I'm scratching "smuggle marijuana into Indonesia" right off my "things to do" list.
20 years for 9 lbs. of pot.
Well, at least she hasn't been caned yet. Poor dear. She should learn to travel wisely.
I read that "good" pot is hard to find in Bali and the only people you can trust to buy from are Westeners. So smuggling in strong hydroponically grown dope has been going on for years and is big business.

It sounds as though they were allowed to present it however the judges didn't believe it.
Apparently, in Indonesia you're guilty until proven innocent beyond a reasonable doubt--and any evidence of your innocence will be discounted by the court.
WTF??? 9 pounds of pot, not like you can just hide that in your shoe or "forget" you had a little shake in your pocket. 9 pounds takes up some space. Sounds like she rolled the dice on a big payday and lost, IMO.
Remorseful, no doubt. Innocent, I don't know. My own gut is she did it without realizing the possible repercussions.
It was found in her Boogie ( surf board) bag. There is good evidence that it was planted by corrupt baggage handlers however there are still other factors pointing away from her innocence ( not least her family).
There are a lot of places in the world I simply don't want to go.
Finally, justice has been served. She got what she deserved. You smuggle drugs, you pay the price, it's that simple. She was caught with the drugs in her possession, and those naive people still think she is innocent, GET REAL! Drug dealers don't look like drug dealers these days...open your eyes

The Indonesians will trade for someone in the Australian jails. Probably some high level terrorist type. They picked someone that Australia would be unwilling to let rot. Anyone that has travelled in that part of the world knows damn well you don't try to get through the airport with 9 lbs of dope in your luggage in Indonesia. Everyone from Indonesia goes to Hong Kong to party with drugs for the weekend. Kind of like Amsterdam. Or so I hear.
Drugs are bad, um-kay.
