I think Schappelle is innocent, I mean, I don't think she would be so stupid as to take $80000 worts of drugs to Indonesia, knowing there can be the death sentace if your caught. The Bali Government is just trying to think it's hot ****, when really, I don't even know why it is around. And "the Wise" whouldn't it look a bit suss if airpoort workers from the airport that Schappelle's bags went through quit after the incodent. nnot even I would be stupid enough to do that.And Satomi, you make some good, relevant, points, but the drgs may have been in Schappelle's bags, but there is no evidence that she put them there. The odd's are against her though, because the Judge that is doing her case have NEVER let a drug smuggler free, and he has seen 502 court cases about drug smuggling.
why would you take drugs, worth up to $80000 her, to indonesia where they probably wouldn't even be worth $1000. she also said "yeah that's my bag". if you knew there were drugs in your bag, you wouldn't claim it. i know i'd sign it off to someone else.
It's ironic that an idiot who calls themselves "The Wise" cannot see very clearly what anyone with an ounce of compassion would see, that Schappelle Corby is innocent. You only have to look at her to see that. Compare her to the 9 desperate guys who have attempted to smuggle the heroin into Indonesia. You have to ask yourself, WHY would she do it. My heart goes out to her and I pray that she's found innocent.
she shouldnt of been so ditzy! if you had have been wearing a cleavage top she would have got out of the airport with no problems the guy acutally said "show me your boobs not her bags." how silly can you be
Schappelle is quite evidently guilty. Furthermore I am sick of these websites expressing in emotional terms that she is innocent and that everyone is behind her(quite clearly that is a lie). The voting poles that are used are always self selected, I mean who cares about a pole on the www.dontshootschapelle.co m website that has produced a, suprise suprise, 99.95% voting her innocent; these statistics are useless, as people feeling strong views on the subject especially in order to “Save” her, are quite obviously going to visit the website and vote “Yes, She’s Innocent”.
Furthermore they use stupid facts and raise stupid issues; for example, on www.schapellecorby.com.au , they say “Why bring the drugs to Bali where they can be bought at a fraction of the price”; this argument works against them. If it was so pointless for her to bring the drugs their in order to make a profit, then why, would experienced Australian drug dealers be responsible in her place for smuggling the drugs, wouldnt it be pointless for them too?
Then again on the www.dontshootschapelle.co m website, it states “There have been numerous incidents where baggage handlers have tampered with bags. They have been accused of using baggage to transport drugs between Australian capital cities. When the criminals at the receiving airport fail to find the bag where the drugs are hidden, it continues onto another connecting flight, putting the bag’s owner at great risk. Bags containing drugs are often marked with chalk so that they will be easily spotted by the intended recipient”. Firstly I seriously doubt that the baggage handlers who are tampering would fail to pick up a load of drugs worth up to $80000; if this occured wouldnt they be in severe danger of the so called drug lords in Australia, who would demand retribution from the baggage handler? I havent heard of any dissappearances of airport workers, have you? Also, where do they find their sources for this information; I mean using chalk as a me
I wonder if the fools that sau schappelle is guilty will apolgise when eventually she is found to be innocent.I didn,t think. the world will always have a smaal minority of fools.SHE IS INNOCENT YOU IDIOTS
Schappelle will get life and the Australian Goverment deal will be signed AFTER the trial so she won't be eligible for the exchange program. She was set up with the hope all the media attention and Bali customs would drop their guard so the Bali 9 could sneak through.
An Indonesian girl arrives in Oz from Jakarta via Bali 4kg of dope found in her bag.I didn;t do it the Jakarta baggage handler put it in their,would we believe her ? Not likely.Schappelle did the crime she can do the time.Are all drug importers gonna blame baggage handlers from now on ?
she is innocent because without the key fingerprints then there is the element of doubt. if there is any doubt at all they should let her go free.shes done her time. the poor girl is clearly innocent and shes being put through hell
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 Sch
Schapelle is 100% GUILTY.
Face the facts.
She said on the TV show that she opened her bag after the customs officer asked who's bag it was. NOBODY volunteers to open their bag without beind asked to by customs. That indicates she is lying about what happened at customs.
GUILTY
Schappelle is obviously innocent of this crime. If that fat slug, Derryn(human dickhead)Hinch says that she is guilty, she must be innocent. Derryn Hinch has never been right about anything in his life!
The worst part of all is the fact that the Bali nine were busted as her trial was steaming ahead. I see this as a disaster as the Indo judges will now use Schappelle as an example.
Lets free Schappelle, we'll trade her for the other nine wankers that deserve to be imprisoned or better yet, executed. What is worse, 4 kg of pot or 10kg of heroin. I know what I prefer.
Let's face a few things... woman have several things that can can't be denied.
Two of them are that MOST woman are very perceptive and their level of intuition is incredibly high.
SCHAPELLE CORBY IS GUILTY - in a totally different way !
The boogie board & bag weighed approx 3 kilo's and was 10cms (approx 3 inches) in height. The dope was approx 4 kg's. Now consider one fact that most on this list have totally ignored - but the JUDGES WILL TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION:
She picked up her bags at the carosel... then walked the 25-50 metres to the Custom's check out. WALKED - carrying - a boogie bag that was now - 7 Kg's in weight - and was also 30cms (12 inchs) thick.
Now - MOST WOMAN - with their level of perception would first think "This bag is heavier and bigger than it was at Brisbane... hmmmm... better check it!"
At that point she had all the time in the world to open it before customs and leave it on the carousel - if she wanted to..... or her "loving brother" could have done the same. She admitted that the bag was hers.... that is what the JUDGES are considering... she admitted to it - mistake or not she had the chance to open and check it before arriving at the check out booth.
Either she was in on this with her brother and friend - or one (or all) of them is guilty!!
She's innocent! honestly why would she even TRY to smuggle that amount of drugs into a country which has a dealth penalty. They should set her free, they're being stupid not to see she's INNOCENT.
ive just heard of a travel agent in hobart tasmania who is not selling any tickets to bali!!!1 i fully support him and encourage others to do the same. his prepared to lose money to support a fellow australian so am i i feel for her amnd all her family were all hoping for the best schapelle good luck lets bring this girl home also FIONA why does being involved with bikies make you a druggie???????
FREE SCHAPELLE anyone can see she is innocent why prosecute someone without real evidence its not fair stuff bali im never going there good luck schapelle were hoping for you
I wonder what would be happening if an Indonesian lady arrived at an Australian airport with 4 kg of marijuanna in her bag.
GUILTY as sin.
We are racist, no white girl could possibly do it. Face the facts - an injustice story with a pretty girl involved sells more papers. If she was fat and ugly, no one would give a ****!
No-one in their right mind would go to Bali at the moment - I know I won't go back. Innocent people are set up - FREE SCHAPELLE - BOYCOTT BALI TOURISM.
**** shappelle corby she is a ***** she should get penis up her ****... she deserves to rot in jail as a prosty giving head to people
her problem not ours
its her fault she has drugs
drugs are kewl
im hungry bgye
I cant beleive the turmoil this poor INNOCENT Women has gone through. Bring her home where she belongs. Schapelle Corby is 100% Innocent! Hope your home soon.
To all you morons with the intelligence of a house brick who signed this petition with "Guilty" verdicts. WAAAKKEEE UUUPPPP!!!
The facts speak for themselves, you narrow-minded, head-in-the-sand drop-kicks!!! You've all shown your lower-than-a-snakes-belly mentality. If any of you had half a brain between you, it'd be very damn lonely!!!!!!!
Schappelle Corby is bloody INNOCENT!!! Point 1: Drugs are so much cheaper in Bali - why the hell would anybody bother to smuggle them from here to there? It is so utterly illogical. Point 2: If you WERE going to try to smuggle them, surely you'd try to hide them - DUH! Point 3: This is the most telling point. Schappelle has "that" wide-eyed look. This is a physiological reflexive shock response - WHICH CANNOT BE FAKED!! Only the innocent get that look. Point 4: She was tested for marijuana and came up negative. THC, the main component of marijuana stays in the system for at least 5-7 days. Marijuana is psychologically addictive and users don't abstain for that long. "But for the grace of God, there goes I". This could be any one of us - your mother, your daughter, your sister, your wife. We need to band together and support her and her family. Bali has draconian laws regarding marijuana and they need to change them. Howard - get off your arse and DO something. The excuse you don't have the power is invalid!! God be with you Schappelle.
Hopefully we'll see you coming home, and the sooner, the better.
Let's just say hypothetically speaking that she were guilty...I'm pretty sure the poor woman has already learned her lesson. She'd probably never even get on a plane again. Anyway, is it just me, or is anyone else having deja vu from watching Bridget Jones, the edge of reason. Someone hire Mark Darcy for this poor woman.
dont you think the death penalty is a lil harsh??, for what we do for our fellow indonisian countryz we get "F" all respect from them. Althohg there is not much evidence eather way she did it or not, and why accuse a person of doing somehting that you hav no idea and no fair evidence about. now i may b full of humor n stoopidity, but i stick up for our rites, and thinkkkkk abouttttt feeellinnnngggssss you ppl, gee anyyy way, i wish Schappelle the best,and yer, ciao
Schappelle is NOT guilty as she is too intelligent to commit such a stupid crime. The strength of character she has shown throughout this ordeal is extraordinary and my heart goes out to her and her family. The Aust. gov MUST get their asses into gear to ensure SCHAPPELLE COMES HOME SAFELY.
Now it all begins to become clear. It appears people like Keelty were
after some self-promoting news headlines with regard to the current drug busts, when innocent Schapelle stumbled into the very thing the Authorities have finally admitted they were investigating.
“Baggage handlers at Sydney Airport, being involved with the shipment of drugs, both from overseas and within this country, using the baggage of innocent people to carry out their task”.
They’ve kept quiet, even made claims that it wasn’t happening, all of which hasn’t been of any help to Schapelle, in fact Keelty’s statements were damning to her and he continues to try to cover what they were up to, by insisting Schapelle’s case isn’t connected.
If Keelty knows so much, how come, once again, they only caught small fry? They never catch the big fish. So how can the man who only partially does his job, because he only partially knows what he needs to know, make such damning statements about anyone, when he quiet clearly doesn’t have all the facts, or we’d have seen the big fish in the roundup of these latest drug busts. But we didn’t did we? All we can see is innocent Schapelle in prison.
The Indonesians have been condemned for this, but now I’m wondering about that. Were they also innocent victims in all of this? Were they misled by our Authorities desire to keep a lid on an ongoing investigation relating to drug smuggling and baggage handlers? Did Keelty’s statements to the press also mislead them?
It’s highly likely Keelty’s evil mouth hasn’t helped and now, when, as usual, it’s way too late, Howard finally gets what all other Australians have been screaming about for months, “maybe Schapelle is innocent” “ maybe it’s possible someone could have planted drugs in her luggage” Maybe there are corrupt baggage handlers at Sydney airport “ which Schapelle has claimed from day one.
I think our Government Authorities owe the Indonesians and Australians an apology. I also think
Murderers are let free to walk the streets everyday, yet one girl (innocent or not) can be possibly executed for the most harmless of illegal drugs! Give me a break.Send her home.
There needs to be a fair trial. This is horrific. I will not be travelling to Inodnesia, ever, if this is standard procedure. Smuggling drugs is NOT a reason to kill someone
I think this whole world needs to lighten up a little bit. This poor girl is sitting in prison over a such a minor thing. I really hope someone can help this girl , god knows i would if i had the means. PLEASE WAKE UP AND WORRY ABOUT SOMETHING WORTH WHILE.
Whether guilty or not, she deserves a fair trial and reasonable conditions during imprisonment. She doesn't appear to have a chance for either. This is outrageous and my heart goes out to her and her family. In my opinion, the facts are such that I question her guilt. Does Australia not have an extradition treaty with Indonesia? Can she not be tried in her native country?
Prayers, thoughts are with her.
Yeh theres crazy ppl out there, but all ausies arent crazy, how can u see a girl like that go down in bali? man, this is wack ****. u gotta let her out. if i was in her position i would stay strong and i would fight for everything till im too tired. atleast let her go and come back to australia and for a punishment ban her for comin to bali for half a year. thats better then a death sentence for drugs, coz soon drugs will prbly be legal.... well some ppl hope
I agree with Wendy Kenney, the death penalty is outrageous for this crime. I believe since she's an aussie citizen and took the drugs from australia to bali it should be an australian trial.
I am a very opininated person but i always do my reasearch before i decide to have a say in nething and if all the idiots that think corby is guilty done theirs they would soon realize that the two security guards that put the marijuana in corby's bag came forward they would change their opinions the 2 security guards came forward when it was to late and tha bli government wont acccept their conffesion i think our government should ****en take back all the donations we gave them when that tsunami hit and let them see how far they will get or stop the tourist going over there thats wot they live on sdo sumfin and give them an altermatem let her go or we wont help no more
Think about why the **** would you even think of doing that its stupid i honestly think shes innocent she cant be that stupid to think she can get away with it that easily
GUILTY!!! Schapelle Corby has been smuggleing drugs for years and the weed she had on her was suposed to be droped off in sydney but it didnt happen for some reason and it got brought to bali wen it wasnt suposed to be and wen she gets sentenced all this will come out.. and the ***** will get wat she deserves.. those smackies aint stupid, they know exactly whats going on with her and they wouldnt give a flying f*ck if everyone else in the world thinks there arseholes, there just trying to protect there country from f*ck faces like her!
Amen!
Bring Schapelle Corby back home where she belongs which is Back on Australian Soil. And if Howard and his Government dont do something about this soon, then it is up to the People.
Keelty should stand down. Qantas should pay compensation. Howard has acted shamefully and is not a leader worthty of Scheppelle's support. Scheppelle, I hope you are free soon and make millions out of a book.
To the dickheads calling Schappelle guilty. She is innoicent, any intelligent Australian can see this. But on the off chance that you are right, she still does not deserve this backward justice that lets cold blooded murderers free after 18 months and treat dope smugglers with harsher sentences. Come on Indonesian government need to wake up and realize they are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
Spot on Matt. Guilty.
No evidence????????
SHE WAS CAUGHT RED HANDED with 4 kg of marijuanna in her bag and refused to open it when stopped.
My doesnt the media show all the facts. Her family was being investigated because of her links with bikies. Thats why crazy ron is defending , because his brother is a bikie.
LOOK AT THE FACTS, not some media bullcrap about baggage handlers. THE EVIDENCE DOESNT LIE, so all you backward country bumpkin hicks with your heads up your ass, WAKE UP
Kim you are about the only person who sees through the media smokescreen. Its not mine, it was planted - GEE THERE IS NO DRUG SMUGGLERS IN PRISON USING THAT DEFENCE, but as soon as someone half pretty uses it DUMB AUSTRALIA falls for it. Look at the facts -
1. There is no good dope in bali it is all crap and there is a big european market for good dope.
2. Ron Bakir (or whatever alias he is using this week) who also has a brother in a motorcycle gang, is defending her out of his good free will - yep sure.
3. Her sister married an idonesian and lives in bali - they have contacts to distribute - plus their business recently failed leaving them in debt.
4. Baggage handlers. Do you know how hard it would be to smuggle 4.1 kg into brisbane airport baggage handling area. Absolute crap - Sydney may be different, but brisbane is a lot smaller and better security than sydney.
5. last but not least, she did not want the bag opened in Bali and refused to open the bag.
My theory - its not hers but she knew it was there. She has been to bali before and took smoke in there last time thinking they never get searched. After the Bali bombings, security increased 10 fold. She is a 27 yo beauty student, obviously not a brain surgeon.
GUILTYGUILTYGUILTY
WOW, ALL THE TIME THAT WESTERN COUNTRIES SPENT RAISING MONEY AND RELIEF EFFORT FOR INDONESIA AFTER THE TSUNAMI SURE WAS WORTH IT!!! UNGRATEFUL BACKWARDS IDIOTS....DON'T COME CRYING TO US THE NEXT TIME A KARMA WAVE COMES YOUR WAY.
she has been to bali before so she knows pot is cheap and readily available. knowing this why would one take such a stupid risk? she doesnt look stupid to me. we have cancelled plans for bali indefinitely.
shes guilty!! I wish everyone would see it. Its just a media build up. As soon as she is charged the real story will come out. Open your eyes australia
DONT GO TO INDONESIA
If the Indonesions could erradicate all doubt I wouldnt be signing this. They havent! so if they find her guilty not only will I never go there but I will avoid buying all their products too.
I am as much against drugs as the next person.
Even blind freddie can see there has been a frame up here so cut the crap and free the girl.Boycott bali until they get there act together otherwise we are all to blame for corbys plight.
The Aussie Gov. should definitely have acted earlier. For Howard to say, "we must respect their law system"...who's leg u trying to pull? You either have no brains or ur just trying to suck up to SBY. This sure doesnt mean that we the people are going to be complete pussies about this. We will fight to the end, even if you dont.
If this was a court case in Aus., it would be thrown out of court - the whole thing has been botched and there is no real evidence. The Indonesian legal system is run like a circus and the biggest clown is the main judge.
Howard got it wrong when he referred to Indonesia's legal system. OURS is a system. They've got a setup. Didya catch the TV show a while back on Indo, where they featured a man cradling his injured wife (car prang), where it was noted that she would get ZERO treatment? Indo has a military system. It has a medical setup. I know a 30-year Lombok veteran, who'd NEVER visit a Dr there. Our politics are dirty, int'l politics, filthy. The best Howard can offer is "I would simply say that I hope justice is done and it's a fair and true verdict". HOPE? Oh, and he "feels for her". Ta, John. He couldn't say "she'd be innocent in Oz, SBY, with a guilty verdict impossible, beyond reasonable doubt. The Tsunami bags of gold were for what, John? No leverage possible?(To think I gave $250 to the bastards! Damn them!) SBY spoke nicely in Oct 02 in Bali, but he's an ungrateful SOB. And as for the moustached "judge": I'd have picked him for a criminal, in any other setting. Guttersnipe! - like ignoramuses "dad and dave" (q.v.), and you, "a person" (q.v.), you morons. As with the types who sunbaked at Patonga whilst orphaned children were screaming for their dead parents, there'll be unprincipled jerks who'll go to Bali. Let'em go, let'em cop it. Goodus luckus. For those who can always see 400 sides to every question, i.e., the morally ambiguous, note that "East is East, West is West, and ne'er the twain shall meet". Courage, poor dear Aussie sister Schappelle.
Schappelle Corby should be rescued from that awful prison. She is obviously innocent and should not have to endure this injustice. The Australian Government must do something ... anything to bring her back home. Then get real about fixing baggage security at our airports so that this doesn't happen to anyone else in future.
I believe that bali should be boycotted by all Travel agents-No one is safe that could be my son or daughter in her place now.Why does John Howard always suck up to the Indonesions.
Where is the evidence that these were drugs that she was importing?? With her sister living in Bali she would know the risks involving drugs. It is obvious the girl is innocent, and we need to scrutinize our baggage handling and customs processes as recent events have shown.Bring Shappelle home.
my heart and soul goes out to this INNOCENT girl... our government needs to wake up and take action and scheppelle needs a fair trial.. it really gets me angry!!! ahhhhh
guilty until proven innocent?what sort of justice system is that?I feel desperately sorry for Schappelle and her family.I don't think I will be travelling to Bali any time soon.This could happen to anyone.!
Shes innocent and should be sent home straight away. This is injustice at its worst, all Australians should boycott Bali until they sort out here judical system
The Balinese know Schappelle is innocent. Why has the International Court not gotten involved in this?
John Howard CAN AND SHOULD bring her home. Simple.
If the U.S. can invade a country and change its laws, why can't we do it to Bali?
STUFF 'EM!
The time she has spent in Bali prision should be punishment enough. Send her back to Australia and forbid her to come into Bali again. She is innocent of this and whoever belongs to the drugs should be the one who is punished if that person can ever be found. The death penalty or even life in prision seem to be quite harsh. Send her home to her loved ones.
Why would you try to smuggle grass into Indonesia from Australia. I was under the impression that drugs are worth more here than in Indonesia, so the theory of the baggage handlers warrants a closer look.
Hang in there girl I believe you.
