Now come on....
how dumb could you possibley be to just put it in your surf bord bag?

come on now people think!
a drug dearlers in movies......all that trouble to hide what it is
on the news with drug busts.....all hidden in videos, tin cans ect

if you were going to try to take anything into another country without anyone knowing wouldn't you at least hide it?
not just pack it.
 
I'm with Bryony on this one!
Innocent......... and if you dont know why.... sheesh! read a newspaper!
-H
 
I think she might be innocent, especially after all the hype with smuggling racket at QANTAS.
 
Anyone can say thier innocent once the buble has burst .
And Nephrurus like i said i am sick of all the news relating to her :roll:
 
Hey look, those of you who have'nt been overseas in a while may well talk about the locking bag defence and such and such.... Anyway, any overseas flights require the removal of all locks from bags before they go on the plane. Otherwise they just snip them off when they go through the xray machines. I had to take them off my bag when i went to Laos and my friend had to remove them when she went to Canada.
If she had indeed locked her bag and was found with dope that she'd locked in there, i think that would be fairly damning evidence. Seeing as she had an unlocked bag and with the current revelations about the dodgey baggage handlers and all i'd say she was innocent (just my opinion).
-H
 
why would she take dope to a country where it is dirt cheap to buy????? innocent all the way but im sick of the coverage also
 
she may be innocent, and i believe she is

but man am i sick of all the hype! i dont listen to the radio, dont watch tv, dont read the newspaper but i still know everything about this!
 
RE: Re: RE: Schapelle Corby

thanks jonathon, specially when she would make heaps more money from it over here, if she got caught with it here she would have got 18months jail not a chance at life in prison. but everyone is entitled to there opinion and i9 hope she gets off.
 
RE: Re: RE: Schapelle Corby

Dober I was with you at first, but as per usual ya need to know the facts of a case before you assume anything, the media can portray her in what ever way they like, the only reason they are portraying her innocent is because as Darren Hinch said (even though I dont agree with other comments he made) she is young, white and pretty. If she was an Afgany or Asian do you think she would be gettin home supprt, unlikely unfortunately.

I think she is innocent however only for the fact that as mentioned you dont go into a country which readily has marijuana and ALL SORTS of other drugs widely available. I have been to Bali and know all to well what goes on over there..

As for locks on the bags, yes it is true in some countries they will not allow it especially the US, but even if she had a lock on it, there would still easily be an opportunity for the baggage handlers or anyone else working at the airline to snip it open.

To be honest even if she is found guilt there are 2 more avenues for appeal, so this could go on for years guys.. get used to it..
 
RE: Re: RE: Schapelle Corby

I think it was for her personal use :wink: :lol: (jokes)

The locked bag thing doesn't work as Nephrurus has said. Not that I've ever gone overseas :cry: I've heard so many times from people who have that if you want your luggage in one piece keep it unlocked. Locked bags bring about suspicion, unlocked bags however can leave you open for having stuff planted on you! - you can't win!! I personally don't think she'd be dumb enough to just try and walk a drug like that in for the sake of simply selling it! I reckon she is innocent.

The worst bit about it is now the Indonesians have got themselves a considerably large media coverage highlighting something they have always warned tourists about! They may even have a world stage! It might now be a golden opportunity to show overseas travellers who want to travel to their country that if you are caught bringing drugs in you are not going to get out either from gaol or alive! :? That's a scary thought! Especially if she really is innocent! :?
 
RE: Re: RE: Schapelle Corby

Good old Aussie Hydro is not available locally in Bali. The tourists dont buy from locals as thats how you get busted. Drug dealing in Bali is run from the top. Expats deal to other expats and tourists and they dont sell local weed. They sell hydro from, ooh lets see now, Australia? Its sells fro more than its sells here.
 
RE: Re: RE: Schapelle Corby

It's pretty clear that she is innocent. Not even the most empty headed lunatic would smuggle dope out of Australia and into Indonesia, especially in such an absurb way. It would be like smuggling chondroes out of Australia and taking them to a country where they are worth nothing but owning them will send you to your death.

I'm amazed that the Indonesian government hasn't very publicly screamed "Wow, we don't know what on earth went wrong here. We love you, here is a million dollars for your trouble". Perhaps they haven't noticed that tourism is the backbone of their economy and treating Australian tourists like this is going to cost their country insane amounts of money in lost income. It also strains their diplomatic relationship with Australia, which would be bad for them if our government decides to cut back on the millions of dollars in foreign aid we send them each year, despite the fact that extreme hatred against Australians is common in Indonesia.

They should be in damage control after tourists have been scared off by angry mobs of protestors burning Australian flags etc, the Bali bombing etc, not sending out a message to the world that they'll send innocent tourists to prison, or to their deaths if they manage. Yes, she is white, young and pretty, this gives her unfair sympathy, it also makes the Indonesian government look worse, it's stupid politics, but it makes what they are doing even worse for themselves.
