Schappelle Corby

Do you agree that Schappelle Corby should be extradited back to Australia. I have mixed feelings about her, i can’t tell whether this is just another act on her behalf to try and get back over here, or if she is really loosing the plot. What are your thoughts?.

    Renae Lawrence is the Bali nine girl your mentioning AliceJane, you make an interesting point about Schapelle not recieving any reductions like the others.

    I absolutely believe that she was guilty and deserved what she got.

    She still hasn’t figured out how the Indonesian justice system works, though. Every year, they have a national holiday (independence day or some such) and virtually all prisoners get significant reductions in their sentences. They actually make allowance for this when determining sentences. Sentences are very long to allow for these reductions.

    There is woman who was in the Bali Nine, who is in gaol with Corby and has received significant reductions every year. In fact, I think that she’s had her sentence reduced more than a year every year. Corby’s continued denials and general attitude has meant that sometimes she has been virtually the only prisoner not to get a reduction, or to get only a minimal reduction.

    The rest of her family are pretty good at acting too… idiots, they’re just embarrassing themselves

    In Indonesia, thats how tough they are on drugs. Schapelle would have known that, yet she still went ahead and did it. Deserved that sentence i reckon

    I’ve always thought she was guilty but at first I felt sorry for her having to serve her time over there in that disgusting hole. But from heaps of pics that have hit the media, she still gets some freedom, which she would not get here. You know what happens if you get caught carrying drugs into Thailand, they are so hard on traffickers, you’d have to be an absolute IDIOT to even think about doing it. This new act of hers that she has a mental illness, is just that, an act.

    She did the crime she does the time………Her whole family are drug lords and crims I think….
    BOGAN!
    She is a good actress though!

    As bad as the prison system is over there they do have a lot of things that you don’t get in prison systems over hear. You have proper health amenities etc here and healthy food but I am pretty sure you can’t have visitors every day, and have so much stuff brought into the jail like they get over there, and you definitely do not get to mix with the male prisoners and form relationships and have marriages etc. I don’t think doing time over here in Australia is going to be easy no matter what she might think, jail is jail it is not a holiday lodge???

    Hmmm I have mixed feelings about the situation. I think she’s guilty, but I do think20 years is too much. I do understand that it’s Indonesia’s law and she trafficked the drugs knowing full well what the consequences would be if she got caught, but 20 years in a jail like that would be rough on anyone. If she is suffering a mental illness because of it then I feel sorry for her because I too have a mental illness, but I don’t think she should be using that as an excuse.

    I would want to be coming back to Australia too, but if it’s an act to get back here then it’s a damn good one and she shouldn’t be putting it on just to get her way.

    I don’t like her family either. They’re just after money and will do anything to get it. They’re all greedy and manipulative and the whole thing is very suss.

    Just my opinion though.

    The problem is that when you go to another country you have to live by their laws and while Australia thinks 20yrs is too long, it is Indonesia’s law whether we like it or not!

  • 13 yrs, 11 mths ago

    Dee, I do agree that 20yrs is too long a sentence, people get less here for much worse crimes like murder. And I agreethat her, her sister and rest of the family shouldn’t sell their story to mags, It does become a little much and they shouldn’t profit from the crime. I’ve always been a little suss of Mercedes and her shop over there, hmmm. Ok enough from me, I really don’t like to pass judgement on others as who am I to know what really went down. I believe in karma and don’t like to see anyone in distress.

    hahaha Dee! i definetly agree, im just so sick of her and shes such a bogan. my worst nightmare to see her on the cover of a magazine :S
