Justice?! Schapelle Corby

[MD]

1. She's way too cute and sexy to rot in a smelly jail
2. Only Shapelle knows if she is truly guilty or not. We are in no place to judge her. Which only leaves judging her on looks. And there I'm swayed by her blue eyes and boobs - lots of swaying there.
3. What sways me to feel for her plight though is, why would anyone, clever or stupid, or a drug smuggler, bother taking dope into Bali? There's just no motive. Next is the fact that her Lawyers ASKED the Police to finger print the bag and they REFUSED! Refused the most common and simpliest evidence test of the last century? That begs the question why refuse? Which in turn suggests they had already carried out this standard test, found none of her prints so refused to provide evidence that weakened their prosecution case. This stinks more than a Bali courthouse to me.
Putting all this aside 20 years in prison for dope. A drug slightly higher up the food chain from whisky is far too harsh for the crime.
I travelled SE Asia as a 20 something twice and indulged in lots of burning of local dried plants. I didn't see myself as a crim then and still don't. We knew the penalties for smuggling were tough and only had enough for our personal use (lovely term that) and never travelled with any (trains/planes stuff). Even then I came very close to doing time in a Thai jail. Try being woken up, have drunk, half stoned, some naked bird beside you and 8 soldiers pointing machine guns at you. Had a barrel about 3 inches from my eye as the Cop/soldier cocked it. Now that was a wake up call. Had to have a few smokes after that to calm the nerves. If they objected why was it for sale on every corner. We came across restaurants that had 'thai sticks 20 baht' printed into the menu.
Personally I think the 8 months she'd done is punishment enough. Comments above about she should have felt the bag heavier and should have locked it are rubbish. I remember a flight from India where all the bags & mine came off the carousel rummaged through, half open, stuff missing - was that the passengers fault and responsibility to never take their eyes of the luggage- not possible.
Anyway if she gets out soon I look forward to the Playboy issue she will no doubt get asked to do.

Hmm, add 20 years on in a shithole jail and I'm not so sure...

[mikey]

im goign to be lame an quote myself from other free schalep corbs thread.

wong!!!!!!!!!!! I MEAN wtrong!!!!!!!!!!! I MEAN WRONG........... GOT IT AT LAST, SHOULDN BE DRIBNKING THIS EARLY IN THE MORNING.

AS PUAL SAID THERE WAS A ARTICLE IN PAPER

it said its a fucking good business ijmporting pot into bali, she was just stupid how she did it (if she did or not thats not the point) its a fucking good business

WHY...................

firstly,

there is fuck loads of shit horse pot in bali, what was in shcalpel or whoevers bag was hydroponically growen wqith some huge buds, not the shit the natives grow,

secondly,

westerners have growen wary off buying pot oiff natives as it could be a cop (an its pretty shit stuff as previously mentioned) they pay as much if not more than what we pay here for good hydroponically growen pot, from westerners as there is less chance of it beinga copper in disguise or should i say a copper on duty

thirdyl;

i dont no another reason

NOTE READ FIRST NOT LAST [IF YOUR MEMORY IS AS GOOD AS MINE]

when i say westerners i mean white p[eople just doesnt sound as racist

Bahahaha you fullas thought she was innocent

Never for one moment.

[What?]

Bahahaha you fullas thought she was innocent

Well,
a/ She may be straight-up guilty, or
b/ She may have been used as a blind mule (but you would think most people would be able to detect that their bag was quite a bit heavier than it was when they got on the plane!), or
c/ She may have been set up by her associates (as a way of getting rid of her??)
Whatever, you can't hang a person on the grounds of what their associates have done. otherwise we would all get speeding tickets on the grounds that we must be guilty through knowing someone who has exceeded the speed limits.

guilty as finn with the beastiality act.

[jrandom]

They'd waste 50 grand worth of product on 'setting her up'?

Tui moment!

This is why drug-related offenses almost anywhere in the world are for 'possession', not ownership.

You have the stuff in your possession, you're guilty.

Every cop since time immemorial has heard the "but this is my cousin's jacket" line. Or the "this isn't my car" line. Or any other variation on the general "I don't know how that got there".

If one does not wish to risk being found in possession of contraband, one shouldn't associate with those in the business of supplying it. It stretches belief beyond credibility to think that Ms Corby had no idea that her associates were attempting to move their product to Indonesia, and that they somehow got to her bags after she'd packed them and sneaked in a shitload of cannabis before she got in the airport taxi.

She's a drug mule, end of story. 20 years is harsh, but... life's a bitch.

No legally you can't. But in your example most of us would actually be guilty wouldnt we......

[Tank]

The difference is that Corby says that she didnt do it. Finn actually tells people how much fun it is.

[vifferman]

The difference is that Corby says that she didnt do it.

Well, according to my fantastic powers of statistical inference, that makes her guilty, as almost every prisoner in the world sings that same song.

[Pussy]

I heard that some bastard put a body board in her marijuana bag.....

Nope. It all proves is that dopers had access her baggage.

I don't know if she is guilty or innocent but what I saw on TV of her was a very confused young lady. I suspect that the only reason she was found guilty was she could not find the bribe money to be found innocent.

I'm surprised the womans magazines have not taken up her 'plight' as they did with mother who claimed her baby was taken by a dingo. Don't recall her name.

Corby's half-brother, James Kisina, 20, was convicted last year of stealing drugs during a home invasion.
