Corby's family last night issued a statement appealing to Australians to continue visiting Bali.

This is odd, because I think a boycott may be the only thing that has a chance.

[No Blue States]

I read that she claims it was planted, but even if it wasnt this sentence is absurd imo.

"Mr Percy yesterday warned that Corby risked having her jail term extended to life if the defence team appealed."

[Regulator]

I am responsible for my verdict to the God, not to the people

The assertion of all tyrants: "God chose me to own you"

One, but not the only, reason we have trial by jury.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

If you can't do the time.......

don't do the crime.....

[DTogo]

She should thank God she wasn't caught doing this in Singapore or she'd have already swung by the neck. Some people just don't get that what their culture/laws might consider "no big deal" is a big deal to others, and vice versa. Don't screw around on foreign soil.

[Rodney King]

Another reason why you'll never catch me in a non first-world nation.

I'm sorry, I think anyone who goes to any of these godforsaken countries is out of their minds. That includes Mexico and all of Latin America, Jamaica, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, any country in Africa. Sorry, that's just the way I've come to feel.

[ScreamingFist]

Freakin' sad. Blow up innocents with a bomb, go to jail. Smuggle 8 lbs of pot, go to the same jail, for 20 to life.

[ambrose]

9 pounds of marijuana would likely yield the same (if not longer) sentence under U.S. sentencing guidelines.

[LdSentinal]

This is why I don't want to see the rest of the world. Most of it is crap.

[Paul_B]

We have people here who serve 6 years for murder, and do it in humane conditions. This is an outrage.

[veronica]

But an Islamofascist "imam" there, connected to the Bali bombing, got only 5 years. Turd World justice.

[eyespysomething]

Someone tell me again how much time the Bali bombers got? 13 months?

[fso301]

I'd give her a urinalysis and if it came back negative would be more inclined to believe her story.

[NHAntiMassRedRebel]

Why don't they just cane her instead. Get it over with. It probably was planted.

God forbid it was a Muslim in Guantanamo. All hell would break loose!

[Robert A Cook PE]

Good example of Indonesian (Muslim) "peaceful" tolerance and civilization at work, eh?

Important safety tip-

Don't be a drug mule in Indonesia.

[Ditter]

Maybe she is guilty, maybe not. Now that you can't put a lock on your luggage when you send it through means any baggage handler can put anything in there and you wouldn't know. I'm not going to any 3rd world countries anyway. If she knowingly carried it into Bali she is an idiot.

[injin]

Corby should figure out a way to hang herself in prison.
Death would beat doing the time in such a rathole and her suicide would be such a powerful condemnation of Indonesia
on the world stage.
It's a pathetic situation , even the infamous Thai prisons
do not put women in with male prisoners and most foreigners
are in a separate division of cells within each prison.
Australia should formally demand a prisoner exchange on this one .
