is schapelle corby really guilty?

Question

aparantly there is a story on "today tonight" where one of her friends dobs her in for the drug smuggling. What do you think?

Answer 1

Yes I believe the evidence is stacked heavily against Schapelle on this!
Talk to any feds- Bali has long been known to be an easy entry point for getting drugs in. It has only really been in the last couple of years, with all the terrorism-related hype, that their screening has been stepped up. The marijuana commonly available in Bali is meant to be of shite-house quality- so Aussie hydro is worth big bucks there (especially selling it to tourists)- surprise surprise Schapelle's sister lives there with her Balinese husband, and would no doubt be aware of the money earner it was (being in the tourist trade after all)
I believe the obvious reason Schapelle hasn't pointed the finger at anyone for giving her the drugs is because her family are behind it (namely her sister)- and she's loyal to a fault. Mercedes mustn't sleep very well at night(but no doubt better than Schapelle does in her cramped, putrid, Balinese jail-cell). They probably got away with it many times before, but it was inevitable that their luck would run out eventually. But of course, this is pure speculation on my part!
Fact:The Corby family have had long and suspicious relations with the drug fraternity in their past and in recent events, the younger brother recently participated in a violent home invasion where he stole MARIJUANA- and was caught, charged- and convicted, I believe.
I had to laugh at what his defense was- "he was stealing the marijuana because he was so angry about what happened to Schapelle, that he just hated dope and wanted revenge on dope dealers!" The police and the judge laughed too, I suspect.
Yes yes, i know having druggie family members doesn't alone make you guilty, but Schapelle's claim that she'd "never been around drugs, ever, and knew nothing at all about marijuana"- well as soon as I heard that I thought "liar liar". Especially given her father and sister are both self-confessed former tokers! And what Gold Coast teen or 20-something hasn't been around marijuana at some point? Especially those attached to surf culture?Doesn't mean they've all smoked it, but at the very least, they knew friends or somebody who did! Her saying that was simply implausible.
Oh, and here's food for thought- you're a regular surfer, you regularly throw your board over your shoulder in its bag on your way to the beach. It is light weight (boogie boards aren't very heavy) and then all of a sudden, you pick up your bag at the airport to fing it suddenly feels and weighs differently-many kilo's heavier in fact! You'd think you'd notice that, huh? Not our Schapelle!
So to discount her guilt, you'd have to instead believe in the "total conspiracy theory" of her innocence. The whole set-up, I-was-framed thing. Seedy QANTAS baggage-handlers, corruption and cover-ups at every turn. Sorry guys, but I just don't buy it. Anyone who thinks that is plausible is naive indeed!
I would love to see a legitimate lie-detector test performed, on Schapelle, Mercedes and Jody. One performed by an F.B.I expert or similar. Those results would be very interesting. At the end of the day, like another poster said, if you are found with drugs on your person, it is up to you to prove they are not yours, not the other way around. Do you think all of the foreigners who are busted at Sydney airport every year with drugs on them/in their bags etc could ever use the defense"I was set up! The drugs were planted by baggage handlers in ......." I mean, seriously, that would be a laughable defense in any country. And while I don't agree with the ridiculous severity of Indonesia's drug laws, especially in comparison with their weak terrorism laws, their laws have convicted her and accordingly, she is a convicted drug smuggler. Having an "air of naivety" around you- created very much by the Corby circle and the Australian media- doesn't make you innocent.
Lastly, if Schapelle had been a 40-something year old non-photogenic woman under the same circumstances, do you think this would've got the same level of media attention it has generated? Would Australian's everywhere even be having this debate? I think not! But hey- you be the judge, right?

Answer 2

I don't know if she is guilty or not, but I agree that the sentences for drug offences are too severe in Asian countries, and judging by the number of people who continue to commit drug offences, it seems that these harsh penalties do not have the desired effect of acting as a deterrent.
The people involved in these crimes seem to think it is worth risking death or life imprisonment for the possible financial gain.
I do not in any way condone drug offences, however, I believe that offenders should be extradited to their native country for punishment.
If Shapelle's brother planned this and she took the blame for it, then I feel sorry for her, and think little of him.
What sort of a "best friend" would expose this to the media anyway? Who needs enemies with friends like that? Whatever she did, she is paying a very heavy price for it, especially in light of the fact that a certain model in a similar situation paid the right people a lot of money and walked away virtually scot free.

Answer 3

Guilty

Answer 4

How can any one with a brain still think shes innocent ?
The facts are there !
1.she was found with drugs in her bag! In any legal system you will be found guilty unless you can prove someone else put it there.

2.Circumstantial evidence, okay if you need more evidence then
- her brother is a convicted criminal durg dealer
- her farther is convicted drug dealer who lived next to the same person twice who was arrested for growing Marijana
- Shapelle smoked the drug she admitted...it
-she refused DNA tests on the drugs ! guilty why refuse ?
- now one of her closets friends is told the truth on their drug dealing and smoking family....

3.Shapelle and her family is nothing but a drug smuggling family who traffice drugs for our kids to die..if she wasnt a white young female rather then an asian or a middle eastern man then there wont be any support

HOW OBVIOUS SHES GUILTY

She deserves what she got.....

Her families made money from selling drugs now they make money from the media and fooling the Australian public

Answer 5

Maybe she is guilty, maybe she isn't, I think Schapelle Corby is the only one who knows the answer to that. I did hear ages ago that her whole family was involved in dealing drugs but you can't trust the media 100%.

Answer 6

Yes, I saw the add for that as well. I sort of think that if she was guilty, She would have said by now who gave her the drugs. I would have, even if it was my Brother or Sister or Mum or Dad or anyone... Then again I also wonder if she wasn't so pretty if she would have got any media attention at all...I feel sorry for her but really don't know if she is guilty or innocent, only she does.

Answer 7

i think to know dope is a plant not a drug
that only a lie of deeming by section can make a plant a drug ,a plant that has never caused a death ,that is destracting us from real drug deaths [legal ]perscribed drugs causing ''adverse'' reaction kills 3 jumbo jets wort of people every day [nexis mag]

that if i sold willow bark as asprin i would be classified as fraud ,but law can claim a whole plant to be a drug ,and then call [deem ] the plant a dangerious drug ,despite the thc being present in 15 vegetables , only hemp is claimed to be a drug

that there is reasonable cause to suggest the dope was planted and that bring drugs tio there is like bring in g tea to china
the drug law is under the same fraud as the arms race ,that we can be tough on drugs just as we get tough on terror and the commies and the nips ,its easy to lie about threat then to be tough on drugs

the whole drug thing is fraud in affect /cause reason and beatup it is how we crimminalise one percent of our children each year 20 out of 21 plead guilty having a permant record for life ,it is clear beat up but admitting it was fraud is something no leader will do
that till people staert saying proove it nothing will change
one in four drug users was abused as a child yet every policeman has busted a druggie very few a child molester
i could go on about the how of hoover ,dupoint and of herst paper fraud and the medias lies but to what end ,it will just be written iooff as paranoia ,the whole is lie from beginning to end but there will be no end to it
it is the tree of life se rev 22 it has 30,ooo industry uses including oil ,plastic ,paper mcleaning up polution the list is endless ,making feul you can eat ,cook in or heal arthritus ,but when the time to tell the truth .

Answer 8

I will have to watch that.... I really always thought she wasn't guilty, as the evidence was erased at the airport and all that, but I would always be interested to see her boogie board carrier before and after there was 30 kilos or whatever it was of marijuana in it, and wheteher you could see or feel the difference in its weight and appearance..... even if she is guilty, the sentence is too harsh, people who shake babies to death etc. only get a couple of years...She was so upset that it didn't seem she could be guilty, and unfortunately, everyone forgets all about you when it isn't one of their own family rotting in a foreign jail.

Answer 9

guilty i say. we can always wait for her sis to take the lie detector test hey.waiting waiting waiting. i wonder how many others will now come forward.
