I think you will find that a lot of people think she is innocent. Just look at this thread and the number of people blaming the baggage handlers.

Yes, I think she's innocent too.

However, if she walked up to me tomorrow and confessed to the crime, my reaction would still be exactly the same: nobody deserves 20 years for a cannabis conviction.

I don't care if it's 4 kilos or 4 tonne.

The "law" is an ass, in Indonesia.

Is that what it was for? Because using cannabis (or having some on you) and getting caught is different to be convicted of smuggling drugs.

I admit that I never really paid much attention to this case apart from knowing it happened and some of the rumours that surrounded it. But 20 years for drug smuggling doesn't sound to out there.

Really? If you murder someone in Indonesia you get life, real life not 7 years. I guess you support lenient sentences for criminal.

I'm talking about the law relating to cannabis.

I said the law is an ass, not the laws.

I don't support lenient sentences for murderers, so your guess was wrong.

I do, however, support lenient sentences for people caught with cannabis.

Yes, that's exactly what it was for: cannabis .

She was convicted of smuggling cannabis.

And I don't care if she smuggled 4 kilos or 4 tonne: nobody deserves 20 years for smuggling cannabis.

For someone who gets very technical with legal language you seem rather imprecise in this case. Was the actual substance a factor (cannabis) or was it drug smuggling that was the issue?

You may say;

"I don't care if she smuggled 4 kilos or 4 tonne: nobody deserves 20 years for smuggling cannabis."

where the law may say;

"I don't care if she smuggled cannabis or crack: she deserves 20 years for smuggling drugs."

Nobody deserves a 20 year sentence for a cannabis conviction. Smoking, possession, smuggling, or otherwise.

People were saying the same thing about being fined for being 1kmh over the limit, your stance then was da law is da law. You were banging on that everyone knows the law, that ignorance is no excuse, that it was your own fault if you broke the law. No correspondence entered into.

How wonderfully malleable your convictions are. Cool
