Yingluck guilty of naivete but real criminals overlooked

I am optimistic that the court will rule in her favour, and not the opposite. 
If a Thai prime minister has to be held responsible for the corruption in his or her government under dereliction of duty charges, then a majority of those who’ve served could not be spared, taking into account that Thailand was in the bottom half of the list of the least corrupt countries in the world.
Khun Yingluck was elected to office in August 2011 and removed from office in May 2014 by an unexpected Constitution Court decision, a year and three months short of the four-year term for a prime minister. Her government’s rice-pledging scheme was an ongoing project. How could she be derelict her duty when she was off-duty?
Those who should be held legally responsible for any irregularities and corruption were the ministers or officials directly in charge of or handling the project, and not the prime minister.
However, Khun Yingluck should realise by now that it is easy to roll out populist policies to win an election, but the consequences could be painful, as she is now experiencing prior to the court decision.
