The Michelle Leslie case: Business as usual in Bali

As if the Schapelle Corby trial wasn't enough of a soap opera, with talk of big money flying all over the place and Schapelle's lawyer, Hotman openly saying he gets results in the backroom rather than in court, the Michelle Leslie case promises to be Mini Me.

Her original lawyer says he quit because he was asked to do things outside of the law. The family says otherwise. But wait a minute, the plot thickens! A Sydney Morning Herald article talks about a taped phone call to an Australian Government official by a man claiming to be connected with the Bali police. The man claimed he could return a negative lab result for the amphetamine tablets Michelle was arrested with, for a lot of money. Fancy that, I've never heard anything like that before!

General Made Pastika, chief of Bali police, who incidentally seems like an okay bloke, now has the awkward task of dealing with this guy. Its unfortunate on all sides. Michelle's boyfriend is filthy rich, the caller obviously wanted to make a profit and the cops don't need any more bad press. Oh well we're just warming up and it will be interesting what other developments reveal themselves. I have a sneaking suspicion that Michelle is Schapelle's long lost sister.

Some say that Ms Corby got 20 years because the Judge was mad with Mr Hotman, her lawyer. Mr Hotman brought in a convicted rapist from OZ jail as a defense witness. This loony convict told the judge that he heard from another inmate who heard some one claiming to be the real owner of the drug that was in Ms Corby’s bag. The Judge probably felt that he was being taken for an idiot by Mr Hotman.

i think the one who brought in the aussie rapist is Lily Lubis, the sacked lawyer.

‘Schapelle I’ could be a movie all by itself, but with continual new stars appearing I think we’d have to make ‘Bali Court - Justice in Paradise’ a soap.

It might just work… if you can combine biquinis with Muslim, surfing with court scenes, and jail time with some hot times, you might just get yourself a huge success.
You already have a caching title, so go and sell it to David Hasselhoff!

What if Michelle had taken the pills before getting into the club…then got arrested, or made to do a urine test…it turns up positive and she claims someone spiked her drinks? humm…

Conga, they wont arrest you if test is positive, only if you also have drugs…anyway who cares…she a mixed breed, and now claims to have lived with a muslim family for 4 years. Yeah right…when Actually she lives with her boyfriend in Sydney - its called a DEFACTO relationship, as they are not married. Verdict on this case…she is a LIAR, Liar, liar.

If they make a movie… or day time soap I wanna see the episode where Leslie goes to jail and Corby punches her out for being so stupid and wrecking her chances of a second appeal. Stupid dumb white trash model!

Pity the cynical cow is only looking at fifteen years - I’d pay good money to see her swing.

Alright, its ANZAC day in the grey bar motel in Kerobokan. Schapelle, the Bali Nine, Amrozi, Samudra, Michelle Leslie and randon bakso bandits are all hanging out wondering how to celebrate.

Who would do what? I reckon Samudra would make a mean satay vendor, fanning away like a madman, while a trio of the Bali Nine belted out a rendition of Waltzing Matilda.

How would this ANZAC day in the lock up turn out?

Ha Ha Ha Nick….how about some jobs for the girls…Michelle leads the dawn memorial service, as apparently she is the most experienced in religious guidance and later Corby could utilize her part beauty degree by doing Aussie Flag face painting!

Candy Cane, very creative, like it!

I think that crazy Amrozi would take the limbo contest easy. He looks like a natural.

Renae wins the arm wrestling, breaking 3 other prisoners arms in the process.

Two of the Bali Nine mules make it to the final of the 2-up contest, but the bakso vendor who is keeping the score somehow ends up with all the money.

As the sun goes down on another memorable ANZAC day in the slammer, the lights dim and a special guest is annouced! Its Hotman, straight from the judges’s chambers. After warming up with one of Barry White’s hits, the Hotster cruises through ‘My Way’ like a knife through melting butter. What a finale!!!!

HOWARD,

Wowww, you are really pissed!!!

While the story of Leslie is a sad one, but why are you condemning the entire people because of the actions of the few?

What have people like Jevon, Ika, Awang, Pale, and other Balinese done to you to deserve your wrath?

You are really one fucked up person !
