Schapelle Corby, 27, wept as the verdict was announced in a case. She could have faced the death penalty, but prosecutors requested a life sentence.
Quote:
Corby could have faced a maximum penalty of death under Indonesia's tough anti-drug laws, which do not distinguish between marijuana and harder drugs like heroin or cocaine. It was unclear if prosecutors, who had requested a life sentence for Corby, also were planning to appeal the verdict as permitted under Indonesian law.
That is petty and very ridiculous.. Very sad. The drug was is a fucking joke. On another note basically what they are saying is that in Indonesia there is no difference between smuggling in 9 pounds of bud vs. 9 pounds of smack?????

WOW, thats fucking brutal. I feel so bad for that woman.
Look at the poll for her sentencing:
What do you think of the sentence in this case? It's too harsh 70% It's fair 23% Undecided 5% It's too light 2%
thats almost as fucked up as her sentence...

Actually it's the best sentence she could've gotten. There's no way she was going down for any less than 20. At least she didn't get life or death. Now her lawyers can work backwards and try to figure a way out for her and this mess. I'm actually pretty optimistic.
The whole case speaks of a sham though. Not allowing or doing key evidence that would prove her innocence. This was her lawyer's first case. General ignorance by the Indonesian court systems. Just insanity. You only get seven days to appeal I think after your sentencing. What the fuck is that? Also if she appeals to a higher court, she could get the death penalty. Just fucking insanity.
The one thing I don't understand is why don't they drug test her? If she comes up negative, that'd be huge for her defense. And if she comes up positive, well... shitty I guess.

I say go in guns blazing just like in "Spy Game" with Brad Pitt. I know it's very disrespectful of the laws but fuck Indonesia, the US system is fucked but at least if you have a good lawyer you can get off without having to serve A LARGE PORTION OF YOUR FUCKING LIFE. And what is Indonesia gonna do? The Australian SAS will clean the fucking floor with those fucks.

Yeah, they don't fuck around, over there. Remember that movie, "Brokedown Palace"? Definitely don't try and smuggle shit over their borders. I feel for that girl and her friends and family.

You have to be pretty thick to try to smuggle that amount of drugs into Indonesia.
