Oh jayzoo.

Another Corby thread

Solly I leave for Kazakistan knowing that ASF will always manage to have stirrers posting, while I am away, and you sir, are one.

Well done.

Shapelle is a damsel.

She was set up by persons unknown, perhaps under the influence of chemtrails.

But for the grace of god there go any of us.

Thanks gg for the compliment, hope your trip and dash to assist goes well. If you end up doing a sector on a Tuplov 154 try and get a seat close to an exit row or at least close enough to the cockpit so you can use the rope ladder in the event of a runway
overrun. I'll look portside over Belmont when I can and post some updates as well when I can while you're away. Take care, have a safe trip, logon if you can manage it....
 
How many more times do we have to put up with pathetic protestations of innocence, being hard done by, being depressed etc, etc etc?
She was caught, tried and convicted in a court of law in a sovereign country north of Australia. The evidence against her was substantial and she was unable to prove her innocence.
When is the pro-schappelle corby faction going to come out of denial and give the rest of Australia some peace and quiet?
If she smartened up her act and kept a low profile, she would probably get remissions for good behaviour. If she fessed up and continued to behave she would probably qualify for a pardon.
What makes her so special, so different to other drug smugglers caught in the act, that she should be let off and given a ticket back to Australia?

The problem with that kind of thinking is it's filled with assumptions. It implies we (afp, kevin rudd or someone else) just has the right to waltz up their government and say "ok give her back to us now."

I cannot believe how many people fail to realise that australia and or other countries have NO legal rights in other countries.

Sure she's suffering in there and it's a waste of a life, but australia still has no say in their legal system.

Excellent point. I've never had any real conviction as to whether she was guilty or not. For sure, she was indicted with her family background, and has probably lost much of the original goodwill towards her because of the antics of her mother and sister.

But, for heaven's sake, if every depressed prisoner was released because they weren't happy, we could knock down the jails.

Reinforces my decision not to watch commercial television.

OK, if thats the case should we bring all our drug runners that are in the slammer over seas home???:banghead:, what makes her so special:cool:. She broke the law of that land, the longer she stays in that hell hole, the better. The publicity that the drop kicks who sport her, give her, may help stop some other dumb drug runner from having a go. How ever, if they do bring her home they could have her in the same jail as her brother:eek:.

Nothing personal Boobby but i'm sure you were an active poster on the last thread claiming her innocence and campaigning for her release. "Retired copper, tough on criminals, blah blah blah". Give it a rest.
 
The media only feeds us what they want us to hear
Not interested in Schapelle

It wasnt the first time she had been to Bali and wasnt for the beaches either..
She knew the rules...

Yes I do hate her, I HATE any one who has any thing to do with drugs.

She was the one who committed a crime against Indonesian law, she must pay for it now, only 5800 sleeps to go and she will be home.
If this stunt don't work, wonder what the next one will be.

It was a kangaroo court over there, she didnt have a chance, I still dont know for sure if she was guilty and neither do you, but in any case 4 years in that hell hole is enough, if any heroes here would like to try it I'm sure you'd end up crying for your mummy too and probably a lot sooner than she did.

Even if she is guilty let her do the time here now.

How to survive an Indonesian jail

When he was released after serving 11 years in Indonesian prisons on drug charges, Christopher Parnell was lucky to be alive - literally.

One violent skirmish with a fellow inmate over food rations left Parnell on a slab in the morgue.

"I was pronounced dead at the hospital at 9am and was in the morgue until 2.30pm.

"Someone came to wash my body and prepare me for a funeral and they felt a faint pulse.

"They persuaded a doctor to re-examine me and discovered my heart was still beating."

The first Parnell knew about it was when he woke up in intensive care.

Nine days later, he was back behind bars.

The 52-year-old grandfather, who now lives in Portarlington on Victoria's south-west coast, tells stories of Indonesian prison life that would frighten anyone - especially the nine Australians facing drug charges in Bali, and their compatriot Schapelle Corby, who faces a Balinese court today.

Parnell was arrested in September 1985 while holidaying in Bali with his wife and young daughter.

12.5 kilograms of hashish were discovered inside statues in the hotel room of a friend.

Parnell maintains he is innocent and says police mixed up his fingerprints with those of the friend.

He was convicted during a drawn-out court process.

Prosecutors asked for a death sentence, but Parnell was given a life term, later commuted to 20 years. He has written of his ordeal in a 2002 book, The Sunday Smuggler (HarperCollins).


He said money and cigarettes were essential commodities on the inside.

"I wouldn't share a cell so I paid 'gratuities' for my own cell and an electric light," he told theage.com.au.

"All that was in the cell was a cane mat, aluminium plate and mug.

"To get a mattress, you had to get permission and a doctor's letter.

"If I wanted to go to the toilet, I had to find a jam jar or coke bottle, only the Muslims got buckets."

Parnell tried to escape five times and was severely punished, serving a total of four years in solitary confinement.

On one occasion, he spent three and a half months naked and handcuffed with his hands behind his back.

Parnell paid for extra food so he did not have to suffer the standard "starvation" rations.

But another prisoner's hunger led to the fight which almost proved fatal to Parnell.

After getting into fisticuffs with the prisoner who tried to steal his extra food, Parnell awoke in his cell the following morning with a mob of inmates standing over him.

He was stabbed repeatedly and lost his left eye, spleen and part of his right lung.

When he returned to Australia, he discovered he had contracted Hepatitis A, B and C from blood transfusions after the attack.

But he counts himself lucky his blood was not HIV-contaminated.

Parnell served his time in five different jails in Bali, Java, Madura and Jakarta.

A year before his release, he suffered a stroke and was freed in 1996, after continuous lobbying from family and friends.

Parnell had words of warning for the alleged Australian drug smugglers whose futures rest in the hands of the Indonesian justice system.

"Don't bad mouth the Indonesians, don't seek publicity, keep it low-key," he said.

"If you get thrown in for a long time, learn the language, learn about the culture, religion and beliefs, and use that knowledge.

"If you have got money, that helps a lot, start carrying cigarettes and getting to know people."

Sadly, there are some in society who wouldn't see this as a joke; rather, their opinion :eek:
