Well the verdict on Bali prisoner and defendant Schappell Corby has shocked some and left some others feeling she should have received a life sentence.
Today Corby received a 20 year sentence and a $14,000 fine passed down by the three Indonesian Judges. Immediately, the Prosecution stated that they would lodge an appeal asking for a Life sentence. Obviously not satisfied with the sentence today..
Well it's time for the aimchair legal experts, observers, and friends to have a say. The TV and radio news today in Australia is running hot with their lead story on Schappell Corby. Everyone has an opinion on her guilt and innocence.
Standby for the book and the movie..
I'm amazed that the Bali bombers received sentences as low as 4 years and this girl receives a 20 year sentence for carrying - alledgedly - marijuana into Depensar airport.
Guessd the one question un answered is why anyone in their right mind would carry marijuana into a country where it is freely available at a tenth of the cost in that very country.
And it is available everywhere over there and very cheaply - cheap like everything else accept freedom it appears...
The only sensible thing that I have heard today is a comment that we should stay out of the country Bali. Avoiding Bali at all costs seems a sensible approach whilst corruption appears so rife in this country.
Just my $0.02 worth..
Anyone else followed this. What are your thoughts.
