For me, my faith in any legal system was shot dead and buried when I heard the verdict of 20 years was passed down on Schapelle Corby for her alleged importation of 4.1 kilograms of marijuana into Bali. Now you either believe she did it, or she didn’t, and I believe that she didn’t. Why? Because nobody is going to buy 4 kilos of pot in Australia and take it into a country where you can buy it at a 1/10th of the price! It just doesn’t make any business sense at all, not to mention common sense!
For my part I believe the drugs were planted on her by corrupt baggage handlers who use baggage as their transportation mechanism. The Australian Federal Police were already investigating a crime ring involving these workers before Schapelle was caught 8 moinths ago. Yet none of that was taken into account by the Indonesian judges. It disgusts me that Schapelle who was an unwitting mule, will now lose the prime of her life to an Indonesian prison.
Justice was not served with sentencing Schapelle to prison, and neither will it stop drug trafficking. Considering the ringleaders in the Bali Bombings of October 12, 2002 got 2 1/2 years for the murder of over 120 people, it seems that justice is the furthest thing from the judges minds. All this sentence was designed to do was destroy one young girls life – for nothing! And that is the biggest injustice of all in this case!
