If you listened to what the judge said.
The prosecution stated that they had proved their case that she had imported the drugs.
Fact, even if she knew nothing about them she still brought them into the country, so that is why she was sentanced.Do the crime/ do the time.

If drugs were put in my lugauge without my knowledge, i would want to be let off.
I agree if you knowingly trafic (bali 9) you deserve to rot in hell.
But being an unsuspecting tourist (not saying she was), a victim of some halfwit bagage handler who missed his bag of grass stashed in your bag.
Thats just not right.

some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs
I've got to have my say here. A body board weighs what a kilo? A kilo and half? How do you not know somethings not quite right when with FOUR and a half kilos of drugs in the bag it's around 6 kilos!!! Plus as someone has already said she's pretty, does ugly corner the market on drug smuggling?! I know one thing on my travels around I've been pulled out and searched more so when I've been in suit and tie than when I've been casual and now I've read what I've just written I've no idea what the relevance of the last remark actually is??
The heading of this topic ' tears for schapelle', I think she cried enough in the last 6 months for all of us. Anyone who has been and experienced the Indonesian way would of expected nothing less, it may suck but thats the way it is in there country.

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
only a couple of people know the truth & maybe it will stay
that way maybe not if she was a victim hopefully the truth
will come out or she was taking some good stuff to her relo's
over there (doubt it, is she that silly)no real attempt to hide
the pot. baggage handler well who knows if so "scum"
indonesia is a big threat to aust better to have them as allies
kid gloves, actually better than america & look how our gov
suckes up to them.
she has been to Bali a number of times she would have known that these things happen. where was the lock on the boogie board? Isn't it common sense when travelling to overseas countries to lock up your bags?
Saying that I do feel sorry for her and that fact that the sentence does not reflect that of there own people who can kill numerous people in a bombing and get the equivilent of a smack on the hand no justice there no matter how much you rationalise it.
it was pretty conveniant that the person who planted the pot knew to take a bag of pot that could fit into a bodyboard bag... it was the perfect shape for the bb bag .. shitload of stash too.. not just coincidence.. on the other hand i don't think she deserves 20 years, just a couple of months in a bali jail wuold be enough, then send her home.. i bet she wouldn't do it again.
i know from experience (drug dealer) that 4.5kgs of marijuana is a hell of alot and if it was placed in her bag conviently then the guy that put it in there must take a bodyboard to work!! ahahahaha doubt it
it aint just cool its aircool'd
The judge in her case has had 500 trials ever one with a guilty verdict!!
( true it was mentioned on radio national) What justice is that?

When you’ve traveled a bit, it’s not difficult to imagine yourself in her situation. If she is telling the truth, then it’s a very sad story indeed. I’ve had my baggage tempered with, i.e. the lock ripped off, somewhere between London – Bangkok - Sydney.
Australia should stop any aid we supply that country.
she is innocent, they have destroyed a beautiful young womans life.
shame on that country

How do you know she is innocent??? I'm not suggesting she is guilty as she dosn't look that stupid....but like the judge said...you have not proved that it was not yours. Simple. When the appeal is heard they can add their own evidence to prove it was not her stash then she will be set free. If she can't prove it was not hers then she is in the shit...big time. Why should we stop aid??? I'm sure if the tables were turned and it was a Balinese person caught in Australia you would have no sympathy...and possibly not believe the story they were telling. It's all judgement by media. They found a "poor Aussie girl" and jumped on her side straight away and without knowing all the facts, set out to make her the victim and it worked. Ratings went up. I hope if she didn't do it she gets home quickly.If she did do it she should rot.

I accept all major credit cards (and also some of what Schapelle was carrying)
" You're not a team player "
I think her Mother needs a good Slapping.
She carries on like the Australian Government put the Drugs in her bag.
The Drugs weighed 3 times more than the Boogie board, so how could she not know they were there?.
BAJA NOW FITTED WITH A FULL FLYING REBUILD
Well, when you think about it, if she did really traffic drugs, then she should go to prison for quiet a while. Imagine the number of lives that would be ruined by the marajiuana from the smoker's addictions. Such drugs can easily cause death etc. etc.
Hence why sentences towards these drug dealers are quiet high, cause like the bali bomber, a drug trafficer could kill and destroy many lives from the drug dealing.
Come to think of it, from what we have seen on the news, it has been SUPA DUPALY BIASED. I have not seen any reports at all (from memory) from the prosecution side and their opinion, only from Corby's.
Hence why many are thinking that she is innocent.
hmm, the media is a very powerful buisness. Control the media, control the mind. And control the public's opinions and views. VERY POWERFUL.

ok...if u were listening to much of todays reports, and previous ones, the first thing u would know is todays outcome was expected...a given. the chief justice has never let anyone off, and corbys lawyers based their arguments on emotions, not legal facts. What they presented in most case was hearsay. The pros. team had facts. Her BB bag had drugs. plain and simple.
Having said that, some importnat things that her team shoudl have presented, but didnt were
1. Her father packed the bag and loaded/unloaded it onto the belt. She did not touch it at any point from hom to airport.
2. Her brother picked it up from other end, and put it onto table. Not Corby.
but for some reason they did not ask the father or brother to make statements. I guess they felt that the family woudl be seen to be lying for her, or perhaps it placed them at risk.
Also, no lock was on the bag. i only travel around country, and I always lock my bag. If i were to travel overseas, I's be gladwrapping the damn thing. Maybe it looks silly, but it means its not my bag their tampering with.
As for the size of the bag, heaps of ppl travel with them. I know, I've picked Big A up from the airport enuf (especially with delays) and watched tehm load/unload planes. So it would have been just a matter of waiting for one to come thru.
And, at this point, it was known that the verdict had to be guilty. ALso a given that the high courts, and supreme court will say guilty. Unless new evidence is bought forward.
However, when the appeals process had been exhausted, then she can apply for a presidents pardon.
I bet that is where she will be sent home (if not thru the prisoner exchange) She will most likely be asked to pay a fine, pardoned, and sent home, never to return.
Why, the court system is legally based The president does not need to rely soley of legalities. he can bring into account other matters, such as 'likelyhood'.
And if u think our system is fool proof, compared to theirs......what about lindy chamberlain? Whether u like it or not, when everything was presented, the picture of gulity wasn't as clear cut as originally presented
And I know of other cases where innocent ppl have been accussed wrongly, because corrupt officers have a 'gut instinct' and make statements fit for a guilty verdict.
In fact, I know of a district DOCS office, where the whole a intake team was dismantled, and every case they have handled for 12 months is being reviewed, because they were considered 'gun hoe' Since then 90% of their cases have been overturned, because reviews suggested most parties were innocent. 90% people. That is HUGE problem. The office is considered one of the worst in QLD, and in AUST.
These ppl pushed cases before court.....based on falsified information, and had children removed. Families broken up. Wives leaving husbands. For what?? Because an officer said so
So is our system better???
Might be me, but i learnt aust court system is not always better. Just different.
dubless. 🥲
🥷 And who the helled parked the Mitsubishi "Prancer" under my house??? 🥷
Matt is sooo right about the media. I feel real sad for her. I think the media have turned the thing into a circus. The live thing today left me really cold. Bit like the new millenuim version of a 16th centry pubic hanging. Bit goulish. They have had the spot light right on her and the verdict was always going to be what it was.
But what about the other approx 150 aussies sitting awaiting trial or worse in Indo jails.
yeah well what can you do
call me paranoid but i went to melbourne on a big silver bird the other week for a funeral n i got the old luggage locks out and slapped em on our cases..
only done it on overseas trips but now well you cant seem to trust anyone anymore so on they went for domestic travel now and always..
now how am i gunna lock my mal up when i head to the southern swells in june?

Bali AND Australia failed Corby, whether she is innocent or guilty. She was either VERY stupid or thought she was VERY smart. I, being an Australian, will give her the benefit of the doubt in this case as the evidence against her was ZERO! I actually feel quite disillusioned now because I thought that we Australians were humane, diplomatic and rational. We embrace all religions without prejudice, we fight to release immigrated detainees, we dont even like to see whales killed for gods sake and we help ANY country that needs it.
I dont remember ever seeing a court case in Australia where we clapped and cheered for someone who is sentenced for life, because thats what 20 years is, to live like an animal when evidence against them was nought. The Balinese authorities handled this situation VERY badly and as such, it should have been thrown out of court. One of the Bali Bombers received 2.5 yrs?? Whats the go with that??
....mental note to self; never go to Bali.......
I haven't been to Bali since the bombings and all this but I remember it being an awesome place with very friendly people. I can't say whether she is guilty or innocent, and it must be the amateur historian in me but I don't see the point in running around saying "she's innocent! innocent!" or vise versa. This is because none of us have the full story, know all the facts and evidence to make a proper decision/opinion on whether she is or is not guilty. The media won't tell us the truth, just look at my thread about the body in the roof to see that. It is also unfair to expect the government to interfere in another country's affairs and legal system- no matter how corrupt it SEEMS to us. Imagine if it was the US trying to interfere with out legal system, we'd get shitty about it. Sure the govt can help out, but they can't just pluck her out of there, as many would like.
It is a diffucult and problematic issue and I truly feel sorry for her and her family if she is innocent.
THe MC Bat Commander's motto: "Never do now, what you could do for 24 hours straight, all night, the night before."
I've done 5 surf trips to bali,had a bit of trouble the last two times and was thinking about taking my young family over but i think its not worth it.I hope she knows that Australia is right behind her

Have you seen the dumb bitch from the bali 9?
Mooooooooooooo
hey man she lived near me
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
One man's junk...
guys i dont feel sorry for her reason being is shes lying to all of us and continues to do so... think about the real people behind bars in other countries that are really innocent
some facts:
shes an ex call girl
her family are all into drug dealing
how i know this are from sources very close to me
anyways im sick of hearing her name:cussing
Agreed. No one knows if she really was guilty or not.
The tsunami appeal has nothing to do with the decision of a few judges in one of many countries which were affected by it.
Jon
exactly how can we as a country tell another country how to run its justice system
its bs how everyone is saying lets boycott bali or lets get our aid back
WTF?
all for 1 person and to top it all off shes guilty!
Sure its unfortunate she has to rot in a Bali jail but hey she may get to be transported here
why is the aussie govt giving so much support that they dont give to others? think they may know something we dont?

I don't give a shit about the media or what anyone else thinks I think she is innocent and I think it is horrible she got a 20 year sentance. She must be thinking her young life is over now, it's very sad. I don't like John Howard very much and he has been sitting on his backside quite a bit but he has to be careful the this situation if you think about it. If he got mad and started slagging off Bali then he would have no 'bargaining power' with the president of Bali.
Just one more thing, I am never ever ever ever going to Bali in my life!! I just feel sorry for the people that live there
