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?

My point was in answer to post 122.  They were both guilty, but only one of them has people fawning over her.  The other is an Australian woman also.

OK.  I thought that maybe you were suggesting  that one has more support because of the belief that she is innocent as opposed to the other, based on the evidence.   ( "Or is she really guilty, whereas ............."  the other may not be ??? )

Nup, never.

The Bali 9 had the drugs strapped to their bodies no defending that! Lol
First let me say I believe the Corby family were guilty, the reason it was in the boogie board bag was because the people on the inside knew where it was and shunted it on through.....or should have...but something went wrong.

For years people have been banging on about the sentence being severe (far harsher than for some involved in the Bali bombings) but "their country, their rules". Now that there may be money to be made we want to subject her to our proceeds of crime laws and snatch it away. Double standard.

Personally I think that, if innocent, then $3 million doesn't even to begin to make up for what she's been through. Of course, we'll probably never know.

I have no real idea about Schapelle being guilty or innocent but I lean more towards innocent. Not her looks or her body shape or her age or sexual preferences................

Renee L could hardly plead innocence?

i dont get it, does pot fetch a good price in bali?

thought it was cheap over there

[j*oono]

Maybe so Joz, but if I was a dope smoker in Bali I would be less worried about getting set up buying from an Aussie dealer.

Who knows, maybe she was just a courier or maybe she didn't even know she was a courier and she was set up.

If you were an Aussie dealer in Bali it would seem to be safer to buy in bulk from a trusted local (if you can find one), rather than take the huge risk of importing your supply. One theory is that the Corby pot was never intended to leave Australia but was being moved between domestic airports.

Back in the seventies, South East Asia had a reputation for producing superior pot (e.g. Thai sticks), which sold for a premium. These days, some would argue that the Australian product has overtaken it in the quality stakes.
