First rule of law, take no cognisance of rumour and newspapers are just that and often planted by those who want a certain a certain mood of public opinion. This has no place in established justice IMHO
They was printing the transcript from the trial, they print a English version every day, how ever, you can not all ways believe what you read.
Wonderful, you have made a great conclusion. And so goes the whole scenario, who at the end of the day really knows. A great comfort in our jurisdiction is that such matters are taken into account and you and your family are by that principal protected. I would not step foot in certain countries in a fit.
But that should not in my view absolve us from trying to help our fellow country men who have erred a bit
It doesn't change the fact she was lugging an extra 4kg on top of the boogie board. Or do we overlook that.
I'm pretty familiar with a lot of stuff written about Schapelle Corby: this is the first I've heard of this embellishment: care to enlighten us about where you heard this? (P.M. me if you like).From what I hear she got caught because she did not bribe the customs people enough. Apparently, she put some money in the bag for the customs but somebody (baggage handlers maybe) pinched the money and she did not have enough cash on her to pay the bribe...
There's a lot of reasons why no-one in the public sphere (here or in Indonesia) is 'game enough', little of which in my opinion has to do with either her family or the media. The map is not the territory, especially when the map is drawn by the cannibalistic pigs who constitute the Australian media.Unfortunately for this poor woman she has drawn so much publicity through her family and friends selling stories to the media that no one in Indonesia is now game enough to "sell" her freedom.
Who knows, and frankly who cares.
