Their is a documentary on TV Ganja Queen

Corby is serving a 20-year sentence (for which she has received approximately one year in remissions) for the importation of 4.2 kg (9.3 lb) of cannabis into Bali, Indonesia. She was convicted and sentenced in Bali on 27 May 2005 by the Denpasar (Indonesia) District Court and currently serves her sentence in Kerobokan Prison, Bali. On appeal, her conviction and sentence were confirmed with finality by the Indonesian Supreme Court. No further legal manoeuvres on her part are possible; she may petition for clemency from Indonesia's president, but would have to admit guilt to do so.
Corby has maintained from the time of her arrest that the drugs were planted in her boogie board bag and that she did not know about them.[1] Her trial and conviction were a major focus of attention for the Australian media. Her current release date, with remissions, is in 2024.
In June 2008 in Australia, the Nine Network broadcast a two-part documentary which included an interview with Corby's former lawyer, Robin Tampoe, who said that the story of the drugs being planted in her bag was a fabrication. The lawyer later apologised to Australian baggage handlers.[2]

well, dont fuck around when your out of your country.. sucks its over weed, but 9ish lbs.. more then i can say is personal use.. so she knew the risk..

[theforthdrive]

hate to agree but come on....9lbs. even pressed thats an entire suitcase or more. I hate to sound skeptical but how does one have NO IDEA that 9lbs is on them? yeah, 20 yrs in thai prisons doesnt sound like fun, but dont play the game if you cant deal with the consequences. is anyone close to this case....not just watching the movie... and know that she really didnt know? and if so...HOW?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

They got it pretty much covered , what more can I add ?

Can't do the time ? Then don't do the crime.

You are going to last about 5 minutes here with an attitude like yours.
Grow up and realise that if you go to a foreign country then thier laws are sometimes not worth breaking , she took a risk for financial gain (I very much doubt it was ideology that drove her) and now that she has to pay the price she wants others to bail her out.
Murder is a manmade crime but I'm pretty sure 99% of the people like it that way. :thumbsup:

BTW if you wish to discuss a society without rules then I'm your man because I would kill for it...

Who is that directed to? Who is going to last five minutes here? You would kill for a society like that? WTF is wrong w/ you? You would like to be put in jail? What you are not a cannabis user? If so then why would you agree in such a harsh sentence? Did you watch the Documentary (Ganja Queen) that was done on this story? Don't do the crime if you can not do the time? Who the fuck gets 20 Yrs for an herb? You want to live in a society as such? Then go the fuck to Thailand? For what purpose would you like such a society? Man I seen this girls story and that is what she is. An attractive young 30+ yr old women in her prime... When she gets out she will be 50+ w/ no life left. The crime she committed she received just punishment? In Thai you can buy a KEY of H for 700 bat which is some shit like $100 dollars don't quote me on the exact figures but I have a neighbor who lived in Thai for over 5 Yrs... Wealthy family owns lots of business their corrupt as SHIT... REAL COOL FUCKING PLACE!!! FUCK THEM NEANDERTHALS!!!! BALI WHAT EVER THE FUCK!!!

Hey if you get a chance to watch ganja queen, you'll find it to be pretty god damn suspenseful. Well i guess it won't be very suspenseful seeing as you already know she is going to prison for 20.

9.9kgs of cocaine was smuggled into Sydney airport from Argentina on the 8th October 2004, the same day, within minutes of Schapelle Corby's flight to Bali. I think something like 50 baggage handlers were caught in this drug trafficking ring.

Corby's lawyer who said later that her story was a fabrication, but i tend to believe otherwise. Throughout Ganja queen you see this corby's lawyer, sometimes it appears as if she doesn't even believe in her client. My explanation for this is a simple one. Of course this lawyer is going to drag her client through the mud, the case reflected poorly upon her! This lawyer lives in a place where they put drug dealers to death. NO QUESTIONS ASKED

In the film you see the local reaction to Corby. Imagine a place where you DIE if you get caught with some cannabis. The situation in Bali was a nightmare, worse than the American paparazzi. They spit on this woman, and held signs proclaiming she be put to death and waved them in front of family members faces. Seriously more like circus than a courtroom (but after seeing our american federal court in action you realize that most forms of justice are more like a circus than anything else)

I feel wierd saying this but i'm glad i live in the US....


Cause sparkin this blunt :rastasmoke: in Bali could get me put to death by firing squad in Bali.
