Convicted drug trafficker Schapelle Corby has been photographed with an Australian drug dealer. Police in S. Australia found the photos at the home of a man in the center of a hydroponic marijuana smuggling gang. I guess we’ve found her dealer.
Australian friends of mine here in Bali have told me stories of how they personally have seen photos of Schapelle hanging out with guys smoking joints. That and this recent find does not mean she is guilty of the crime she was convicted of, but it does add another nail to her coffin.
Getting back to her case for a moment, people often say that the crime she is accused of doesn’t make sense. Why would someone smuggle marijuana into Bali, when it is available here? The answer is the stuff here is probably low quality, most of the good stuff comes from Sumatra. Rich foreingers do not want to buy from locals, they much prefer a trusted expat friend. In Australia most of the MJ is grown down south and shipped up north, not the other way around. So its not plausable that she accidentally had a shipment heading the other way put in her luggage.
My feeling is Schapelle was justly convicted, but unjustly sentenced. Hopefully there is a way out for her.

well you could be right, but normally you should now this stuff about your friends. And if she didn’t know, and her ‘friend’ set her up like this…well nice friend.
I know somebody who uses pot. oh dear!
nice to see some more info. coming out - I thought she was guilty from day one but seems most of the “vocal” Aussies have been swearing she was 100% innocent..
THis should give them cause to think on that one - at least to the fact that maybe she is now only 95% innocent.. to them …lol
It gives me a nice warm feeling in my left foot to see this come out (maybe I should go to the toilet and stop pissin down my own leg but I can’t leave my computer….lol).
Let this media flood and love affair with this pretty young fool stop now - please!? THey are doing no good for her case nor are they seeming at all belivable (as if they actually belive the news was unbiased before…)
GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY
Just a last point - I am in fact Australian although some may deny it to keep their own case clear…
oh and I avoid plastic bags too when offered to me (as much as I avoid old girlfriends - a joke I use but it does get a little laugh sometimes…)
maybe I was a bit severe in what I said in my previous post but I guess I am so sick of the pro corby posts that I was a little more verbose than I woudl normally be (well…)
posts like:
I am australian and she is 100% innocent
boycott bali corby is innocent
why would anyone take that pot to bali - it is worthless leaf
innocent
not guilty
release her she aint guilty
…………………………….
oh please why defend someone who is so obviously guilty and stupid to boot…
why is everyone assuming the worsed on a story that has no subtance and no proff? The police can not say that the photo’s do infact exist and the reporter did not name his sorse of the infomation and no photo has been seen by anyone. Federal police also say they did not tell any reporters that the photo’s do exist. This is a case of a beat up story and possible hearsay that could damage Corby’s case.
To Nick,
You say that Rich forigners want to buy pot from only a trusted expat friend. Corby was not a expat of Bali and was only comming on a 2 week holiday. She hadn’t been to bali for 4 years prior. How could she be a trusted expat drug dealer. Think about it!
you fools know nothing of the facts. Her sister did not live in Bali. Her and her family were on holidays when corby arrived. They took holidays from work in australia and their kids went to school in australia……They are staying in Bali now to look after Schapelle.
I am a Corby supporter and I am not saying that the photo’s do not exist but no one knows if they do and the reporters sure don’t. Until the police release the alledged photo or say that it does exist how is it that everyone assumes that these hearsay photo’s show that corby is somehow involved with this arrested man?
You say you hate corby but you don’t even know her.
well, i guess nothing is for sure in this world. So I say, lets not bother and let justice do its work. But you got to tell me one thing though. How the hell do you put 4kilo’s of grass unnoticed in someone elses bag? So she had to have left her luggage at some point (eg when going to the toilet). So who is so (can’t use the word stupid, nor retarded)absent minded, that even when back to the luggage, not feeling the difference between your handbag of 4kg or 8kg… or suitcase of 15kg or 19kg…
I applaud you, Tony! Great comments and I totally agree with you. Lets hope that the judges will get the photos and send her to prison for life. She should also be sent to another prison in Java or Sumatra, where conditions is far worse than in Kerobokan. After all the lies, she deserves nothing! Get her out of Bali and lets forget all about her!
The reporters may say her sister Mercedes lives in Bali now but she didn’t before Corby’s arrest. That is a fact! Every one who has followed this case knows it.
baker,
Oh yes she did, she lived in Bali for quite sometime & the girl is 100% guilty! No doubt about that one!!!
i am not going to fight with you guys on this one. but she didn’t live in bali. Mercedes and her husband moved to australia in 1998 both their children were born in australia they both worked in australia. This is FACT. They were in holiday in Bali when Schapelle was arrested.
OK lets just say she is guilty. 4kilos of pot is not really that much. With no previous convictions you might not even get a custodial sentence in the uk. She is 28 and if guilty made a very, very foolish mistake. She hasn’t murdered anyone, its not heroine, it dosent kill people. Every day people smoke it everyday. Does she really deserve to have her whole life distroyed over it. Ifact i would be surprised if she lasts a 20 year sentence therefore they may as well just kill her. Over what, a bit of pot! Come on lets get real!!!! The stuff is legal is some parts of Europe and is socially accepted in most, does she really need to pay for this crime with her life? OK she probably knew the risk and the penalties involved but who knows what she was thinking at the time. We shouldn’t be so quick to judge. And lets just say she is innocent, well it doesn’t bear thinking about.
Was thinking about what just said and acutally yeah you would get a custodial sentence I was thinking just possession not importing. But hey, wouldn’t be anywhere near that long. Thats what murderes get!!!
Hello to all on Baliblog,
The photo’s were taken inside Kerobokan by Schapelle’s mothers partner. Schapelle did not know these two men, they were two of many Australians who visited her there earlier in her incarceration.
Mercedes and her family were not living in Bali at the time of her arrest. Wayan did not own a surf shop in Bali. They were living on the Gold Coast.
The other photo’s, supposedly of Schapelle with friends smoking joints were actually taken at a party around christmas 2001. The photo’s show a packet of Tally-ho (rollie papers) on a coffee table. They do not show schapelle or anyone else smoking joints. many People in Australia smoke hand rolled cigerettes as they are cheaper than the tailor made variety.
Hope this clears up any misconceptions.
Cheers,
angel.
When people talk about what is fair I think that fairness has nothing to do with this. Shappelle should have known what the penalties could have been. She made the choice to smuggle drugs for a quick profit and lost. I live in Canada and it is not fair that tax evasion will land you in the big house longer then if you are driving drunk and kill someone. Even in western countries we have laws that are clearly not fair. Yesterday an admitted drunk driver had her sentencing delayed until after the holidays so she could spend time with her family. Her victim is dead. Fair NO
Thanks for clarifying the facts, Angel. Schapelle needs more supporters like you to weed out the rumour and innuendo.
To those who take delight in Schapelle’s situation I want to point out that the man who posed for a photo with Schapelle in prison, has told the press that they had not met before the photo was taken. He visited her only to offer his support. The allegations against him have not yet been dealt with by the court.
I urge everyone who has a sense of fairness to visit http://www.freeschapelle.net and click on the Flyer link to acquaint yourselves with the facts about the mishandled evidence in Schapelle’s case.
We don’t really know how the drugs got into her luggage, but why did the police refuse repeated demands from the defence lawyers to test the drugs for their origin? There were two plastic bags, one inside the other. Why did police refuse to fingerprint the inner bag?
Regards, Sergio.
Thanks for your post, Angel.
Schapelle needs more supporters like you to weed out the hateful rumour and innuendo from the facts.
For the benefit of those who have not already heard, the alleged drug dealer posing with Schapelle in those photos told the Adelaide Advertiser yesterday that he had not met Schapelle before the photo was taken and his only reason for meeting her was to show his support. Schapelle has been cleared.
To Nick I say: You have lived in Bali since 2003 but you are apparently unaware of the vast plantations of marijuana grown elsewhere in Indonesia – most notably Aceh, but also in North Sumatra. There was an article in the Jakarta Post on 9 January which you might find interesting: Police lost in a haze over marijuana plantation. As for your theory that marijuana in Bali “is probably low quality”, I think you are using the unfounded claims of other people who, like yourself, are desperate to protect their Bali livelihoods at any cost. I think your casual condemnation of Schapelle Corby is prompted by self-interest and does nothing to make this world a better place, Bali included.
To Albert and “Corby Guilty” I say: Your posts are so filled with hatred! Why is it so important to you that she be crushed?
To Andreas: Schapelle checked in her luggage at Brisbane airport around dawn and did not see it again until she arrived in Bali many hours later. Your notions about it being unlikely that anyone would leave their luggage unattended is simply not relevant to the case. And it was her brother James who carried the bag at Denpasar airport – not Schapelle. These facts were widely reported by the media and acknowledged by the judges in their final verdict.
I urge all fair-minded people to visit http://www.freeschapelle.net and click on the Flyer link to obtain a clear summary of the way evidence was mishandled, denied or lost. These facts were once widely reported by the media and should never be forgotten.
Why did the police refuse repeated demands from defence lawyers to test the drugs for their origin?
There were two plastic bags, one inside the other. Why did the police refuse repeated demands to fingerprint the inner bag?
Schapelle was denied access to this vital evidence which made it impossible for her to mount a successful defence.
There were also many breaches of procedure which were ignored by the District Court and High Court. I refer to the Indonesian codes of criminal procedure known by the acronym of KUHAP. If you are interested in learning about these breaches, I urge you to visit http://www.freeschapelle.net , click on the Latest News link and then read the entry: Schapelle Update 07 Nov 2005.

Free Schapelle – Innocent Without A Doubt
Sergio, Mercedes, or whatever your real name is, I am well aware that a lot of marijuana comes from north Sumatra. I visited the jail in Kerobokan and its full of guys from there.
As far as being desperate to protect my livelihood, I can do that already, so no worries.
As far as Schapelle Corby being innocent, all the Aussie expats and Aussie media I talked to personally, told me she was guilty and gave anectdotes on why.
I think its sad to see a young woman in her position, and she is definitely not the worst person in the world. However, she did some things to put herself where she is right now. Namely hauling 4kgs of Mary J through customs.
Still debating Corby? She’s guilty as a matter of law, fercrissakes. Let it go!
Come on, the whole family are involved in drugs. She thought her looks would get her through and she was wrong. Are you telling my she didn’t relise the bulge in her bag before she put it on the table. Let her rot where she is, her sister, brother inlaw and brother should be locked up with her.
The whole family are shifty.
Leave me and my family alone..!
You do the crime, you do the time, white trash. Don’t let the time do you.
Do we really have to listen to this Corby Crap for the next 20 years
A bullet would have been much less painless for all of us
Thankyou Mr Tansil,when i get out i come put bullet in your Dubur!
Dear Schapple.
How does one pronounce that. Shapple, Scapple, Sapple…
Oh who cares anyway,
Back to your dreams… Getting Out.
Somehow I dont think its gonna happen in the immediate future, better use the bullet you,re saving for me to put yourself out of your misery darlink, .
But I guess your’e getting used to the first class service they provide there at the Kerobokan Hilton… A regular home away from home…All the moddern comforts and the neighbors… to die for
Sweet dreams old lady…
you guys should all read her book, i just did and it is absolutely wrong in all aspects what has happened to her! she has been so wrongly convicted ant treated like crap! she is smart enough to know that putting that pot in her boogie board bag would get her caught, she would not be so bloody stupid. i hope something is done soon cause that poor girl does not deserve this. my love and respect goes out to her and her family…. stay strong guys! I dont know if i could if i was in her situation! you rock shappelle xoxoxoxoxo
Eddie you are a loser, leave her alone she has gone thru enuf. take that bullet and use it on yourself cuz sure enuf someone else will anyway with an attitude like that!
Shar
I have a great book you should read, written by a Mr A Hitler, where he states that he is inocent of any crimes and that he was wrongly acussed of any wrong doings. You would probably believe that as well. Did you think that she was going to write a book admitting everything.
Ahem
I think yer loser is the one thats banged up in the Alt. Hilton.
Some people (Shar) are SO THICK they cant tell their Ass from their elbow.
Good luck with that
I don’t think Eddie need worry too much about the threat of a bullet for his dubur. By the time she is released most of us will have died of old age anyway.
cmon guys its common sense, all the real facts add up to her innosence. people just dont want her to be innocent! everyone just wants to think the worst. she was set up and thats all there is to it, if the bali police actually did there job properly they would have found that out. the truth will come out, you’ll see.
This proves nothing, just because you are photographed with someone doesn’t mean you are with them. Take for instance all the children photographed with the clown John Wayne Gayce, does that make them homosexual serial murders too? This is very flimsy at best and at worst just an attempt by the government of Australia to further punished the Corbys for having said a few unflattering remarks about their own government. I don’t think we should leap before all the facts come in, it would be extremely foolish on both parts.
