"Uh, if the drugs were planted on her then how was she breaking the law?"
That is what she is saying. Go to any US prison and ask the inmates if they are innocent or guilty, I'm sure a good deal of them will say they were set up.
There are nine other Aussie who will be facing the same charges and a man from India who has already had his punishment - death. Drug trafficing is a crime that hurts many people. The drugs destroy families and communities, and the government is responible to stop it. So when in Rome...
Yes, there are many people who are guilty who say they are innocent. That does not mean that someone who says she is innocent must therefore be guilty.
As another poster noted, this is the same nation that hands out slap on the wrist sentences to those with guilty knowledge of the Bali bombing, an event that ruined a lot more lives than 9 pounds of marijuana ever could.
When Indonesia gets 1/10th as tough on Muslim extremists as they do on alleged pot smugglers, then I'll start believing in the integrity of their criminal justice system.
I do think the best lesson from this is if you're an Aussie, never go to Bali. Who knows whether the stuff was planted, so why take the risk of someone planting something on you?
