From another website...

"On Schapelle Corby - One piece of information which has not got into the media is that Miss Corby was under surveillance by Australian Customs for a considerable time before being arrested in Bali.

Her mum "talks the talk" of crims, and it would be interesting to know, but for Privacy Laws, what mum's past is, too. Suggestions that the drug smuggling ring among airline baggage handlers had anything to do with the marijuana found on Corby are ludicrous. First, it has not been suggested that they ever trafficked in marijuana.

Second, it is well known that the locally grown marijuana in Bali, fine for hippies in the 70s, is now very inferior to the hybrid forms - skunk - growing under lights in double garages all around Australia, where it is being used by many to pay off mortgages.

Consequently, there really IS a demand up there in Bali, among Australians, for some "decent grass".

Which puts paid to the lie we are asked to believe by those who ask the "why would Schapelle risk all taking coal to Newcastle" argument.

She was carrying a very superior "coal" you cannot obtain up there, but which she could have sold up there for a handsome profit.

Lastly, after watching a couple of local TV shows painting Miss Corby as a modern day Joan of Arc, I noticed that not one of these shows addressed the critical evidence against her, which, to my mind, is that when she produced the bag to the Customs Officer, and he made to open it, she placed her hands on his, as if to prevent her bag being inspected, and said "No". This is on videotape. This is potent evidence that she knew there was contraband in that bag, and therefore evidence of mens rea, & all but conclusive. Notwithstanding that I believe she is guilty as sin, I hope she gets acquitted. But that is not going to happen anyway. regards, HH"
