I agree with your final statement. Absolutely.
I ask though did you mean your earlier part of this statement, that you couldnt give a toss or was it a heat of the moment thing?
Would you not 'give a toss' about someone that say held your loved ones hostage for money or if one of your loved ones chose to rob banks for a living?

I dont know if Corby is innocent or guilty. I say the media attention is OK. Society apparently accepts that pretty, young people attract the accolades of media generally. And I say its OK in this case BECAUSE it serves to show others that you can end up in deep sheet no matter how pretty you are, and sadly if you are not pretty and young, your fight is probably harder because media will leave you alone. Such is the injustice for the unattractive in society.
 


Excellent post Nun
 
Seems she might be the master actress

Schapelle Corby fine, says Bali prison doctor
SCHAPELLE Corby is not showing any consistent signs of abnormal mental health and the report claiming she was "insane" was based on a one hour interview and untruths, her jail doctor says.

All through this the Indonesians have been coping it. Yet as cruel as they supposedly are they seem to have allowed Schapelle a lot of slack.

30 cones a day is not that much to a full time dope smoker. It's 3 an hour for 10 hours. Very doable.

So, no, don't giggle. Weep :

By the way, i was just sarcastic in my post when i said it was for "personal use".

So far so good, but if she is back here how can they keep her for so many years if murderers get less?

As opposed to the corby propaganda machine.

Make over, day trips, special treatment... I know it’s a hell hole in the prison but her family’s new found wealth has bought her privileges. I doubt the other prisoners are treated as well as her. She could have brought freedom if they had not acted like a bunch of monkeys in the first place.
 
How much time would she have got in Australia if she had been caught with the boogie board at sydney airport?

Sad thing about Asia is that the penalties for drug related crimes are just over the top.

The reality is that people take risks about transporting drugs for one reason or another and sometimes they get caught - and getting caught in Asia with even a small amount of drugs is doubtlessly a nightmare.

Msr. Thaksin in Thailand was famous for his 'war on drugs' which turned out to be literally a war in which thousands died: summary judgment was applied with lethal force, not by the courts, but by the police and military.

Perhaps it would be better to establish world-wide standards for penalties relating to drugs.

When I consider how the Australian police allowed the others to go to Bali in full knowledge that they may possess drugs is reason enough to allow Corby to come back to Australia to serve her sentence.

To ignore the pleas of a father in preference to seeing a group of young Australian face the death penalty is a choice that only the brain dead could make.

Law enforcement agents here have a duty to do a better job of detection on the outwards side our borders too.

Maybe they just get lazy working off information from other agencies rather than doing the 'hard yards'.

My experience tells me that Asia customs are lazy and if they got Corby, then it would more out of either good luck or by way of a tip off.

I think she's guilty, but the punishment does not fit the crime.

•cannabis resin 0.5 kg or more but less than 2.5 kg
•cultivation 20 or more but less than 100 plants
$50 000 and/or 10 yrs imprisonment

I am thinking a fine of $25,000 and maybe 12 months suspended sentence for a first offence.
 
Hey Guys,

I just caught up on all the hundreds of posts ... boy... what a marathon. You might want to know the answer to your question when you booted ZackW.... he took all his pseudonyms over to the facebook site and Rob Baiton's blog .... He has many identities... should have called himself wacko jacko... and has been busy recruiting new nutters! He trolls my name so I suspect he will be back... he's a cyber stalker and anyone who disagrees with his point of view gets venom spewed their way.... it's quite vile.

That's an irrelevant question. Bali is not australia. Just because we're australian doesn't mean crap in another sovereign country. One must obey the local laws.

Whether we agree or disagree with these laws, bali has the right to enact their own laws and legislation.

It's no different when a thai lady comes into australia with heaps of spices and we confiscate them and then give her a fine for not understanding the local law here.

Admittedly it's not drugs, but the principal still applies.
 

Agree on the sovereign situation. But it is still hard to reconcile that even if the thai lady was found with drugs she would still only get a fine with perhaps a suspended sentence or maybe even just sent back home. And, has been trotted out many times, even when the evidence is clear that journalists were murdered some years ago in that place by the military, nothing happens.
 

Is ZackW still about?

In the old days someone devoid of wit, grammar, spelling, syntax and humour used be given a pick and shovel to play with, instead of a qwerty board.

Ain't teh internets grate.

The burning question of course is, did she in law under the Westminster system all evidence is properly tested and doubt goes to the suspect untill all proofs are concrete. This was not the case and there is good reason to suggest that many others were responsible for the grass in the bag, including her sibling who in that instant she may have instinctively hesitated (fatally as it has proved for her) to protect.

Very rough justice and amazed that the Australian authorities have not at least worked for some pardon or had her transfered to a jail here where she would at least be treated in the way we should expect our own to be.
