Reasonable doubt of Corby's guilt exists. Executing her will only deter travellers to Indonesia, because the risk of imprisonment and execution for inoccent people is too great.
She shouldn't be executed for smuggling 4.1 kg of coke. If she murdered somebody she should face death but drug smuggling is not a capital crime. This is symptomatic of a country which has not yet cast of its facist military past (remember East Timor)
The death penalty should be reserved for solely for the crime of murder.
In the middle east its worse than indonesia where at least this poor girl is facing death for drug smuggling.She is wearing make up, dressing in sexy clothes and presumeably has a boyfriend which would mean death by stoning in Islamic dictatorships like Iran or Saudi Arabia.
If Al-Qeada had their way they would force everybody to submit to the same sharia laws.
We should be campaigning against all forms of extreme right regimes.
This is what Australians get in return for all the money we have injected in to a poor country's economy via the tourism industry over the years. 88 Australians dead in the bali bombings whilst the culprit gets off with a disgusting sentence of 2 or so years. And now an innocent young girl in jail.. Our soldiers and doctors tireless help to your country's people after the disasters in Nias and Banda Aceh. Thanks Alot Indonesia.
My heart truly goes out to Schapelle. Since the day this story hit the media I have never doubted her innocence. This could happen to any one of us or our family. What a tragedy. To me it is clear that this beautiful person has a pure soul and heart. Her emotions are honest and her pain must be enormous. I am not a religious person but I truly am praying that Schapelle is sent home to a country that believes in her innocence where she can rebuild her life - obviously with alot of support, love and counselling. This poor girl will never be the same again and that simply breaks my heart. Send her home and set her free.

You guys have no idea of justice, the whole trial is a media debarcal...a firing squad as punishment, for an obvious inocent!!! WTF. We should be taking back all those millions of dollars in AID and millitary involvemnt in the tsunami and earthquake relief. Get a legal system!!! Stop the corruption!!!
I connot belive in this day and age this is happening the bali bombers faced a better out look than schapelle and she is just being used as a scapegoat for all the rich drug pushers in the world let her go!!!!
this is bullshit at its best,all australians should boycott bali as from now,that bakir gets a couple of years for killing hundreds and corby may lose her life for something she not do,and she has not killed anyone.
Very sad story indeed, most likly have been done by bagage handlers. Why would some airports now consider to install cameras in the bagage handling areas. Free Schapelle Corby!!!!
Have I got this right ? Is Schapelle Corby a victim ?
I haven't been able to read any details in the newspapers that would allow
me to see Schapelle Corby as anything other than a victim.
With the lack of information relating to the trial, I find myself wondering
what's actually happened in the court room that would enable the people of that country to see
her as anything other than innocent, yet from what I can tell from the
media, they want her dead ??.
I have to assume, that part of the ability to find her guilty, would be to
establish that she's of questionable character. Have you read anything of
that nature ?, anything that may connect her in any way to the activities
she's been accused of ?
She's realised just how serious her situation is. Faced with the possible
horror of the outcome, she's now fallen in a heap physically and
emotionally, who wouldn't. I was stunned to see how she was being treated by
the media in the court room today, what a pack of animals. God, what if
she's innocent, do those filth have any morals at all.
It already seems they're going to jail her at the very least, but I fear she
could also be executed, which is horrific, if all they have on her is the bag they found at the airport. Also, it contained marijuana, not heroin for Gods sake ??
In this country, that wouldn't be enough, without a heap of other facts to establish she was a person of the kind usually associated with drugs. The
bag alone isn't enough to put anyone in prison, the incident at Quantas of
the guy wearing the camel head would be enough for her to establish
reasonable doubt, as it's now been proven that it's possible for your
luggage to be tampered with, which she's claimed was the case from the outset.
The media over there have been screaming for the death penalty. Can these be the same people our young servicemen died helping and we all contributed money etc to help follo
It is not logical to take locally grown canibus to Bali of all places where it is internationally recognised as being one of the cheapest places on earth to buy the stuff. Let common sense reign.
It is as obvious as the nose on your face that poor woman is innocent. Please let "them" know that a boycott of travel to and the purchase of Indonesian goods is gathering momentum in Australia
She is Innocent!, how many times have you gone to the airport, checked your bags in so they are loaded on the plane and never had a second thought what happens to them just as long as they dont get on the wrong flight?? So between the time you check them in and they are loaded on the plane. ANYONE could of tampered with them. Shes an innocent victim of some lowlife scumbag drug dealer.
Let her come home!!!
I will never travel to Indonesia...how can the prosecutor's let terrorists go free or give llight sentences and then want to murder an innocent girl ???? GET A REALITY CHECK!!
Justice system out of control - NO justice here. How can you give a few years jail to a monster who murders innocent people as a terrorist act and yet execute someone for marajuana - aside the fact i believe she is innocent and just an unwitting pawn caught in horrific circumstances - you people are out of control and need an overhaul on what you think is right and wrong. BALI/INDONESIA - NO GO NO MORE - I also implore our government to cease all aid to such an inhumanitarian civilisation - we feel for the innocent community over there that will suffer but we cannot be seen to be supporting that style of leadership.
What ANIMALS you are! Shapella has been treated worse then a dog for something she did not do. I expect you will want our help again in the next terrorist attack - forget it,do it alone this time. This is one family that will never ever go to Bali again!!!
Our Government should be ashamed of themselves, they are the criminals in all of this. How can they sit back and let Indonesia treat one of our own like this, after all we have done for their country too. Innocent or not, nobody deserves to be facing the penalty that she is for such a minor crime as is alleged. HURRY UP and bring her home you gutless morons. If it were their son or daughter i bet it would be a different story!!
the evidence indonisa has is not there. it is stupid for someone to get killed for another persons crime. also how would she of got the drugs out of australia someone had to of put them there and if they catch that person in whatever country they are from or in the should be taken to indonesia and killed
How are we ever meant to let our children travel abroad on an Australian passport if our politicians and our country are NOT willing to protect them from circumstances like this.
She's had enough, and so have we.
Please save this innocent girl. Please grant her a pardon as a thank you for all the help Australia has given Indonesia after the tsunami. Haven't enough lives been lost? It's seems so much more cruel in light of all the other innocent deaths. Please, please, grant her a pardon.
Australian policies need to be updated to protect its citizens such as the case of Miss Schapelle Corby.
These cases from Indonesia only proves how unsafe it is to travel to this country.
The whole region is proving to be an unsafe place to visit, especially with its corrupt justice system.
Why would anyone be silly enough to take drugs to Indonesia?,
and in a boogy board case as well.
If she is guilty she should be let off for reason of insanity.
And if she is not guilty she should be home in Australia
The best place on Earth.
FREE SHAPELLE NOW !!
She is INOCENT - Indonesia your evidence against he is non existent.... Until she is released, I will never step foot in your country AGAIN or spend another cent to help your economy..... wake up Indonesian people your government is backward and barbaric .....
IT'S A TOTAL OUTRAGE !!
Schapelle Leigh Corby should be released. What I can't understand if it's true, which it's not, how did she get out of Australia. Customs should have picked it up..........
Do not go to Indonesia - Stop sending our tax payer dollars Howard - boycott the country until Schapella Corby has been released. She is definitely INNOCENT!!
Schapella is innocent!!!send her back to Australia and find the real asshole who did this to her. They deserve to suffer not Schapella, FREE HER NOW!!!!!!!!!
I believe in giving someone a second chance. For something like this, there has to be some compassion. She did not murder cold bloodedly. She has had a big enough scare not to do this silly thing again, set her free, and give her a second chance. Let he who is without sin, throw the first stone!!!!
Free Shapella and let her come home. the crime does not fit the punishment. Where is the justice in the Indonesian system when the people implicated in the Bali bombing that killed lots of people, let the murderers go free and are not executed. If she is convicted, a lot of Australiansare going to boycott Bali as a holiday destination and Australia should not support and give aid to a country that treats Australians in such a barbaric way.
Please make sure schapelle recieves proper medical care After all didn't we raise money for better nursing care in Bali A very concerned Nurse from Australia
I just learned of this story tonight, and did some research on the news stories. I am thoroughly outraged by the way the Indonesian government has handled this matter. Even is she is guilty, which is highly questionable, she certainly doesn't deserve death. Indonesia's barbaric concept of punishment is completely out of proportion to the alleged crime.
Isn't if funny that we will hand money over, hand over fist when they are in trouble, and sacrifice our soldiers, but they are still quite happy to kill an innocent girl, on circumstantial evidence. What happend to beyond reasonable doubt...! I agree, Australia should be boycotting Indonesia, DO NOT GO TO BALI or any other part, stop giving money, let them look after their own..! Our GUTLESS GOVERNMENT should be stepping in and helping this innocent victim. IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANY ONE OF US..!!!!!! FREE SCHAPELLE
i just came back from over seas and i know how hard it was to get anything in to australia i would hate to think how hard it is to get 4 kgs of weed out
Please please listen to the facts, unless you can 100% prove her guilty you must let her go!There is so much to prove her innocence and so little to prove her guilty, please just let her come home to her family and get on with her life
As a PADI certified Diver I will make sure that the 3,500 + people in my SCUBA diving club are aware of this and many will not go to your country for the diving you have to offer...FIJI here we come!
Free MS. Corby!
JN
I can't believe that in this day and age so called civilised countries could have such a barbaric justice system in relation to drugs especially when killers are allowed leniency. We should all be boycotting Indonesia - ESPECIALLY OUR GOVERNMENT
Where is your compassion Indonesia!? Australia showed you compassion in your time of need in the aftermath of the Tsunami. Now it's your turn to show compassion. Show leniency to Shapelle Corby, DO NOT execute her! The crime does not fit the punishment.
This is not about one country telling another what is right or wrong, it is about standing up for another human, regardless of where they are physically in the world, we should do everything we can to stop the unjust killing of another person. If all we can use is our voice than that is what we will do!
Let Schapelle`s blood be on John Howard if she is put to death. This so called `God fearing` Prime minister of ours is a WIMP. Let her blood be on his hands and in his heart for ever.
She's obviously innocent. Is she being made an example of to frighten others? Even if she were guilty, does this punishment fit the so called crime? I think not.
Just look at how scared this girl is, that alone proves her innocence. How can Indonesion judges tell her not to stress when they may well order her to be shot!
I believe the Australian Government is more worried about the ties with Indonesia, I guaranteer you, if Howards son was involved, he would move heaven and hell for his release, regardless whether he was inocent or not.
