Schapelle Corby - Innocent or Guilty?

[Honourable]

the family, can you name one of them that the police have NOT investigated, hell man if this is your idea of a lovely family, I would hate to run in to what you would call a bad family.
You talk about the media, hay mate, it was HER family that was SELLING the story's to them.

Pilots, I have seen the real Corby family, the one that the media will never show you, and they are great people. The Corby family have been subjected to a media smear campaign unprecedented in Australian history, designed to denigrate them in the eyes of every Australian.

Along with lies, rumours, and innuendo about their alleged involvement in the drug trade, part of this campaign has centred on portraying them as rough and foul-mouthed. So, whenever they have behaved badly in public, the media has made a point of showing this behaviour, and only this behaviour.

If I was under the stress that they have been put under, I would probably behave badly as well - the wrongful imprisonment of their daughter/sister, the corruption in the Indonesian legal and penal system, the failure of the Australian government (both past and present) to help them, and the frustration of having to sit back and watch the media sprout lie after lie about the family, with very little recourse.

The only Corby family member ever to be the subject of a police investigation into his possible involvement in the drug trade was Schapelle's father, Michael Snr. Schapelle's half brothers have had minor brushes with the law, we all know this, but their offences were not related to the drug trade, and both are now living respectable lives.

Not even Schapelle has been the subject of a police investigation, even after her arrest in Bali. Rather odd don't you think? If she really had been guilty of knowingly taking drugs to Bali, she would also have been guilty of supply and exportation of illegal drugs in Australia, and yet, no investigation of these alleged crimes here has ever taken place!

Mercedes, Schapelle's brother, Michael Jnr, and Schapelle's mother, Rosleigh, were privately investigated by Channel 7 for possible involvement in the drug trade, when Channel 7 were preparing their case for the defamation trial, but no link could be found.

Even when Jodie Powers claimed on Channel 7's Today Tonight show that there were space bags of marijuana all over the Corby household floor, claims which sparked the defamation case against her and Channel 7, not one single police officer ever came to the Corby household to check the claims out.

The result of the investigation into Michael Corby Snr's possible involvement in the drug trade - "Queensland Police has no evidence to link Michael Corby with involvement in the drug trade," a police spokesperson said.

I have copies of police certificates for each and every Corby (Mum, Dad, Mercedes, Michael and Schapelle) which state that they have no criminal record.

Finally, it is true that the Corby's have made a bit of money from some (not all) of the magazine articles about Schapelle, and they need it. It costs a heck of a lot to care for Schapelle in Kerobokan Prison - her daily needs plus doctor's bills, hospitalisation, medication, and paying for trips to and from Bali for Rosleigh, so she can visit and care for her daughter.

However, it is the main stream media, who have spearheaded the smear campaign against the family on TV, radio and newspapers, that have made the big money. The Corby's have shared none of this, nor would they want to. They just wish the main stream media would leave them alone.

Yep, always noticed that anyone investigated whether it be even just by the press, the assumption is always, 'where there is smoke there is always fire'; or "shoot first and ask questions afterwards'.

Anyway even if they were sloths, big deal, the way corby has been treated by inuendo and so called facts that would not stand up if properly scrutinised is wrong and the status quo of opinion here in Aus makes me feel ashamed.

Honorable, I am sure that if Kevy Krudd had read that load of poo you have just posted he would have you on his team as the top SPIN DOCTOR, you can not be for real.

 

[Honourable]

bohoooo, cry me a river. she should be happy she didn't end up in front of the firing squad!

Apocalypto, Ros Reines is an author, and gossip columnist. This came from her column in the Daily Telegraph on the 13th April 2010.

I have no idea whether Ros thinks Schapelle is innocent or guilty, as I do not know her, but from this comment of hers, I do know that she is a person with compassion. If only there were more like her in Australia.

Corby plea to SBY - Ros Reines

REPORTS that Schapelle Corby has pleaded to Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono for clemency on the grounds of her mental illness are timely.

Whether or not Corby knowingly smuggled marijuana into Bali, she has well and truly paid the price for any stupidity. Robbed of her youth, her looks and now her sanity, she will probably never fully recover from her experiences.

But she should be returned to Australia and at least begin the healing process.

Hang on here a minute, now you are saying she may have knowingly smuggled it in to Bali, mate she has broken the law of the land, they cant tell us what to do, WE CAN'T TELL THEM WHAT TO DO. GUILTY as charged.

I don't get this Pilots. How do you KNOW she is "guilty as charged"? Because she was found to be so by a judge who finds all those charged before him to be so?

I don't think I'd want you on my jury anywhere in the world, including here.

I continue to be surprised at the conclusions some people, with minimal information, can reach.

I also don't think you interpreted the post you are referring to with any reasonable degree of understanding.

 

[Honourable]

No Pilots, I was not saying that Schapelle may have knowingly smuggled the drugs into Bali. I was merely providing a comparison in attitudes between Apocalypto and someone like Ros Reines.

I have absolutely no doubt that Schapelle Corby is innocent, in fact, I don't think I have ever been so sure of anything in my entire life. Ros Reines, on the other, hand may have doubts, I don't really know.

What her short comment does show, however, is that she has compassion for Schapelle and believes that, guilty or innocent, it is time for her to come home to Australia.

I have heard all the stories of Schapelle's suffering from her family members, and I have seen her suffering for myself, and I tell you this, she has more than paid the price for 4 kilos of marijuana even if she was guilty, which she is not.

Only the heartless would condone leaving her there any longer, where she will most definitely die. She was given a 20 year sentence, when many others in Indonesia have received much lesser sentences for worse drug crimes, not to mention murder and rape.

Her sentence was a political sentence, not a realistic one, and if she does not return home soon, her sentence will become a death sentence.

In 9000 sleeps from now, Schapelle will either have been a free woman for several years, or she will have been dead for several years.

Pilots, the fact that you have said this proves, regrettably, how little you know about the Schapelle Corby case, and the Corby's.

What I posted is the truth, and as my name suggests, I would not lie, because honourable men don't lie.

I did not join this forum to lie to you people, but hopefully to educate you in the truth of the matter.

Now that I have 5 posts up, I am able to provide links, so I invite you and everyone else to check these two out, for starters:

Posting it twice doesn't give it any more credibility or relevence. Caught, tried in a legitimate court of a sovereign country. Found guilty, sentenced. Time to move on.

Yep

Have a look at the top right hand side of this post you will see that you have a PM, read it, then PM me your answer to that please, thanks.

Truth of the matter there was a big bag of pot in her bag and she was caught with it. All the conspiracy theories or twisting does not change that fact. As nulla said:
Caught, tried in a legitimate court of a sovereign country. Found guilty, sentenced. Time to move on.

 

[Garpal Gumnut]

I do wish people would stop resurrecting this thread, and let it filter out to an end naturally.

As a convicted criminal Ms.Corby is entitled to some privacy and respect from ASF posters.

She should be allowed serve out her sentence for drug running without all the unkindness that is directed towards her.

It wasn't my intention to post it twice, but being new to this forum, it occurred unintentionally. However, thanks for posting it a third time.

Yes - she was caught.

Yes - she was tried in a legitimate court of a sovereign country, however she did not receive a fair trial.

Yes - she was judged guilty, by a panel of Judges who ALWAYS find defendants guilty, but she was not proven guilty, by any stretch of the imagination, nor could she have been, because she is not guilty -
http://schapellecorby-simbasgoogleblog.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

Yes - she was sentenced, to 20 years, more than terrorists often receive - http://www.nzherald.co.nz/bali/news/article.cfm?l_id=432&objectid=10396440

Time to move on - you can if you want to. I, on the other hand, love Schapelle like a daughter, and I choose to fight for her freedom and her life. Thank God there are some of us prepared to do so.

Are you forgetting that she was caught red handed with 4 KG of marijuana at the airport......

please that's the fact... Guilty so you do the time as handed down by the court of law in that sovereign country.

SHE IS GUILTY!

I was under the impression her father is deceased.
Your battles on her behalf are admirable.

I have no doubt you will post it again in the same or slightly amended formats.
Your willingness to singlemindedly pursue a cause, your apparent obsessive faith and your readiness to overlook or side step the facts in your pursuit of your goal, reminds me of Don Quixote tilting at windmills.
Reality and the facts will not get in the way of your campaign to fight the false cause of this girl you "love like a daughter".
Your "love like a daughter" feelings for this girl appear to have to impaired your ability to look at the matter objectively and without emotion.
Caught in the act, tried in a ligitimate court in a sovereign country, found guilty (despite the court bending over backwards to hear evidence and wild conjecture and hearsay from all the conspiracy theorists) and sentenced.
It really is time to accept the facts and move on.
All the bleating in the world is not going to change the facts.
