True.

I'll leave with a wonderful example of the arrogrance that the Australian media displayed toward the whole thing, it's also conveniently paraphrased in the thread title:

"It's time to bring Schapelle Corby back home".

Since when does Australia have any right whatsoever to decide when people are released from Indonesian, or any other nation's gaols?

I'll grab my coat...

When did you become an Indonesian judge ?

Guillty means she goes home when they say so.

I pay the right amount of money to the Indo Guvmint to keep me away from judges.

After 20 years I would suspect she will be released and not before.

Too much shame brought about by the media frenzy for otherwise.

Unless you have new evidence then she is guilty.

Around the time of the outcome of the case, there were more Indonesian law "experts" than there are horse racing "experts" on the first Tuesday in November. Anyone with more than one semester studying law could have seen through all of the criticism leveled at the court. It was pathetic to watch the media become Corby's cheersquad, with views that ranged from xenophobic jingoism to outright arrogance.

It's amusing to see the difference in reaction by the Australian public between Corby and the Bali Nine, a case where the AFP sent Australian citizens to the gallows. Yet everyone still gets frothy at the mouth about the great "injustice" done to Corby. Spare me.

FWIW, I don't think anyone should spend 20 years in gaol for importing weed, but it's their country and their laws.

Excellent post McLovin

Off topic - interesting that the mention of drugs was in the paper, and now Schapelles name comes up.
Whatever happened to Nun, he always had a comment in here

You are obviously infatuated with Corby. Does your infatuation extend to any members of the Bali Nine?

Infatuated, she is younger than my own Daughter so look at her as that. She is one of our Australian children, influenced in her upbringing by all of society.

The case yes, all wrong and no backup from those that could have helped.

Dope was planted and innocent from the start but the Indonesian authorities can only go by what they saw at the time and act within the perimeters of their laws. So not blaming them.

Tonight's news is welcomed by those who believe in a fair go and there is a good chance now that by the grace of the Indonesian President, Corby will now be paroled in due course.

I'm with Burnsie here!!

I'm afraid though, I'm despairing at the thought of seeing Mercedes Corby (remember her?) and her mother back on our screens.

Maybe we could chip in to send them to Bali to go surfing??:p:

Actually I think she wil stay in Bali on parole, as her family are there.

It will be interesting to see how the media treat her when she gets back. Will she be a. "our girl Schappelle, innocent victim of a biased and racist foreign legal system", or b. "a complicit and knowing link in an international syndicate of drug runners who got what she deserved" ?

Which line would sell more newspapers do you think ?
 
A 37 Minutes segment is a dead cert, and a book deal will be on the table. Schappelle was never going to serve out the full term. Now let's see how the Bali 9 go.

Proceeds of crime ? She may not get anything.
Move overseas and do it from there ?

It was my understanding that she has to admit her guilt before being eligible for parole. To do this, of course, would reduce her story value to the media as the innocent victim.
