The Schapelle Corby drugs trial: Not the only case in the Bali news

G’Day Nick,

8 Aussie nationals arrsted trying to smuggle 10 kg of Heroin. How stupid can you be knowing that you are in a country that delivers the death penalty for such offences.

This group were caught red-handed with the goodies. How dumb is dumb!.

Yeah I agree they were stupid and greedy but nobody deserves to be killed for that. Interesting in a poll I was just watching online at NineMSN here in Aus. Most supporting the death penalty for convicted drug trafficers. But also flicked through the earlier polls and most saying that they did not trust judges to bring in correct verdict and another poll : most thought Corby had been set up. Thus they are prepared to see her killed for something they believe was a set-up handed down by judges they don’t trust.

G’day Nick:

It is very sad to see that such young lifes are to be wasted but criminals are to be punished..
they have taken a gamble and lost the bet and they will receive a very harsh punishement.
Unfortunately middle man(mules) are always the casualties.
The problem should be addressed on a different level. killing these poor souls will never stop big deallers from distroying society…
May the truth and justice prevail for the best of all.

Corby is clearly innocent. If she was the smuggler, she would have been relieved for the life sentence instead of the firing squad. Guilty consciences don’t regard themselves worthy of anything. They are thankful for all “mercy”
She is innocent.
No-one would import drugs into Bali anyway. They’d be importing them into Sydney

I don’t understand the decision to jail Corby!!!??? We’ve given Indonesia so much lately … how many millions in Tsunami relief? And now when we try to give them some more drugs, they slam us down!!???

Corby was only trying to be nice and do her bit for the grief-stricken community!

With the amount of corruption in that place, at least she’ll get to smoke her own stash in jail!!!

“No-one would import drugs into Bali anyway. They’d be importing them into Sydney”

unfortunately that doesn’t explain the quantity of weed found in her bodybag.

very sad to watch such a young girl in such a terrible state. hopefully the australian govt can do something more for her.

Shame about Bali.Tourism just recovering. Won’t be for long though. Shapell Corby’s trail seems to draging out with the court system seeming to fail any type of rationality. She is just another lamb to the slaughter like the other 88 young Aussies that died in the bombing. Many of us with be staying away. I certainly don’t have any desire to go back after seeing this desperate inocent girl rot in a stinking Bali jail. My cat stayed in a shelter that had better standards.

Innocent or guilty - all these drug smugglers.

Some probably innocent, some undoubtedly guilty.

How can that crime be worse than the deliberate bombing and killing of 200 people, many more permanently and seriously maimed for life.

Perhaps the fact that approx 88 of them were Auzzies was the extenuating circumstances that enabled the Indonesian courts to view the matter as trivial (certainly compared to drug smuggling.)

Wake up - when are we all going to realise they love to (figurately speaking sometimes) put a bullet into us. They do not like us and they probably never will - they will take everything we are stupid enough to give them, but still spit at us for it.

Stop going there. There are much better people in this world to visit.

“Hard to say if she is innocent or not but trafficking drugs into Bali is something that happens quite often”

Of course she’s innocent dumbass — smuggling drugs into bali does NOT happen. Especially not weed. Smuggling drugs OUT of bali perhaps, but not into it. Geez get your facts right.

I just don’t get it???
When was it decided that jail should be a holiday resort? It shouldn’t it’s jail, the conditions should be POOR, because the person there is charged with criminal activity. Let the system deal with it & maybe it will teach others not to follow in these foot steps!?

As for boycotting, no way!!!

I am an American businessman who has done much business with Bali furniture suppliers.

I, for one, will never again spend another dollar in that godforsaken spiritual wasteland.

Why are you Aussies not marching in the streets over this incredible injustice? In my 58 years of life I have never heard a story of such tragic proportions.

Get out of your houses and visit your politicians, people! For the love of Christ, do something very loud and very relentless!!

I’m single, wealthy, travel a lot but have never bothered with visiting Bali. Now I will avoid it AT ALL COSTS!!!!!! Because of the treatment of Schapelle Corby.
What sort of Police department refuses to fingerprint evidence to prove it’s connected with the accused. A CORRUPT ONE!!!
Never go there, never buy products made there and if you?re already there, GET OUT ASAP, before you get accused of something you didn?t do.

I hope the Australian Government thinks long and hard before signing any more cheques to Indonesia.
?Give ?em a dollar and tell ?em to piss off and look after themselves.?

Hey TraceyD…wonder if you’d be that high and mighty if it were you who had been set up?? Easy for you to crow that jails aren’t meant to be holiday resorts when you are not the one sitting there- watching your life disappear before your eyes for a crime you didn’t committ!!!

it is intresting to see how the court appearance is unfolding it has change many ways many times i can not wait to here the verdict

our family will not visit Indonesia unless Schapelle Corby is found innocent

Lorraine,

Will you fly from Australian airports ever again? Its likely if she is innocent she was set up by someone working in one.

Indonesia has done nothing wrong. They caught someone carrying drugs.

nick is correct- if anyone should be answering questions, it is the austrailian airport. and yet most of you idiots are blaming the balinese govt. why?

admit it: you are all defending this girl because she is young and pretty. if she was an ugly old guy with the same story, you wouldnt bat and eye and `newly minted criminal expert` russell crow wouldnt be making dramatic statements, talking about how her tears broke his heart.

take a look at nicks original blog entry. it includes the phrase, `These guys are obviously trying to make money out of the party scene`. obviously, eh? how does he know? why arent they given the benefit of the doubt like young and beautiful schappelle?

you aussies are like sheep. you *want* her to be innocent because the media likes to take her picture. and there is absolutely no way that a young and beautiful girl could be a drug smuggler, right? haha- so stupid.

but please boycott bali- the beaches need fewer crowds. and dont forget to boycott the airports!

It’s very funny to see the way you reacted to this Corby’s case, especially her supporters.

First, they blamed the Indonesian authority and government. Second, they yelled to their government to stop aids to Indonesia anymore. Third, they planned to boycott Bali.

Have you asked Australian government yourself? What did they do so far to rescue Corby anyway?

If one said the stuff was put after Corby check-in for Bali, why didn’t Australian government checked the person who put it to Corby’s bag? Check the airports, check the staffs, the security officers…perhaps some of them have connections into Australian gang of drug dealers. I believe one who put the stuff in her bag was really a coward!!! He was the one to blame.

I’ve heard the security-check in Australian airports are really tight and strict. But this case told me another thing.

Australia and Indonesia, both of them have not a good relationship…we all know that. But, in my opinion that’s OK if both cut off the relationship. Indonesia could live without Australia. Yeah, I am not a fan of Australia though I have sympathy for this (indeed) pretty girl, Corby.

G’day.

Hi Nick,

I am totally saddened by what is happening with the case. Sometimes I just wonder why do people really support the death penalty. Its just against human rights! I mean, who are we mortals to hang or shoot someone for their crimes? It just makes me sick! Someone who murders and bombs sometimes gets life and another who is just trying to make many people happy, gets hanged. No justice. Lose lose situation.

The MOST important point… why are the Bali Bombers so glorified in Indonesia and being given pathetic token sentences and then all of a sudden they have to hand out all the justice to Corby?

They don’t care about our innocent Australian friends being killed en masse by terrorists in fact, they glorify it, yet they have viullified a girl who they can’t even prove is guilty.

HYPOCRITES!!!!!!

BOYCOTT INDONESIA FOREVER AND ALL INDONESIAN PRODUCTS!!!!!!!!!!!

I am gonna go to bali soon, yipeee!!!

For gods sake let Schapelle out, anybody can see she’s innocent? I for one will never go back to Bali, i asked anyone who thinks she’s innocent to boycott Bali. John cowward should get of his fat lazy excuse of an ass and do something, before its to late for Schapelle?

Im from Sweden and I heard of Schapelle’s case.

You can’t blame the indonesian gov. They only caught someone with drugs. If this was happened in Malaysia, Thailand or Singapore same thing will happened and she also will get the dealth penalty. Im AGAINST the death penalty but to boycott Indonesia i think it would not be fair for the people of Indonesia. Yes Indonesia could survive without Australia as Europe are now more investing in Indonesia and more European tourists are visiting Bali. I think you should blame your own government and the airport staff of Australia.

But as I said Im really against the death penalty!!

Im going to Bali tomorrow with all my friends, we are with 50people…HOORAY!!!!

BALI here we come!!!

WE LOVE INDONESIA!

i think she deserves what she gets…if court says she is guilty.. then she is.. but if the court were to say otherwise, then fine by me… anyway so wats d big deal spending time over there….

what proof has she got to say the ganja is not hers? By her words? tsk..tsk..tsk….
Maannn…. those pple cant even point out who set her up… evidence is with her.. her lawyers cant even prove that her bag has been tampered with.. its not the justice system… its all base on proof facts and evidence and they all go together..

By attracting the media she wants help from Australia.. and now if she stop acting and admit ,everyone here will know she’s a liar, fucked up slut and all dat..so i guess she cant stop here now can she?
what i know is that anyone would do anything to get out of the mess… been there… done that…

Shapelle Corby is innocent. There are so much proof!

I’ve watched the court case and seen the evidence. I’d say she is guilty.

If it was an Indonesian girl in Sydney she’d be convicted on the same evidence.

And guess what - no Australians would protest.

Visit Bali - it’s safe. But just bring your bodyboard not the dope

Steve

They have on right to kill her
all the indonesion did was cough some one with drugs

we should all bleam the australian airline, how did they let he go with the drugs!!!!!!
it’s just ont fair

STOP KILLING EACH OTHER PEOPLE
ON ONE DESERVES TO BE KILLED BECUSE OF DRUGS
LET HER GO AND I AM SURE SHE WILL NEVER DO TI, THAT IF SHE DID IT THIS TIME

What a shocker for Shapelle Corby. Her sister lives in Bali, she knows that there is the dealth penalty. She is under 30 why would she try and ruin her life at this stage over 4kg of marijuana.
Yes if it was 20 kg or so but you can buy dope cheaper in Bali than on the Gold Coast.
Get with it you idiots, she is innocent

i currently researching this case as part of my yr 12 studies and the amount of people that believe she is innocent is amazing but how come the indonesia government doesnt see this. i heard from some sources that they are only keeping her over there for money. that really upsets me.

I believe that she is innocent. Because she was forced to do it, i mean come on. What if she goes there for her family or a visit, she will never do such thing. I don’t care what other people say or think about her, but i still believe that she shouldn’t be in jail that long than other people that tells her to do it. She only does it just to protect her family, i will do the same as her. So yeah… Please you shouldn’t judge anyone when you don’t know them.

Dear Haley, just because a lot of people believe it does not necessarily make it right nor does it make her innocent. I’m not sure whether or not you have studied this subject, but during the second world war, almost everyone in Germany believed in Hitler and followed his command. Yet, we know how wrong Hitler was.

I’m not saying that Schapelle is definitely guilty, I’m merely saying that just because she has a lot of supporters means she isn’t. That is why the court does not (and should not) care about public opinion, and relies on evidence and witnesses instead. In this case the court has a very strong evidence, which is the substance in her bag. The court can’t just set her free unless Schapelle’s lawyer can come up with another solid evidence proving her innocence.

Haley, as an Indonesian that knows the system, I can assure you that the Balinese court is trying this in the fairest way they can. I know that officials in Indonesian court system are sometimes corrupt, but for this time being, they most certainly are not, because the highest people in the Indonesian government are watching them closely.

I’m not going to worry about whether or not you believe Schapelle is innocent. However, I want you to remember one thing: looks can be deceiving. If there is only one thing that you remember from my message, I want you to remember that people have the capacity to lie for their own gain.

Don’t believe anyone solely because he looks and acts nice. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t believe anyone, I’m saying that physical appearance and demeanor often has little or nothing to do with trustworthiness. If you remember this, you will avoid a lot of trouble and heart-break later in your life. Take this from a person who has to learn it by experiencing it first. Not fun.

Schapelle is a nice looking lady with a nice demeanor, but those characteristics by themselves do not make her innocent, nor guilty.

Good luck with your studies.

okokok….I sometimes DON’t get what the whole debate is.

1st Point- The drug trafficers were CAUGHT IN INDONESIA. NOT australia, INDONESIA.International law regulates that if one person is caught doing an inter-country offence, i.e drug trafficing, the people who cauhgt these guys, no matter what nationality or exceptons, are trialed in the country caught. End of story.

2nd point - Death penalty
Why is everyone screaming, “she’s innocent!” or “Death penalty is too harsh”but lets just take a look back.

it was 10 kg…well, a bit more..that schapelle corbi carried into Indonesia, INNOCENT OR NOT. We can clearly see that in the end, it was in her bag, right?

They say that 10kg of drugs shouldn’t be the death penalty, but hang on….10kg? Things are out of scale. Where 100g of Marijuana can cause an overdose and result in DEATH, 10 kg can kill at least 10 deaths, Australians are crying out the death penalty is too much. Put things into perspective, people!!!

3rd Point - Schappelle’s innocence.
Ozzies nationwide say that Schappelle is innocent. However, they have absolutely NO EVIDENCE to back them up. Just their gut-feeling. Now is it really fair, when the Indonesian system is being debated upon beacuse their system is different to ours (guilty unless proven innocent) and Ozzies protesting that Schappelle is innocent with a gut feeling?
Surely not! The Indonesian system HAS WORKED and there is no evidence to say that it is failing, it is doing its job, which is to keep the Indonesian people safe.

4th Point - Trafficers should not be penalised

COME ON! Whether or not the person being caught is the trafficer, the supplier or the dealer, the almost only thing which is certain is that they are bringing Drugs into people’s lives. Trafficers are asked DIRECTLY BY THE DEALERS to take a “package” from one place to another. WHether the person decides to take the drugs with them is their choice. IN Schappelle’s case, the CLEAR THING IS THAT SCHAPPELLE HAS THE DRUGS! She is part of the ring ANYWAY! There is no saying that she is completely innocent.

OK, some of the stuff I said, is probably bias, purely because I am a person who watches the news and is influenced by the media. I’m sure there’s more to it than this, but come on Australia, TRUST the Indonesians! If a 14 yr old can work it out, why can’t John Howard??!

Thanks for the time guys

Satomi.

1. It wasn’t 10 kg. It was 4.1 kg.
..and..
2. 100g of Marijuana cannot kill you. There is no
evidence to suggest that it can and there has never been a recorded fatality related to the direct use of marijuana.

Anyway, FUCK YOU ALL. I read all the posts above mine and agreed with a few, the rest just FUCKING PISSED ME OFF!

Lets break it down:

Girl + Bag
4.1 kg of Marijuana

Get it?

Why is she innocent? She had a bag, filled with drugs! She had a bag, filled with drugs! She had a bag filled with drugs! Why would you say she is innocent? If she wasn’t the young beauty student she is I’m sure all you retards would think otherwise. Actually you dumbasses wouldn’t give a shit. You wouldn’t even be talking about it. I really cannot see why people think she’s innocent. She had a bag, filled with drugs! BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAHHH I CANNOT EVEN EXPRESS IN WRITING MY HATE FOR YOUR IGNORANCE. Losers

Why would anyone want to visit that country. Who protects you from the Police.

Lol satomi, dont try and talk about this case, or marijuana, when your clearly know nothing about it.

I saw that in a recent television poll in Oz, 92% of callers thought that corby was innocent. LOLZ good job aussie media, way to convince a country without any evidence. I dont think this represents the country’s view though, just the idiotic sort of ppl that would watch a show called “Schappelles Nightmare” and think that it would be fair and unbiased.

I heard that when corby arrived in Bali, she picked up he bodyboard bag, and then authorities approached her and asked her to show them the inside of it. She opened the wrong pocket, showed them the inside of the wrong section, then claimed that there was nothing inside the bag. Dont you think she would know there was something in the bag when it was 4.1kg heavier? Dont you think she mightve opened the proper section to show police, feeling the strange bulk inside? Sounds pretty guilty to me.

And ron bakir just charitably wasting his money on her seems a little suspicious to me. I know I have nothing to base it on, but I always felt like he was involved.

After all of that though, I think the death penalty is disgusting. This case hilights the fact perfectly. I wonder how many innocent people have died at the hands of their government…..

and lol @ satomi saying trust the indonesians. Im sure most aussies trust the indonesian PEOPLE, but timor and dili are still reasonably fresh in most people minds, which makes it incredibly hard to beleive the good faith and support of human rights by the Indonesian GOVERNMENT.

poll with lindy chamberlan majority of aus said she was guilty . Media with biased stories . Is a balinese hindu of gusti class, with the religious beliefs( including karma )that all balinese are renowned, for more likely to lie or a person of western influence with main religion like catholic saying it is ok as long as you confess your sins to god ( not the courts)

I am an American businessman who has travelled to Bali for 15 years and moved here last year. My staff, employees, and friends, both western and Balinese are concerned about Schapelle but public opinion should not decide the outcome of her trial, nor should political pressure be applied to change the outcome.

It seems tragically ironic that the fate of those responsible for the Bali bombing should still be undecided and that Schapelle could face the death penalty. However everyone should realize that countries such as Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand have very strict and direct laws concerning drugs.

Each countries drug laws, and their punishment, is widely available on the internet, in brochures and in travel information.
All of the airlines make announcements concerning this before they land in any of these countries.

To even consider bringing drugs here or other Asian countries is certainly a death wish and foolish in the extreme.

The idea that Australians should ‘punish’ Indonesia and the people of Bali is as absurd as Indonesian boycotting Australia in retalliation for those Australians who have sodomized Balinese boys.

Doing business here has taught me that dealing with the Government can be time consuming and frustrating but also fair and equitable. Each culture and its judicial system has its flaws, its sentences may seem harsh and injust to those outside, but we all must honor the sovereignty of each country and if we choose to visit those countries respect and obey their laws.

Whether Schapelle is guilty or not should not affect how people view Indonesia or Bali.

The greater irony is that with all the publicity concerning her trial that something like the Bali 9 could even be possible. Unfortunately it seems there are those who value a risky monetary gain over their own life and freedom.

Randall

Schapelle is guilty the Media need to tell the whole . story not just parts of it

Shes innocent. Why? First of all, why on earth would anyone want to smuggle mary jane into indo? The stuffs worth stacks more here. The only reason u would do this is if Indo was a middle point.

Secondly, Shappel had checked her bodyboard bag in wihtout any dramas whatsoever. It was not until the bag had reached Bali until the pot was discovered. Not to mention when it was originally found, the bag wasn’t zipped up! Who in their right mind would be naive enough to not only merely conceal marijuana in a plastic bag inside a bodyboard bag, but to not even zip it up. Seriously come on!

Thirdly, the polic system is corrupt and frankly rediculous. Her innocence could have been proved almost straight away if police had been willing to take check for any fingerprints found on the bag. Sure, she could have used gloves, though if the bag was checked for fingerprints and someone elses were found, wouldnt this have put her in a much better position.

Finally, the indonesian government is loving all the attention her case is bringing to Indo. In fact, people have been paying to visit the poor chick! They’re just dragging it out for as long as they can for the good of their economy, despite knowing that there’s more chance of her being innocent than guilty. Shes suffered enough already. Let her out of her hell!

Randall: strict drug laws or not, how would you like it if YOU were stitched up by drug smugglers? The Corby case perfectly demonstrates the huge risks of travel to Asian countries: if we are unlucky we could end up on death row. How can an individual traveler prevent their bags being tampered with? In the Corby case, the drug package was not even fingerprinted as so many ‘experts’ had touched it!! And there is no point in smuggling dope into Bali in the first place; it has far higher street value in Aus. Please remember: as drugs laws are so strict, that gives a huge incentive to unscrupulous parties to snare and then blackmail unsuspecting tourists.

Such cases happen way too often in Bali. I’m french and one of our nationals is jailed in the same jail Shappelle is since December 26, 1999. His sad story is told on http://www.michael-blanc.com

Personally I think that she is innocent but that she will be found guilty and sentenced to AT LEAST life in prison. Personally, I’ld prefer ANY kind of death to life in Prison in this Jail !

The only thing you can do to save her now is to hit Bali where it hurts : At it’s touristic industry. Simply boycott that destination ! There are lotsa nice places and awesome beaches all around Australia, or in some other neighboring countries (think about Polynesia, Samoa, Tonga…)
Let’s see for how long they’ll keep her locked up if their touristic industry gets doomed by a massive australian boycott (remember : Aussies are - by far - the biggest “consumers” of Bali trips).

Kany23,

I think you will find Japan & then I believe it is Korea that are the boggest tourist numbers annually in Bali!
They al;so spend alot more than Aussies…..

We will not boycott!

When will us Aussie’s realize our country is all we need.Indonesions dont like us they like our money.If we have any backbone at all we will no longer contribute to there economy little lone there government. Stay in AUS be proud of your yard your people and your laws. Its to late for ms Corby and her family to close of to this barbaric place the serpant is very tricky the place maybe pretty but it has only taken a light bite at Schappel and as any decent human can see that was to much. I will never feel for Indonesia unless they feel for Australia it is only fair after all isn’t that what Australian’s are about I supose there just aint many actuall Aussie’s left.Yet it does’nt matter to-todays world because all this action only means money for the economy whats a life worth in 2005.

Randell of the U.S you are dead right I often wonder why us Aussie,s only protest when there is nothing really important going on actually it seems only to get a pay rise or a fair go. I hope there is a large movement against our government because I know as well as all you do that if it where one of our government members doughters she would be at home now, and there may even be a tax added to pay for her flight.Well GOVERNMENT we are your children and we are pissed of and you need a shake.

Two things
which piss me of are druggies and rock spiders. They both have one thing in
common they screw up innocent lives. Schappelle Corby is guilty or not i dont care. She got caught with kilos of hooch. Sprung like a
chook so she didn’t lock her bag she screwed up and got caught. if she is guilty let her rot in gaol and i hope the prosecuters win their appeal and she gets life. The indonesions found her guilty and was not swayed by the media. Now let the appeal process begin.If guilty she should do her time there not in some group therapy resort on the gold coast.
I recall we had corporal punishment in our gaols until the sixties maybe they should reconsider returning to the cat o nine tails or the whip. Not
many people who get a flogging reoffend. My opinion has upset the do gooders fuckem. If they lost there kid to a rock spider or druggie would they invite them around for group therapy and a cuppa. one thing I love
about a lot of the Asian countries they know how to look after scum. So
there is a little corruption we have it at home but they deal with the slime
in the proper way, death or let them rot in gaol.
i will sleep tonight knowing there is an importer of drugs doing time in an indonesian gaol. the only problem is the rats and cockroaches have to put up with some vermin

Shappelle’s ‘looks’ have nothing to do with the reasons why I think she is innocent. There are plenty of other factors which go towards her innocence and the feeling that Indonesia choosing to flex its legal muscle over her case is a farce. I have not referenced what I have written but I am positive you will find supporting information for what I am saying.

Many of you have already noted that taking marijuana from Australia to Indonesia is an idea that makes no economic sense. Drugs are widely available in Indo and sell below their aussie value.

For a country with such harsh drug penalties you would think it would have a harsh drug policy. Unfortunately, the policy they do have does not extend to their own people.

The Indonesian government is corrupt (in so many ways).

As someone has already commented, the local authorities are involved in selling of drugs to tourists, including actual sales and offering drugs so as to ‘trap’ people.

The people responsible for the bali bombing and the deaths of many tourists have been given light sentences. (Some weren’t even found guilty!)

Indonesia would suffer economic loss if boycotted by Australians. The Australian government gives a lot of money to Indonesia.

The circumstantial evidence that has been used against Shappelle is weak. Apart from the drugs actually being in her partially unzipped bag there is not enough evidence to prove her guilt beyond reasonable doubt. She actually walked through the declaration zone instead of going straight through with no declaration and the drugs were in a clear plastic bag(!): obviously the acts of a drug trafficker. The weight of her bag is mysteriously missing and many staff and experts decided to touch the bag and the drugs without any of them thinking it would be a good idea to fingerprint it. If anything, there should be a mistrial because of insubstantial and tampered with evidence.

And to all those who say if an indonesian was caught in Australia with drugs they would go to jail: yes they would go to jail, after they had a fair trial, and if in that trial there was sufficient evidence to convict them. Someone would not be convicted in australia based on the evidence against Shappelle. And the other thing to note is that lots of people bring drugs to Australia because Australians pay such high prices for them.

The number one reason I would recommend boycotting Indonesia would be for safety reasons. Indonesia is a place where terrorist groups are recognised, the government is corrupt and tourists are targets.

I think I feel the same as a lot of other Australians: simply we are outraged by Indonesia dishing out harsh justice to Shapelle which is based on dodgey evidence, while known terrorists have literally gotten away with murder.

Judge Linton Sirat( who is trying the Schapelle Corby case) would have to be the most cold hardened monster to ever sit behind the bench,he isn,t interested in the fact that Shapelle Corby could be innocent,which we all know is the case,she showed us she is innocent.
The judges don,t care because they are ignorant,including judge Linton Sirait who I have found out has no experience as a judge,in fact he was once in prison himself,the fact that he has never aquitted any drug smuggler,even the innocent accused shows what a two faced monster he is,if this case were to take place in Australia,Shapelle Corby would have been found innocent.
The bali court and the indonesian justice system is the most corrupt system in the world,the police, the customs at the Bali airport and the Judges are all corrupt,they take bribes and kickbacks ,they also use crimes to finance their lifestyles,this case is unfair,it is nothing more than a kangaroo court,I would never visit bali,Bali is a joke.
Boycott Bali at all costs,or you could end up in jail for something you have not done.

Free Shapelle Corby,she needs all the support you can give her.

I am disgusted by the verdict today and I am now also disgusted that finally the government has decided to assist by offering two QC’s for the appeal. If Schapelle had a better legal team it may have made all the difference.

Just because Schapelle has been found guilty in Indonesia does not mean that Australian Police should not be doing anything about this at home. The fact that there is a good chance that it was put in her bag, they should be doing their own investigations in Australia. If we cannot get Schapelle out then at least we may stop this from happening to someone else.

Not only should we be boycotting Indonesia for travel, clothing and any other products, how about the Airline that she flew on as well? Thats where all the trouble started in the first place.

I understand Indonesia has their own laws but there are also things that should be taken into account and proper way things should be done. And its only a bit of pot its not like it cocaine or speed.

I keep thinking “It could have been me”.

Perhaps if Schapelle had been involved in the killing of so many she could have gotten off with just a couple of years like Bashir. I believe in protest - no travel, no aid, no relationships. Whether guilty or not if you cannot keep it fair and relative then you do not deserve us as friends. Get the real drug and murder monsters, or will this reduce the take!

It was worth the effort by Schapelle as the pot over there is crap quality anyway!
It’s bizarre why so many people are behind her because “Why would someone smuggle pot into Bali?”
….because of the crap quality over there thats why!!!.
Her old man is a pot head…so is the brother…
It happens all the time…let keep it simple here people…there is no conspiracy…just blown out of proportion media hype.
All you supporters are clowns!

I cannot believe how absolutely blind-stupid Australians seem to be on this issue. Try to see it from this point of view guys, try to put yourselves in the perspective of the drug traffickers. Do you:

a) transport the drugs yourself
b) use a willing mule that you can meet up with
c) blindly choose joe public and hope that you’ll be able to find them after they get off the plane?

On another note, the “story” is that the drugs were going to go from Queensland to Maryland. That’s her story right? Ok, again, put yourselves in the position of the drug traffickers. Transporting drugs in your country, do you:

a) transport the drugs between cities using a dingo
b) transport the drugs between cities using international airplanes
c) transport the drugs between cities using a bloody automobile so as to avoid any loss of money from siezed drugs.

I think Aussies need to take a step back, look at the facts and realize that her story is bogus. If you disagree with that country’s policy on drug trafficking, then go spend 52 Aussie dollars surfin’ waves in Thailand. Seriously, dummy up.

I do not know if Schapelle is guilty or innocent.
The Bali 9 are clearly guilty and I agree they should be subject to the laws of Indonesia.
However, the case surrounding Schapelle does not conclusive prove either way that she was aware of the drugs or that they were planted in her luggage. Either scenario is possible. There is “reasonable doubt” and therefore a verdict is really not possible. I believe that Australia has a duty of care to its citizens to ensure we are treated fairly and that Australians fully understand the implications of travelling to certain countries. Why are Australian customs not weighing and recording all baggage leaving the country? I have no intention of travelling to Bali, but the next time I travel I will be requesting at check-in that the weight of my bags are recorded and I note of this provided to me. At the very least, record it myself and make sure that I have other travellers as witness to this.
I have heard a story that a Victorian couple arrived in Bali some time ago, only to find a drug parcel in their luggage when they arrived at their hotel. They immediately reported it to the consulate.
Schapelle may be guilty, but then again, she may be innocent. At the end of the day can we really honestly say that the security of our luggage in transit is full-proof? If we can’t, then it is possible that drugs were planted in Schapelle’s luggage and therefore a verdict cannot be passed. We truly cannot pass judgement on a person based on their looks, demeanor, emotional fragility etc. For those that are old enough, let us not forget the Lindy Chamberlain case!

I don’t live in Indonesia or Australia. I feel pity for Ms. Corby. I’ve followed some media reports and there does appear to be enough doubt that she placed the marijuana in the board bag and doubt that she even knew it was there. Alas, it is not my legal system, nor my country’s laws.

I do find it troubling that no one fingerprinted the drug bags, and question why the defense did not do. It should be done for the appeal.

I do hope all world travelers realize that when you leave the comfort, safety, and security of your homeport, you leave behind your previously assumed rights. Maybe Australians, and other nationals, need to find paradise in their own backyards and not go searching for it in such primitive lands where people are executed for possession of marijuana.

The world can be a scary place sometimes.

Pray and send good thoughts. Schapelle doesn’t need sarcasm and ridicule.

Does anyone have an address for her to receive letters? Is there a web site that is for information or to help in her appeal/defense?

Judge Linton Sirat.
Sir you are a true legend. Well done in dealing with drug importers. I am glad you are not swayed by the overseas media.
I wish to meet you one day (not in your court as a prisoner) and congratulate you for standing up for your country.
I am an Australian and I am ashamed of what this vermin has tried to do to your beautiful country.

A kilo of cannabis wholesale costs $100us a kilo in Indonesia.
A kilo of cannabis wholesale costs $3050us a kilo in Australia. Refer http://www.unodc.org/pdf/WDR_2004/Chap5_cannabis.pdf

Why would you want to import 4 kg of cannabis from Australia to Indonsia when it costs you $12200us in Australia and you can only sell it for $400us in Indonesia?

The price disparity argument (or the “Coals to Newcastle” argument) has been refuted elsewhere. Look on forums.whirlpool.net.au under “In the News” where there is a long thread. There is no point rehashing that argument everywhere. Look and you will find. http://tinyurl.com/bam3a

And what sort of question is it anyway? A legal one? A logical one? What if the answer was, “Because whoever would do such a thing is a bloody idiot?”

What then?

if cannabis is cheaper in indonesia, why would someone put it there anyway. are they just playing a $12200 joke on her, surely no trafficker will be that dumb.

i believe there is a market for cannabis to tourist in bali. so take the selling coal to Newcastle quote somewhere else.

not owning up to possesions of drugs is the first line of defense by EVERYONE caught red-handed. an unlocked bag is a better excuse than a locked one.

no one will admit to a crime that has the weight of death over it. i would have done the same.

i do not think that if an indonesian girl is found with in a similar situation in an australian airport, the treatment (of the case) will be any different, she will still have to prove that someone put it in her bag and it wasnt hers.

cannabis on most occassions do not kill, however, trafficking of drugs and the money involved on purchasing them from a dealer is different, i do NOT BELIEVE that this is a VICTIMLESS crime.

you’ve opened your hearts australia, now open your minds.

I would rather boycott travelling to Australia. If she is really innocent (IF) then it means there is a drug ring in either Brisbane airport or Sydney airport or both.
If she innocent, the possible scenario was that the trafficker in Brisbane is sending the pot to Sydney. But the Sydney gang screw up and the pot went on to Bali.

Conclusion, dont check in your luggage in Australia. Or even better rather than boycott Bali, Tsunami Fund boycott Australia.

Too many drugs now available in Bali, more serious than just that bloody hasish. Cocaine, Speed, Heroine which brings in more money were smuggled in by some of the tourists to Indonesia.

Shoot them in front of the death squad.I agree to the capital punishment, just like when OZs were ecstatic when the Bali Bombers given death sentences (remember that day of joy in Australia from the government and the good people of OZ?)
How come it is ok Bali Bomber get the capital punishment and not ok for big boobs Corby?
Jeez, wake up mate.

one point:

if it was my bag and i had body-boarded b4, i would notice the weight difference.. eh?

This whole Corby thing is definetly designed and executed to make people fight each other, anyone who logically observe the whole thing will definetly know that.

The same goes for the Bali bomb, the Australian Embassy bomb, Timor Leste’s ‘liberation’, Iraq’s ‘liberation’, Indonesia’s ‘liberation’, the Guantanomo Bay incident, and so on.

This sort of thing is capable of making some people fight each other due that some people seems to be ignorant on some things and don’t realize that the people who are currently in controls of the Indonesian government are the same ones who are currently in controls of the Australian government and other ‘official’ governments in the world.

These same people also controls mass media around the world, big tourist companies, big airline companies, human rights organizations, ‘terror’ organisation, anti-’terror’ organisation, drug makers, anti-drugs organizations, and so on.

If you follow ‘their’ words, sure you wouldn’t find any connection between all of ‘their’ ‘proxies’. However if you use your own instinct (and not the instinct ‘they’ installed on you), you will know that all of them obeyed the same master and all of them are just mere ‘proxies’.

Personally, I don’t care on whether Corby is innocent or guilty. That’s none of my business or problem.

It’s her business, it’s her problem, it’s also the business and problem the people associated with the whole thing (the baggage handlers, the airports, the airline companies, the courts, and so on).

Ask yourself, if this isn’t your business or problem, why should you be all concern about it?

The problem with the world today might not be people not caring about other people, but instead more about people messing around with things that aren’t their business in the first place.

Now… What about this so called drug problems?

Easy, decriminalize drug making, dealing, and trafficking. That would have eliminate this whole thing. Interestingly, it’s only after the ‘reformation’ that Indonesia’s drug laws become stricter.

Perharps Corby should have made a plea to the former President Suharto to bail her out? Assuming that she don’t want to be proven guilty or serve time, maybe she was threatened to ‘accept’ the verdict guily to save her family back home from suffering (maybe someone back home have a case against her family?), or maybe coming back home and living back home would be a more scarrier experiences (Indonesia is where many people escaped to when they’re in trouble, not the other way around), or maybe she think can make more money by playing the innocent victim, and so on.

It would have been much better to make a plea at Suharto than to make a plea at Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono who is only a mere weak stooge like George Walker Bush, John Howard, Tony Blair, and so on.

As for what happened if there’s a boycott on Indonesia and/or Bali.

Australia got lots more to lose than Indonesia should things gone for the worse. Sure both countries are capable of living on their own, especially Indonesia with lots of natural resources and people (Indonesia don’t need tourism or even foreign debts… er, I mean ‘aids’, those things are usually force feed by foreign parties), but Australia would have their routes severly disconnected.

I don’t know on why some Australians gone nutty of the whole boycott thing, either for this one or another or another or another.

Are some of them trying to make people fight each other? Or are some of them aren’t actually Australians and/or have any loyalty toward Australia and therefore are trying to make Australia lose a lot? Or some of them lack common sense? Or are some of them are just plain on too much drugs and/or alcohols?

I had a feeling Schapelle would be found guilty, simply by the way one of the judges kept hinting, however I am still shocked and amazed by it, as there are just too many discrepancies especially considering the baggage handling problem within Australia. I am all for drug smugglers to be punished, however feel strongly this woman is totally innocent. I also feel the Indonesian judicial system knows this full well, however being the arrogant people they are, they felt they had to prove a point. It makes ones stomach curdle. I will never step foot anywhere near indonesia, and I sincerely wish John Howard wouldnt sign any more cheques over to them, at least until they fix up their own corrupt judicial system. God help the poor woman.

hey Prima, May 30, I agree with you, and hope in hell never to see the likes of your kind in Australia. Please take your own advice and never grace our shores with your slimy uneducated presence, ok?

I unfortunately personally have met one member of the Bali nine, group, and am not overly surprised to see this man now behind bars. However I do feel strongly that Schapelle Corby is an innocent victim of an obviously corrupt internal problem within Australias main airline, and no not because she is an attractive woman with large breasts, but simply because there are enough discrepancies to prove her innocent.

Schapelle is Guilty !!! Or at least someone in her shitty family is…

Sad but true. Yes it is uncomfortable to see a young woman behind bars & yes the sentence is way too harsh - but I really have not heard one bit of “real” evidence to say she is innocent. I have heard plenty the other way. All this bullshit about ’someone’ shoving it in her bag to take out at other airports…What a load of crap. Grass is moved via land in this country..especially those amounts. To findd the right bag, take it out in the airport - put it into another bag - get it out of the airport… why the fuck would anyone bother with such a risky way to move pot - when if they can wait a day - it can come safely down the highway ??? Also - this argument about why bring in drugs to a country where it is cheaper also displays a lot of ignorance. Buying pot in bulk is cheap in this country - especially if you know the grower. Selling it to Aussies (foreigners) in Bali is a profitable business… very much so… so please forget that horseshit excuse once and for all. Denpasar is a “soft” airport… Been thru there many times myself…

Wouldnt she notice that her bag is twice as heavey…? (remeber that Boogie boards are foam & light..??)

I believe that eventually due to the stress of this case more evidence will come to light - but not in her favour implicating people she knows - family probably, & then I think a lot of people will feel like real fucking morons for acting like racist fools throughout this ridiculous scene. Also - the Australian media (Ray martin & all those wankers) - I have an idea - lets lock them up & free scahpelle. Shes only moving a bit of dope… those people are a blight on this country. Wrongheaded, ratings hunting, vain tossers…

Sorry “Team Schapelle”… I really do hope you get out but I have never bought for one second your whole story. Try & put emotion aside people & think laterally and clearly - not like some media drenched idiot savants…

Shapelle Corby. “Beyond resonable doubt”. Guilty or not, justice in Indonesia is beyond belief.
As a blue collar working Australian who donated to the tsunami appeal, I’m shattered and saddened how humanity is a lonely one way street.
Why! BOYCOTT FOREVER

I like to travel to beautiful beaches and was considering go to Bali. After hearing about this story I would NEVER go to Bali. This is something that could happen to anyone, like it did to schapelle. I will tell everyone this story so that this doesnt happen to anymore innocent people. DO NOT TRAVEL TO BALI!!!!!!!

As mentioned previously above in a couple of posts - weather she is guilty or not at this stage is not the issue - she has been found guilty. Theories - conspiracy or otherwise again do not matter. Any event similar to this will always be seen from many angles, any number of which may or may not be correct.
The fact of the matter now is that if the Australian Govt and the Indonesion Govt are to set up a prisoner exchange in the future, the last thing both want is it being played out in full public view. Having lived in Asia for many years you can never under estimate the importance of “giving/having face” in front of your friends/neighbours/contacts etc. this concept works at all levels and at a govt level, with the continued outbursts from australia on an emotional level, it will only serve to give all the more reason for the Indonesions to dig their heals in and not be open to giving any concessions. If Australia wants her back , the public need to accept what has happened and allow the govt back channels to do their thing and just maybe quietly a few years down the track they will agree to a release/transfer to Australia.
I have my own opinon as to wether she is guilty or not and I concur with a previous post that the public has not had the full background - there are facts out there that need to be considered.
To all those posters who have attacked those posting here with opinions different to their own, it’s time to grow up and look at this objectivly from a factual point of view not an emotional one.

i think she was set up and that she should be let free

it ia all a load of crap i dont think that any one could be stupid enough to take druks to bali it is already one of the largest producers of drugs and they are only punishing her so harshly to prove a point to australians. they have rewined her life all to prove a point wat a wast i hate bali now so much and i think that bali puting shapell corb away for 20 years is going to put backfire on them badly they might aswell be up shit creek without a paddle

Well im just here to say Y would some1 import drugs to Bali when you could walk down the streets of bali and people would offer you that stuff 4 a fraction of the price it would cost in australia. ALL AUSTALIANS SHOULD BOYKOT BALI BECAUSE WHAT HAPPEND TO SHAPELL CORBY COULD HAPPEN TO ANY AUSSIE. SHE WAS SET UP AND FRAMED, IT COULD BE YOU THINK ABOUT IT…. D.A.M. an 18yr old from ADELAIDE

To Corby’s supporters. I wonder if you care so much if she was old and ugly.

guilty

please remember the reports on tv on shappelle corby r sensational not factual, and they take a piont of veiw. the justice system is similar in inodnesia to australia xcept there is no jury. hte judgement is decided by three judges. these 3 judges who heard all the evidence, would be able to deduce whether she is guilty or innocent better than a bunch of queenslanders and her family, who might be a little biased. neway, why is she getting so much media attention, a lot of travleers are arrested for drug trafficking, there is only so much media attention coz shes a young attractive female. and as 4 da idea of stopping aid, its ridiculous

Sit down and think for a while.

How will boycotting Bali affect the Indonesian judicial process? The people who will be ultimately affected are the common Balinese, those who work hard to bring food to the table, as we do. They never asked for this and nor could they have done a thing about this judgement. Consider their livelihoods before you spout this xenophobic nonsense.

As for pulling donations from tsunami victims, do you really think the Acehnese were personally responsible for this mess? Find some logic in your head and love in your heart, these people have suffered enough for reasons far less obvious than the circumstance of a pretty girl and her unusually heavy boogie board bag.

Truly, the only winners here are Schapelle’s lawyers and those that have fanned the media firestorm. Boycotts and ill tidings will never touch these people, so give it a break.

Why don’t the Australian people focus on greater injustices like David Hicks, who has been in detention without trial in Cuba on just as obfuscated a case for years now? Is it because he’d have trouble filling an A-cup bra, let alone show up to court with perfectly arched eyebrows?

Schapelle is doing nothing to express any sensitivity towards this beautiful and altogether different culture. Please girl, cover those shoulders and tuck in the boobs. You’re in a conservative country. If you truly want the sympathy of a few, try not to offend everyone else. And as for converting to Christianity, that’s great. Sorry to hear that Vishnu and Allah aren’t picking up their cellphones today.

Truly, I care for her plight. But I care far more about how irrational my fellow Australians can be, given enough rope. I look forward to visiting Bali next month and discovering the natural beauty that has drawn adventurers for hundreds of years now. Hai Bali! Apa kabar?

David Hicks is a terrorist, no different than the bastards who set the Bali bomb.

no more hatred please…

i reakon that schappelle corby is inosent because
who would be dumb enough to go up to the baggage handlers and say there is something in my bag if she new that her drugs were in there

reading these comments make me feel sick , especially from that “american businessman” . the only way you anglos can see places like this one is as if it was your colony , and you can behave there any way you like . I have seen folks like this girlie an too many and in too many places over the years , and seen the change they brought about them . kuta , best example , was territory for those whose idea of a holiday is getting drunk as early in the day possible already in 1984 , and possibly before that . today , I would never set foot there . yes , I am all for you boycotting bali , maybe the place will be nicer again .
no doubt indonesia is a corrupt place , but not so in bali which is different from the rest..and it has culture while DU has none other than beer drinking from the bottle . have your parties at home , please , and leave bali alone.

I wonder if she would have received only 3 1/2 years in prison if she had bombed an embassy and killed 9 people in Jakarta like Irun Hidayat did today.

Schapelle is innocent if bali ppl cant c that then hey shud wake up frm that dream there having! she shud b let go or at least sent bak to aussie wer she belongs, bali wonders y there loosing there tourists well theres ur answer! probably bcuz ppl r 2 scared 2 cum ova ne more bcuz of all the drugs that have been found in ppls suitcases! SCHAPELLE CORBY is innocent and shud b let out! it was mnt 2 b a holiday of fun now its a loss of her life! i think these rules r getting outa hand and the RULEZ r gettin more fucked as it goes along! let her come HOME! **INNOCENT CORBY** WE LOVE U!

hey
its really sad to see the Bali 9, everyday on the news and hoping its good news for them as its so teribble with the death peanalty i mean if someone gets killed because they done something wrong, is so bad coz they haven’t learnt from it, as they didn’t have a chance to. PlZ Bali PEOPLE who work in Chail let this Young beautiful people live and put them into chail and they will learn from their mistakes plz plz!!!! i hate seeing this people in pain.
I mean this people maybe once want a family and they can’t do this why they will be shoot, why why shoot sumone?

Shappel Corby is innocent, can’t you other people see that, i mean her bro put the drugs into her bags, he should be the one in Jail, i can’t even believe how he could do sumthing like that to his sister that he loves. I know why i think this coz her bro was on the news and he was lying, i just can’t believe he did these.

To whom it may concern. Crime doesn’t pay.i think she is guilty and 20 years is quite lieniant. Its a sad situation though.In my regards.They [prosecuters]should push for the death penalty.Shes better of dead than spending her time there.God rest her soul. P.S. We Australia should have the same tough drug laws as Indonesia

I have read and dissagreed to almost all of these comments, I am an Australian and i would be quite pissed of if Indonesia came to Australia and started messing with our laws, Indonesia cought her with the drugs therefore it shalt be Indonesias choice in wot happends. If she had a good case with good proof she will live if not yes we have lost a good Australian, But we may of lost a bad smart drug dealer. Do we no if she is good ore bad?
No so stop making judments, because you dont no.

Shapelle Corby is as guilty as hell, she is always out and about in kuta,through corruption money, she has been seen at the beach, restaurants and was even seen by friends of mine at the Bounty Ship. Money does wonders in bali.
WHY DO YOU THINK CORBY ALWAYS HAS A SMILE ON HER FACE, she is having the life of riley and in approx. 9 years will be free and living as a millionaire once she sells her story to the world. She will never have to do a days work for the rest of her life. She deserves everything she gets, she knew the rules, “commit the crime, do the time”

Shapelle Corby is guilty. seriously, how can you not notice an extra 10 kilograms in your luggage.. especialy in a boogie board bag which it was found… the board itself doesnt even weigh a kilo!

CAN’T BELIVE ALL THE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT STILL THINK SHE IS GUILTY AS THE GIRL HAS NOT SUFFERED ENOUGH FOR YOUR GAIN, THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!!!! NO ONE SHOULD GO THROUGH WHAT THIS POOR GIRL HAS GONE THROUGH, IMAGINE HER LIFE KNOW,,, NO SHOWERS NO TOWELS JUST A BUCKET OF FITHLY WATER A DAY AND RICE THAT IS OFFFFF

hmmm susan..I think you should put ur money where ur mouth is. As for my money I would rather spend it on worthwhile causes.

Susan, what are you smoking ? Im sure we would rather give money to people that really deserve it..eg: sick children,homeless.
People like Schapelle and her oxygen thieving family have felt the wrath of Karma… Dont worry yourself,her big mouth buck tooth sister will take her whatever her little heart desires and when she is free will never have to work again after selling her story.
