Schapelle Corby Expected Back Home Next Year

[icyfroth]

Corby was sentenced to 20 years behind bars in 2005, for attempting to traffic 4.2 kilograms of cannabis into Bali. Her sentence was later reduced to 15 years.The 39-year-old was released on parole from Kerobokan Prison in February 2014. She is expected to be eligible for deportation out of Indonesia on May 27 next year, leaving behind her home for the past 12 years.

Parole Board officials keeping tabs on Corby will coordinate the details of her release with Indonesian Immigration over the next few months, News Corporation reported.Corby is Bali's first foreigner to be granted parole, and the second in the whole of Indonesia, so the process is unprecedented and logistics are difficult to iron out.

She is required to report to parole officers monthly and adhere to strict conditions of staying away from drugs and not committing any crimes.Mercedes, who lived in Bali when her sister's parole was granted, has since returned to Australia and has recently opened a Gold Coast bar with former pro-surfer Trudy Todd.

I bet she'll be glad to be back on home soil.

Most Aussies will be glad she's back too.

I'm just glad that Schoolies Week was just beginning when my girls were young.  Not everyone took part.

I just said NO....I was the worst mother in the world but at least my daughters got to pursue their dreams unlike some of the morons who took part and were hurt or worse.

I had no idea.

So the kid was either scammed or pranked, or it was a prank gone wrong.

Or the Indonesian authorites put a spin on it.

Or, the kid himself took a couple of panadol tablets and crushed them up and put them in a little bag hoping to sell it to some unsuspecting other kid at schoolies to help out with the costs of his own holiday.

It's a possibility. I've heard of something similar happening before.
