Schapelle Corby to be released?

[*crikey*mate*]

Indonesia's justice minister will sign Schapelle Corby's parole application in the next three days.

Do you think they'll sign?

'Le mot exact' is not always 'le mot juste', Polks.Technically a 26 or even 25 year old could be described as old enough to be a grandmother.

BTW what was/were the previous offence(s) of which she was not convicted?

It was said by some authorities at the time that the person had manifested the same behaviour many times.

 am not sure how she will be rich, we have laws about profiting from a crime and since she was convicted and wasn't allowed the money from her book, how will she be allowed profit from a movie?

I thought that too.

And one of my younger sisters was a grandmother at 36.

Which authorities, which time and which behaviour?

will it apply to her?

The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (the Act) was passed on 11 October 2002 and came into operation on 1 January 2003.

The Act provides a scheme to trace, restrain and confiscate the proceeds of crime against Commonwealth Law. In some circumstances it can also be used to confiscate the proceeds of crime against foreign law or the proceeds of crime against State law (if those proceeds have been used in a way that contravenes Commonwealth law).

The Act also provides a scheme that allows confiscated funds to be given back to the Australian community in an endeavour to prevent and reduce the harmful effects of crime in Australia.

Mr Anderson said: "There are still considerable hurdles to overcome, but there is no question, if handled properly, this could be a great opportunity for Schapelle to tell her story and negotiate a similar deal (to the Beaconsfield miners)."

Schapelle will be a very rich lady now, having the movie made about her.

They could not make the movie without her permission and payments for the rights.

Money talks, and talks a lot in Indonesia. She may not be able to leave their country, but she will live a life of luxury, such as she never knew before.

Guilty or innocent. The time she spent in prison will be well paid for.
