Schapelle Corby

[SIMON]

I havent seen you guys talk about schapelle once, She is a local Gold Coast boogy boarder, It might meen shit but you guys should put a petition together or send her some words of encouragement from the burleigh cam surfers or something. I believe she is innocent and something needs to be done to try and save this girl.I appreciate that we need to let the indonesian government do there thing but schapelle needs help.Do any of you guys actually know her or anything?
What thoughts do you guys have on this topic ?

Barto.

good point i was actually going to bring up the same topic. i think the government needs to take a bigger role in all of this. our relations with indo should be at a point where we can have an active hand in a court case involving an australian. we worked co-operatively to nab the Bali Nine (of whom i have no sympathy for) so surely we can help in the defence of corby. as for her innocence or guilt i dont think u can really be sure. there is so much coverage of the case that we get a pretty good picture of the key evidence being presented. and from that i personally still have no idea whether or not she is guilty or not, but most things point towards her innocence. i mean she had the stuff in her bag and i hav heard rumours (!!!I EMPHASIS THAT I AM NOT SAYING THAT THIS IS FACT!!!) that she deals gear around the tugun area. but on the other hand why would u import stuff into an area that has so much readily available stuff for a fraction of the cost u would pay here. its not profitable and the consequences (death or life imprisonment) far outweigh the benefits (not much). also i think the interstate drug smuggling connection is definitely plausible. so with all that doubt, that everyone is aware of, certainly for her to be convicted and sentenced to life would be unfair, in case she is innocent. i admire ron bakir (correct name???), the goldy businessman who took an initiative and got vocal in trying to defend her. im just dissapointed that the government hasnt done the same thing, if not defend her then at least take a more active hand and make sure she recives a fair trial, and is not made an example of by a balinese judge.

[Joshstar]

i agree tottaly. i myself can not work out why someone would try and import it INTO bali, makes absolutely no sense. its complete and utterly pointless. you would make no profit in fact you would lose money, its just ridiculus. i belive she is completely innocent, however if shes found guilty im 99% sure they wont put her in front of the firiing squad. its taken a long long time to work our relationship back with bali after the bombings, i dont think they would throw themselves in that predicament. the 'Bali Nine' i wont even go into, absolute idiots. what makes it worse they were trying to get heroin in, not something more minor like pills.

[yewwww!]

bali has already ruled out the possibilty of putting her infront of teh fireing squad. but she still does face life. and yes, with her taking all that weed into bali, she would of lost about 15 grand in profits to what she would of made if she sold it here. make and sence???? why take it there? i beleive she is innocent.

[what_a_bogan]

thats somebody i know's sister. The one in bali

[SIMON]

The prosecutors are not asking for the death penelty but the judges can still pass that sentence down if they feel neccessary. The news i have seen after schapelles final plea is not very positive for her as one of the judges has said that her plea on thursday proved nothing. There is still a chance she will cop it.

[muggo]

the courts over there seem pretty dodgy... there is definitely more than reasonable doubt that she didn't do it, if it were here the case would be thrown out for sure. On top of that, during the earlier stages of the trial youve got local balos at the windows holding up signs about her guilt etc. how is that a fair trial? Then theres the absurdity of a bomber getting 2 years jail and shes facing life... I know its their way of doing things but fark!

[Booger]

I hope the Bali 9 rot in jail.

the government has finaly got there act together
FROM SKY NEWS


CORBY CASE

Attorney-General Philip Ruddock says he is hopeful of reaching a prisoner exchange agreement with Indonesia soon, which could apply to accused drug smuggler Schapelle Corby, if she is convicted by a Denpasar court.

They dont give a shit about the bali nine though
BALI 9
Indonesian authorities were tipped off on their alleged activities by the Australian Federal Police.
:D

[Slick]

I hope the Bali 9 rot in jail.

ur a cockhead.

no matter how guilty or stupid they are u dont spray other aussies that are in shit as deep as they are whether its here in australia or overseas. its un-australian.

[0->--<nug]

the reason people would be taking hooch into indonesia to deal is because the weed in indo is week as piss and has no affect if you smoke it because it all comes from india...... weed in aus has 10 times more the affect..... and people pay good dollars for it..... so yeah there is a point to weed dealing in indo and if she is a dealer around the goldy.... she probably did it..... but i dont agree with what is happening to her its fucken bullshit!!!!

[betelnut]

this is like the azaria chamberlain case all over again - everybody seems to have definite opinions on it and it's promoting talk wherever you go and i've seen arguments over it a few times. i've heard a few rumours aswell about shapelle's local activities but in any case like this there are always bored and lonely people who like to make up stories about people to make themselves seem intelligent or that they have secret info. Most of the time it's just that - unsubstantiated bullshit. (but maybe it does have some truth???) it's a bad feeling when you find out you've been conned and that's why people automatically jump to the negative perspective.

The truth of the matter is this: nobody really knows the story at all.

We are all basing our opinions on what we see in the media (which often is only half right as the stories are always 2nd or 3rd hand and subject to the chinese whispers syndrome) and from what we also hear from the local rumour mill (see above.)

if she is guilty then she is every bit as silly as she is arrogant in trying to pull off such a foolhardy scam particularly when airports are on high alert for terrorism.

if she isn't guilty (and there seems to be a fair bit of info to suggest that maybe she isn't) then this is a terrible travesty of justice which could do real damage to the very shaky relationship between our governments. And if she isn't guilty and is just a poor unfortunate wrong person in the wrong place, imagine if that was you and how would you feel? I know i'd feel pretty shithouse, doing hard time because of someone else's scam or stuff-up and bored and lonely people everywhere are making up bullshit stories about me so that they don't feel they've been conned.

either way, the most important thing here is for all of us to be careful of our opinions, as we really don't have enough of the story to form one. And it is of utmost importance that she at least gets a fair trial and we can only hope that whatever decision is made it is the correct one and that they have based it on all the information and that they have carried out a full and proper investigation to establish all of the facts.

The bali 9? probably just some stupid people that made a stupid mistake. just like when you shoplifted something and thought about it later and thought man, that was a stupid thing to do for the risks involved. if anyone is going to be made an example of, it's these guys. shapelle's probably lucky that these guys got busted and the judges might go a bit easier on her now.

[SBL]

When the bombing happened in bali all you would see in surfing and bodyboarding magazines for the next 6months would be go to bali and help get there economy back into normal because without the tourists going to bali they will lose all their jobs and money and stuff. We cared for them soo much brought health back into their country and now that an AUSTRALIAN carrying soo much dope in a fucking bodyboard bag gets caught there is no fair trial there is fucking nothing but i have thought about this. Australia has a way better airport system with bag checks and shit than bali ever will how could she get that stuff through our customs without it even being noticed i mean think about it if they can pick up a thumbtack stuck in the bottom of your shoes you think they could find like 4kg of marijuana in a bodyboard bag.


anyway thats my 5cents and i think bali has just fucked itself in the ass with australian tourism.

no matter how guilty or stupid they are u dont spray other aussies that are in shit as deep as they are whether its here in australia or overseas. its un-australian.


Shut up cutting you poof. It's un-australian to bring crime inot another country. As well as that she now makes that corby girl look even worse. I dont wish the firing squad on them but i hope they are sentenced life to prison for being so dumb. Who would try and smuggle drugs into a country with all of this corby stuff. Also cutting you poof are you saying if some terriost from australia does something its alright because hes Australian. I can hear the cricket club calling you.

[Joshstar]

nah i agree let them rot.
its heroin, would waste so many lives here. let theres waste away.

2 things: he;s got a point there cutting
other thing: thats a shit call booger - bout the cricket club...

anyway yeah its fuckin dumb what they did, but they had lived pretty messed up lives. like if someone said "oi wanna earn big bucks and travel overseas" i'd be like fuck yeahh!! then i'd suss things out because its obviously something illegal.. they said that they didnt know what it was until they got over there which is a crock of shit, passports dont get organised in a week unless its really urgent and really suss... but yeah anyway they're stupid, but they should've been arrested in australia so there wouldnt of been all this dilemma and worry about firing squad and shit...

[Ron Jeremy]

yeh i agree fuck 'em. schapelle corby is most likely innocent, ya dont smuggle drugs into bali ya smuggle them out. bali has been a heroin smuggler's route to Australia from the middle east for decades.

[muggo]

it was only for like 5- 10 grand each, piss poor price for death or a lifetime in jail... coupla hundred or more, could understand why theyd take the risk but not for that little

[Ron Jeremy]

damn smackies. its funny how the media calls them the 'bali 9' sounds like theyre almost trying not to identify them as being Australians.

[exbunobooga]

Im 50/50 as to her innosence. Through the grapevine I have heard that her brother is a dealer, this is coming from someone who knows him. Now this could be a big load of shit but after the stuff ive heard im not too sure anymore. Also from what I have been told her bag weighed the same at check in as it did when they found the herb. Youd think the aus would get her out though. Shit that fvckhead who blew up that club only got a few years

[yewwww!]

the courts over there seem pretty dodgy... there is definitely more than reasonable doubt that she didn't do it, if it were here the case would be thrown out for sure.

yeah well the cout system there is based around the principle, guilty untill proven inocent, unlike in Australia its inocent untill proven guilty. so if you acting apon the assumption that someone is guilty the who time......... i dont really think its getting a fair trail. my opinion anyway.

[WJB]

I hope the Bali 9 rot in jail.

Said well.

[studog]

If yar a moron then yar a moron. Doesnt matter about the country. If ya wanna break another country's laws at da risk o death, yar a fool. Bali 9 or gorby-fuck ya.

true, but as they are australian they should be trialed on australian laws and courts, e.g. no death penalty just life imprisonment or somthing like that. similar if we had a situation reversed and 9 from bali got caught in australia, they should be sent back to their homeland and dealt with there by their own country and their own laws.

[HKS]

i agree with cutting

[Fisheye]

I disagree, if they want to take the risk then they can handle the justice. They should be charged for where they commited the crime. For example if some taliban fella blew up the Gabba in a grand final we wouldnt send them back to afganhistan to get trialed. As if you would, they would give him like 3 years.

I think the death sentence is harsh but imagine all the overdoses that would of happened from the drugs they are importing.

I think its un-australian to traffic drugs therefore they shouldnt have the privledge of australian justice system.

[Booger]

As fisheye said DIE BALI 9 DIE.

[HKS]

i spose but then again if u sent a terrorist back to afghan after he blew up the gabba they would probly praise him.

[Ron Jeremy]

thats the point. what do ya reckon the reason was that the aussie police didnt get them before they left the country? or wait until they entered the country and do them on aussie turf?

[HKS]

because the Australian Feds are sneaky little fuckers.

[d]

because the dude that sussed them out got all excited and wanted to take all the glory for himself the bastard...

[Ron Jeremy]

i thought it had something to do with aussie/indo relations... how jhonny wants to be friends with indo and let the indo's get the coverage for catching the crooks

[d]

hmm good point there ron... you might be right? i dunno there's prob a million different stories going around...

[yewwww!]

i heard the most interesting story on the weekend off someone who works for qantas. im thinking its the most beleivable out of all that ive heard. im not saying anything but. i suppose no body knows what actully happened so i doubt there is any more truth in this one than in the others.

[Ron Jeremy]

tell us anyway then

[Gary B]

Why wasn't the board bag inspected here in brisbane or in sydney...If you've ever travelled with a board bag by plane you will know how much they like to check em out. I have been stuck trying to process bags for over 2 hours once and that was to travel to perth, not even international. I reckon its a rort.
Bali 9 - well aint dey fucken idiots.
10k is not worth dying for...not even worth the 8-15yrs you'd get here if they made it onto the plane. Dickheads the lot of em...only hope the cunz that set it up get caught as well cause the plebs that are the "9" are just the grunts

[Jb]

Look..
Schapelle Corbys Guilty
Bali Nines Guilty
They should all die under Indonesian Law for being so Fucking Dumb

yeh they deffinately do check your board bags. I got caught for smuggling 11 bb guns all in my boog bag, back in at brisbane. (yes it was a stupid idea)

[Gary B]

tch.tch.tch

I always take cable ties for my board bags when travelling or good locks for the zippers. Never know what the &#70;&#117;&#99;&#107; can happen to ya gear.

[muggo]

did ya get fined or anything jb? if youve got a lock on your bag what do they do about searchin it?

[Booger]

They call you up and ask for to unlock your bags
such a pain in the ass.

i heard that someone from qantas got fired...he worked in the baggage check area and security and he was accused for drug smuggling down in sydney (or NSW).... that was on the news on the radio this morning

[Gary B]

Qantas are in deep shit with there security arrangements in there international terminals. Heard there's an AFP investigation and that over 15 people are to be sacked straight up with many more to follow...
May ol Corby is a helpless victim after all.
