Today at 11.30, the Balanese judges will give their final verdict on the Schapelle Corby Case today. The Balanese law system seems so corrupt: A guy can get six years for smuggling 5kg of heroin out of the country, but an Australian woman can face death/life in prison for Supposedly smuggling in about the same amount in marijuana. Mind you, there’s no solid proof she actually smuggled it in.

Proof for:
-It was in her boogey board bag.
-Balanese security claim she was reluctant to open it when they asked.

Proof-But-Not-Proof she didn’t do it:
-The bag wasn’t weight at either of the two airports she had to stop at on her way to Bali.
-She had been to Bali several times before, her sister lived in Bali, so she SURE AS HELL would know about the rules.
-You can get more cash for selling that much Marijuana in Australia than you can on bali: And I don’t think she was planning on smoking more than 5 kg of Marij.

But nevertheless, the Balanese will probably throw her in jail. The primary judge has had over 300 drug cases, and not one of those convicted drug-smugglers has walked free.

I will update at 11.30 when we know what’s happening :)

EDT: Found guilty. Jailed for 20 years.

I heard on the news this morning, I just sat there in shock. I’ve gathered some Australians would like the money back they’ve given to the Tsunami 12-12 support action. It sounds a bit crazy but I understand what they must be feeling. This woman’s life is ruined.

Made me think about that movie about those three friends who went to Thailand or something and one of them got busted carrying marihuana after having stolen a bike… I don’t remember the title nor the actors, but I do remember I cried a great deal of the movie… It’s like this is happening in real life now.

I haven’t heard of the case.. but you would think that there would be different sentances for the type of drug.. or at least being more leinient on marij. But then again I’m from canada and we’re thinking of decriminalizing it.

: / That’s so sad. I don’t really understand why they punish people for that… selling I understand, but carrying? The stuff exists, it grows out of the ground, how can we be put in jail for having it? ~sighs

I know this is way out of date but i totally couldn’t resist posting… probably no one will read this but whatev. You and your friendly commenters are wankers. ‘Echo’ wonders why we get in trouble for having 5 kg of marijuana on us…hmmmm its illegal - ever think of that. If you’re carrying 5kg its highly unlikely that you would be smoking it all youself..i.e. you would be selling it…ergo illegal.
Secondly SHE IS GUILTY…YOUR LIST OF EVIDENCE IS THE MOST BIASED PIECE OF SHIT EVER. Who says you have all the evidence…that list of evidence came off a biased Australian media network determined to say ‘wow aren’t australians mistreated’. I don’t see you complaining about the thousands of australians locked up in indonesia for drug smuggling with little evidence so why shappelle corby. Its all a piece of crap. You are not the judge. We can’t interfere with another countries justice system. Shappelle Corby has been given a fair trial…we have no right as Australian citizens to complain about the indonesian justice system.
There is plenty of evidence to say that she is guilty and i wish everyone would stop being such wankers and realise there is no way we can tell if she is innocent or guilty.
That is all *bang*
