Judge Phan Vannarath of the Battambang provincial court issued a court decree releasing 3 generals and 7 other people from the accusation made against them for being a group of armed men and for receiving stolen goods. The 3 generals are: 48-year-old 2-star General Uth Sakhan, the former commander of Prince Ranariddh’s body guards unit, 46-year-old Brigadier General Khieng Savorn, a member of the SRP steering committee and who was in charge of joint RCAF intervention, and 49-year-old Brigadier General Men Saran, the Funcinpec commander of the army region 2. Judge Phan Vannarath said that his decision to drop the charges against the 10 men was because there was not enough proof to charge any of them. Koy Kan Ya, the prosecutor in the case, said that he does not agree with this decision, and that he will bring the case the appeal court because the decision is out of the ordinary.

This is not new. The judges there always say "there was not enough proof to charge any of them".
