Schapelle Corby to appeal Jakarta court ruling
Australian drug trafficker Schapelle Corby will appeal the decison by the Supreme Court to reinstate a 20 year jail sentence.
Convicted in May of attempting to bring 4.2 kgs of ‘Mary Jane’ into Bali, Schapelle was given a 20 years sentence, which was reduced to 15 years on appeal. Indonesia has a lengthy appeals process, but for Schapelle it seems the process is going in the wrong direction. One wonders what forces are at work and what Schapelle’s next move will be.
The Bali expat scene is small enough so that people bump into each other once in a while. I see her sister around town here and there. Right now relatives of the Bali Nine are in town, though I don’t really know them, and I’m sure they won’t talk to me anyway.
Latest word is that a photo of Schapelle with a drug dealer, that reached the Jakarta court has not helped her case.

This whole Corby saga is the life story of a family of circus performers..
They should have just shot her in the beginning and given us all a break…
Schapelle is marketing a new herbal treatment to help cover legal costs. It’s guaranteed to take 20 years off your life.
Schapelle should have used the new Corbolock for her boogie board–it comes with a 20 year warranty.
Corby’s family has put up a sign outside of her trailer park: BACK IN 20.
some of you guys who made comments here are sicko’s.. If it was one of your family wouldn’t you speak out about an injustice? Well maybe you guys would be to gutless nd just sit back and watch you family be throw to the dogs and critisise everyone on the net using a different name. I know how much my family love me and I bet they would be doing the same for me if I was in a bad situation.
Ho…Hmm yawn
Poor Corby and Mercedes thought they would get rich quick smuggling some hemp into Bali.
Make enough to set the family up with a cute little villa on the beach in paradise
Well the little plan backfired and now the cry baby is locked up in the Kerobokan Hilton…
Desperate people say desperate things and manufacture fairy tales to escape justice…
Whilst screaming innocence, all the Corby’s have done is ensure the girl is a long term resident of Bali and shown the world what an immature nation Australia is.
All drug smugglers deserve what they get.
why is this still news?
Very cruel most of you - the girl is innocent and you rub salt into her wound. ‘Indonesian justice’ - the ultimate oxymoron.
Innocent? Ummm have you read a newspaper recently? She was found G-U-I-L-T-Y, and guilty she is.
are you certain she is innocent?
All of these judgemental comments, and cruel statements make me sick. These are the reasons many other nations dislike Americans so much. You are so close minded. “The courts found her guilty, so thats that.” Maybe you should do a little investigating before you start talking about “guilt” and “shotting people.” I am an American Veteran, and have lived in Australia for a decent ammount of time, and this is a huge issue there. So is the corrupt bag handling issues that the airports there face. There have been so many cases of airport security employees and drug ring cases there, this is hardly a case of Schapelle Corby being guilty of drug trafficing. Maybe you should look into all of these things before your judgemental minds are so quick to convict.
I din’t think she was convicted by ‘us’
she should just dig a hole in her cell and escape
What Corby is learning about the Indonesian legal system is that if she appeals a decision, the judges have the power to INCREASE her sentence. If she keeps this going with this strategy, who knows where she’ll end up….
