial Court, as police dispute she was wrongfully convicted.
Jomsup, who gained public sympathy in televised interviews about the case last week, was rescheduled to appear in court Feb. 8 with Sap Watree, the man she said confessed to the 2005 crime after being tracked down with help from the Department of Special Investigation.
He was one of two witnesses, along with Tassanee Hanpayak, expected in court this morning.
Jomsup was jailed in late 2013 after losing a long court battle. She was freed in 2015 on a royal pardon after spending a year and a half in jail. She’s now seeking a retrial of her case and compensation for wrongful imprisonment.
