I've just been looking at http://www.dontShootSchapelle.com where they are raising money for the reward. It looks like some pretty big people are starting to throw their support behind Schapelle Corby, even in London. This is such a tragic story but it is good to see Australians coming out of the woodwork everywhere to support this girl.

According to the website you posted, the theory is that professional drug smugglers disguised as baggage handlers planted $36,000 worth of marijuana in Australia (where marijuana is expensive) in order to smuggle it to Indonesia (where marijuana is cheap)?

THAT's the theory? THAT makes sense to you?

Furthermore, they placed this "pillow-sized" stash of marijuana into a boogie board bag, which is not that much bigger -- and she didn't notice the difference?

And this stash weighed 4 kilos (nine pounds), twice the weight of her boogie board -- and she didn't notice the weight change? (Carry a 5-pound book bag around, then let me add two 5-pound bags of sugar and tell me you wouldn't notice.)

Here's a kid with a boogie board, and a board with carrying case. 4-5 pounds of styrofoam, tops.

Due to the sloppy procedures, she may end up getting off. But she is guilty.
