It's amazing that we as a collective have allowed this sort of treatment of our brothers and sisters. What exactly are they trying to prove? I doubt they're society is any better because they caught this girl with marijuana. The most benign drug our planet has. I find it very hard for the people who point at her and say she in any ways deserves any sort of punishment. Yes, she may have made a choice, but this sort of punishment is out of whack. It's a matter of degree and just because you knew the consequences doesn't mean you deserve the punishment. Wrong is wrong, and we have to face the people who have us put behind bars. They claim we have the disease, but i disagree. I think the real disease lies on these very people. Who merrily prey on others.

I find it ironic, that you bring up "right and wrong", when it seems like, to me, the real story behind this is a father taking advantage of his daughter. What an interesting story this has turned out to be.

To explain myself;

Quote:

Schapelle Corby was the scapegoat for her father, an experienced drug dealer who packed more than four kilos of marijuana into her luggage and sent her to Bali, a new book claims.

Corby willingly took the fall when the drugs were discovered at Denpasar Airport in October 2004, leading to a 20-year jail term at the notorious Kerobokan prison, it says.

Mick Corby died from cancer in 2008, having always denied having knowledge of the drugs found in his daughter's belongings.

So he let his daughter take the fall for his cannabis? I cannot ignore how wrong that is. You would think that, as a drug dealer, you would want to AT LEAST protect the ones that you love, especially ones own flipping daughter. The fact that he would let his daughter go down, and spend all this time in a god awful prison in some fucked up country...that to me is just plain wrong, and it makes him seem like quite the douche bag.

I know it should be legal, and I know this should not have happened, if we are talking about justice. This father knows what the law is, having been in the game for so long. What a fucking asshole, to let his daughter do this for him.

She definitely does not deserve to be in prison this is one hell of a tragedy though. You can't write tragedy that is this poignant.

You are making an assumption that these wild accusations presented in this book are true. There is no evidence that Mick Corby was a drug dealer or had any links to the drug trade, according to the police who investigated the matter.

Numerous theories have been presented over the years to explain how the marijuana ended up in Schapelle's bag. It is easy, and low, to point the finger at a dead man, her father. This appears to be a work of fiction and just another person trying to make money off of and exploit Schapelle's terrible situation.

Well shit Veggie, can't argue with words like that

Your right, I was assuming that was true



All in all...tragedy
