Clearly the fact that her bags could have been interfered within Australia combined with the fact that it would not be financially viable to sell drugs acquired in Australia, makes it very unlikely that she knowingly transported drugs.
it is obvious that Shapelle is innocent and the Australian public know it. The Australian public also know how much aid we send to Indonesia. Surely our Government can put some pressure on tne Indonesian government to assist Shapelle?
I have recently visited Bali and saw the jail. Not even in my wildest dreams could I imagine the conditions Schapella would be living in. It is disgusting to hear Indonesians saying that she deserves the death penalty when Abu Bakar Bashir has only a jail sentence. Shame on you Mr Howard and shame on the Indonesian legal system. I wonder what little Johnny would do if it were a member of his family????
Making 'an example' of Schapelle is not only an appalling hypocrisy, it is an act the Australian people will never forget. And as for our flabby Government... strap some balls on, Downer.
How low can a Nation of people stoop, when the citizens are screaming in the streets for an australian suspects death without proof of guilt. Wake up Australians, lets stop supporting this aggressive neighbour until it begins to act in a humane manner.
3 years for Bakir Bashir the man behind the Sari Club bombing and possible machine gunning for Shapelle - despite a clear lack of evidence. Don't even talk about respecting the Indonesian 'legal' system. And we all thought Bankok Hilton was just a movie.
indonesia should look and smell at the hands that feeds them. and give up this joke, or they will be faced with the biggest natural disaster their pityfull world has ever see ( man made )
Let justice prevail & incarcerate the guilty. Shapelle should suffer no more. She is clearly innocent & I implore our government to intervene & bring the guilty to trial
I understand we must respect the Indonesian legal system, as we would expect ours to be respected by other countries. Surely, however, we must insist on the admission of evidence from Australia, especially when there is so much doubt surrounding this case. How can we let an Australian be victim to such a barbaric and inequitable legal system without some intervention from our government?
Considering that convicted terrorist
Abu Bakar Bashir has only been sentenced to two years and six months jail
(with the prospect of appeal) for his proven 'conspiracy' participation in
the Bali bombings that killed 183 people, in the same country, it is
inconsistent and absurd that another person should face the death penalty
for allegedly smuggling cannibis into the country.
Schapelle it is clear that you are innocent and it is not right for you to be in this situation. Many people in Australia are praying for your safe and soon return home. Take care, it's very sad to see what is happening to you. We all want justice and to see you free.
My question is where are the baggage handlers that worked at the airport in both Queensland and Sydney on the day and time Schapelle Corby was checking in? Please keep your good work in protecting innocent people in situations like Schappelle's, it could have been anyone of us!
Schapelle is innocent, anyone can figure that one out. This is a political game, at the expense of an innocent person. We have prayed for her, and we believe God will answer our prayers and she will be freed soon.
I bet if she was a dignatary, that she would be freed without question, but then that would mean that someone would have to say that she was, an important being. OMG who is important and who is not????? Lets chalk it up under the subject of MONEY.
Shizer Indonesian govt bastards. They have the gall to act all high and mighty in a case like this after the Australian people gave over a BILLION dollars in aid to them after their tragedy. What a world!
It is disgusting to think that this case has gone to court with the comedy of errors that have occurred in the collecting of evidence.
She has been let down in every way by the australian government. It seems that Indonesia are wanting to make an example of her despite the lack of convincing evidence.
This woman could be your sister or child - she needs to be supported.
Why would somebody with no criminal history try to smuggle a large bag of drugs in the most unsophisticated way into a poor foreign country where it loses 75% of its street value? This case is a joke. A conviction will show the corruption of the Indonesian legal system as they have no viable evidence or motive.
I implore President Yudhuyono to overturn any adverse judgement in this sorry affair, & return an innocent human being to her family. The evidence (against Miss Corby), in this case, is so weak, as to be totally laughable. In any other sane place, it would not have gotten to court in the first place.
Shame Indonesia, shame.
P.S. John Howard has again proven his cravenous attitude to ordinary Australians, (& his cynical & divisive politics) by not stepping in to stop this bastardry. (No excuses please.) But then again he is a bastard. Maybe we can shoot him instead!!!!!
I believe this woman is innocent. So should you. Surely if I only read newspapers and can come to a conclusion that she is innocent, you can decide this in a courtroom? For the sake of an innocent person, wake up, stop dragging this out, and send the poor girl home.
PLEASE FREE SCHAPELLE!!.If i believed in God i pray for you,but i dont.So i send you the Biggest and best wishes from mine and my families hearts.Thinking of you Always.
Come on West Aussies sign up and lets help this girl get home.
after what those bali bombers did, and that got away without capital punishment, shame indo, shame.what about your relief aid and militrary support, come on howard, stand up howard, sort your shit out!!!!
Where is the Australian Government and what are they doing to bring Schapelle Corby back home to Australia this is disgusting and barbaric. So much for the Australian Government helpping there own. So comming on free Schapelle Corby bring her back home!!!
An Indonesion prison is not fit for criminals let alone an innocent girl like Corby. Her being set up is as obvious to the world as asian corruption. Once again these people are showing there non willingness for real justice. Indonesia is a discrace to human respect. Howard, get off your ass, the good people of this country need a leader with a spine.
free the woman. a natural known substance that god lpaced on earth for us and you want to kill her for a mistake. Not saying it is hers but get real. We have people killing one another and they get locked up and even released in later years. we have those sick f%^ks who stalk little kids and they get jailed and then released. re-write the book of laws on this topic. We are all on your side. we help them for this tsunami and they wont help us by sending her home. we are the soft cock country that doesnt get a thank you. See you home soon.
An Indonesion prison is not fit for criminals let alone inocent people of another culture such as Corby. Her 'set up' is as obvious as asian government coruption. Get off your ass Howard, good people of this country need a government with a spine.
Give this poor woman a fricken go. that "MILLIONAIRE" was release for 'socalled' gun running...was it because he had money to pay off a CORRUPT Government????
This is so ridiculous.Free Ms. Corby. Try catching some real criminals. Like those that kill innocent people through their violence and ignorance and lack of respect for human life. Dont follow in their footsteps Indonesia!
Following this case from the UK, it is clearly obvious that the Balanese Police are desperate for a conviction whether it's right or wrong. This is shown with there reluctance to present evidence which clear her name.
FREE SCAPELLE AND RELEASE HER FROM THIS TORTURE.
Schapelle is innocent! She’s been to Bali many times before and has learnt about their tough stance on drugs. Knowing this, why would she be stupid enough to smuggle FOUR KILOS OF POT in a boogie-board bag? There are so many inconsistencies in this case. It makes me sick (and angry) when there is one of our own overseas potentially facing the firing squad for something she obviously didn’t do. Thinking of you Schapelle...
While I strongly believe Schappella had no part in this crime, it is a fantastic deterrent for those that might consider it. Do the crime, pay the time.
This should be the focal point for the Aust. Govt. one of our daughters is in the hands of a backward legal system - It's not difficult to see that she's innocent!
