Schapelle will be hooking into a bong of the good stuff not long after she hits the tarmac in OZ, she is still pretty hot at forty too. a few kilos as I remember, and she could have got the death sentence. She got off lightly. A few kilos of something that would get people stoned. Tourists, mainly. And the government just wants to appear tough on crime for something that they have a problem with locally. Indonesians like to overcompensate. They will gaol murderers for 5 years, and then execute them. Corby, whilst justly convicted, was on the receiving end of 20 years (reduced to 12) over something rather minor. She might as well have taken the firing squad, as her life is now over as far as motherhood, or having a normal life. But, then again, she still has her 40s to look forward towards. Your stupidity knows no bounds. There is no stoning in Indonesia, let alone stoning for gang rape victims, and possession of kilos of marijuana is not considered a minor crime in Australia or Indonesia. And they werent "tough on crime" in sentencing Croby, they were actually lenient you idiot.You have now made a number of statements each of which has been wrong. Anything else you want to be wrong on? I think all that junk food is rotting your brain. 12 years in prison for smuggling marijuana is strict and heavy-handed sentencing no matter where you get caught. . you dont seem to be getting this, she could have got the death penalty in Indonesia, so based on this, 12 years is not strict and heavy handed, its lenient. Get the comaparison? Death or 12 years. Which one do you think is the most heavy handed? Have a think about it. No... YOU are not understanding the point. The point being that convicted to 12 years in prison for smuggling in a drug that is widely available (though heavily punitive) in Indonesia is ridiculous. ANYWHERE. And though I might have sounded sardonic about Corby's life being over due to her not being able to have children (though she still can), it certainly is over the top to do 12 years prison. Anything over 5 years gaol for what she did would seem excessive. I am well aware that Corby could have gotten the firing squad. But it was her connection as an Australian with Australia that kept her alive. And I think that 4kg of marijuana is not serious enough to warrant the firing squad. Still, you would not want to face so many years in gaol over something that is not so harmful.
