Old n frail play sympathy card

 

[hotamp]

next time should come in a stretcher for max exposure

 

[Can Or Not]

Mental pressure + their old age means cannot tahan already.

Cannot tahan simi? Cannot tahan their truth being exposed lor...

Critics might believe it’s to fake an image of weakness and fragility, but no, the truth is why walk when you can have someone push you around in a chair?

They‘re rich, remember?

 

[AlmightyOnes]

That’s a sharp observation and quite a common pattern in high-profile cases. Here’s why you often see it:

1. Health reasons (real or claimed)
   • Some tycoons are genuinely old, sick, or stressed by investigations. Court cases can take years, and their health may really decline.
   • Wheelchair or hospital admission is sometimes legitimate.
2. Legal strategy / sympathy factor
   • Appearing frail in court can make judges and the public view them more sympathetically.
   • Lawyers sometimes highlight their client’s “poor health” to argue for lighter sentences, bail, or house arrest instead of jail.
3. Delay tactics
   • If the accused is declared medically unfit, trials can be postponed. A wheelchair or medical certificate can be part of that play.
4. Optics & image
   • Walking into court looking powerful and healthy = bad optics (“still enjoying life after cheating so much money”).
   • Appearing weak/frail = looks more like “already suffering,” even before sentencing.

In short, sometimes it’s real health issues, sometimes it’s tactical acting, and often a mix of both.
