If she is still alive, then why haven't we heard anything about her from our supposedly loyal media and supposedly loyal politicians?

A BRITISH woman has described her ordeal in Bali's notorious Kerobokan Prison, the same jail where convicted Australian drug smuggler Schapelle Corby and the Bali Nine are serving time.
Rachel Dougall said she suffered savaged beatings within days of beginning a year-long sentence for drug-related crimes. Dougall, 40, told the Daily Mail that she had a nervous breakdown after being locked up with drug addicts, HIV-positive inmates and sexually aggressive lesbians in a tiny cell at the prison, nicknamed "Hotel K". http://www.news.com.au/world-news/uk-woman-rachel-dougall-describes-year-long-ordeal-in-balis-kerobokan-prison/story-fndir2ev-1226687219033 |

I was wondering about Schapelle around a week back...
I hate drugs... so don't get me wrong... but I feel she has done the time and needs to come home... go to Bali... the Locals are selling any sort of drug on every corner and not getting locked up... so where's the Justice? |

Unfortunately for Schapelle the drugs were found in her bag...[which makes her 'guilty' in Indonesia or most anywhere else in the world]...no matter who put the drugs in her bag. It's her seemingly 'racist' and 'religionist' sentence that's the outrage. Yes, her first mistake was ever setting foot in Indonesia [and Asia] in the first place. |

She's looking a bit ropey now, I guess thats what a decade of Indonesian food will do to you eh? I hope her half-brother is proud of himself. You know, the one who was travelling with her, turned around and fled the country same day she was arrested and has since been sent to jail for beating a man with an iron bar over a drug deal.... |

People do all kinds of stupid things. The drug surveillance in Indonesia used to be very hit and miss. I've been through there a few times and at the time Corby was arrested they didn't have any sophisticated equipment for drugs at Bali Airport. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schapelle_Corby#Family_background_and_context |

She can write a book, but all the proceeds will be seized as "proceeds of crime". Drug users knock on the illegal drug dealers' doors, buy the illegal drugs, consume the illegal drugs willingly...not like they haven't been warned...and some die or get maimed for life., all their own fault 'personal responsibility'. The drug trade is a sad affair all around. People execution-shredded/hanged for smuggling...and users dying by their own 'hand'. Interesting that new style heroin in Indonesia, flys in thru windows and lands on tables in piles. Indonesian cops were watching the Bali9 fom the time their plane landed...but didn't see even one delivery of all that heroin to their rooms. :) |

Its all speculation, justice is meant to be blind i.e. only consider Objective evidence which for Schapelle is prima facia case which provided no defence to, which is not that important given the type of justice system Indonesia has. He circumstance here or in most countries would end in the same result, tin foil hat theories that they provided were a joke, the only thing that might vary is the length of sentence which I think in Australia are to lenient. Was there any objective evidence that they were her brothers ? Sure my understanding from the various pot smokers I know is that the Indo stuff is shite but for Schapelle not to know about the drugs is a very hard case to defend..... I would call it impossible. I don't see the big deal, she will come back here write a book about and retire happy. |

Beheading of an indonesian maid . Warning; gruesome. Yes, ol Indon President SBY and other Indonesians flew into a tantrum of outrage. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jan/13/saudi-arabia-treatment-foreign-workers More than 45 foreign maids are facing execution on death row in Saudi Arabia, the Observer has learned, amid growing international outrage at the treatment of migrant workers. The startling figure emerged after Saudi Arabia beheaded a 24-year-old Sri Lankan domestic worker, Rizana Nafeek, in the face of appeals for clemency from around the world. The exact number of maids on death row is almost certainly higher, but Saudi authorities do not publish official figures. Indonesians are believed to account for the majority of those facing a death sentence. Human rights groups say 45 Indonesian women are on death row, and five have exhausted the legal process. _________________________________________ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Yes, Indonesia screams in outrage when anyone dares execute an Indonesian, but happily executes the citizens of other nations. Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, for example. They look like being next up to be dragged from their cells to the outdoor death chamber and exterminated. Indonesia execution-homicided people recently. In barbaric Singapore it's for sure and certain Schapelle would've been dragged kicking and screaming from her cell to the gallows and exterminated. |

Stop pretending you aren't aware the guy from customs has told the media umpteen times that Schapelle was set-up
A drugs drop that went wrong -- for the scum in customs Sydney Morning Herald ran a story late last year ... revealed that of the 900 customs employees who'd been tabled in internal reports for various crimes, only 3 were charged MP went on tv a few weeks ago to say things were going to be 'tightened' up at customs Numerous books and articles have explained, in triplicate and in terms even retards could understand, that Schapelle was an innocent victim So how far below retard are those of you still chanting the Paid-For mantra about 'she deserves to be there' ? Paid to Posts have been mumbling the same mantra online for years, trying to rev up the public Those who pay the Paid to Posts are soulless lumps of shite who will NEVER EVER enjoy anthing approaching a bearable afterlife Those who Post for Pay will spend eternity in blackness paying for the sins So heap shite on Schapelle all you like, during the BRIEF moment of time you're alive You'll pay later And when I pass you, I'll kick molten lava in your eyes Schapelle is an innocent victim of criminals and louts and of the three wise monkey type 'judges' they have over there in Bali |

No doubt the family projection is that of a bunch of misfits and nutjobs, but if that was crime they would lock up all the greens. I really don't see the point of speculation even by the police ....... the family does look tight and it does appear that Schapelle is either guilty or happy to be the fall bitch...... no doubt the family reputation (if there ever was one) is destroyed and Schapelle will obviously have a book to write. Why cares as long as justice has been spooned out correctly which as far as I can tell it has. If the family wanted to throw her brother under the bus it had ample opportunity. |

John Smith Does not matter what the crime is, as a sovereign nation we want our legal system respected, in this case the Indonesian's have not done anything wrong, so there is not even a grey area argument on this. If anything the Ants-Pants girl obviously paid a bribe which is a big custom in SE-Asia, this is the more dodgy case. There are numerous cases in SE-Asia and the Middle east where Australians have been set up, its seems to be SOP by Saudi authorities to stitch people up with simple selling of Alcohol charges if they want to get rid of someone they don't like, especially if your a foreigner. Why Corby gets all this attention is beyond me. Seems the ALP were happy to jeopardise our trade with their basic stupidity with Indonesia, did not need any dopy (i.e. get caught) drug dealers. |

I know this sounds daft.. but I will never go back to Singapore or fly their airlines... their court system was more than harsh and I think unfair..they are unbending no one is given a second chance...I thought them cruel.

Ian By definition she is guilty as she has been found so by law. If you mean she had the weakest case to defend then I agree. What I will say is that you need to respect customs and laws of the countries you visit more so then when you are at home as you will never fully understand such....... I do believe in the smoke fire theory but out of these many hundred others for sure many of these cases justice was not served even by the particular countries standards. Whether they committed the crimes or not is really not relevant, its whether they have been afforded the same rights as a citizen of that country has to defend themselves that is all we can ask for, the law gets it wrong here as well. We expect the same when people visit here. |

I have personally found Singapore to be one of the least racist counries in Asia, boring but not racist. The most racist country in Asia would have to be India, by far.

Its a desirable outcome when social sanctions work in reforming the moral Character of people like Van Nguyen before his death. Hopefully this will deter others form committing these kinds of crimes. But if Van saw the error of his way before justice was done upon him then good for him, thats what the process of moral reform and rehabilitation of wrong doers is all about.... |

Y'all must have been asleep during Nguyen's case/trial/sentence and hanging. It was constantly on our tv screens and in our newspapers. Everyone was begging Singapore not to hang him, including the Pope. Nasty Singapore just went ahead and hanged him. http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/barbaric-to-hang-him-ruddock/2005/12/01/1133311133346.html Condemned Australian drug trafficker Nguyen Tuong Van and his mother will be allowed to hold hands, but not to hug, before he is put to death. Singaporean officials today said they would grant Kim Nguyen an exemption from a total ban on physical contact with death row inmates. Kim Nguyen had asked to be able to hug her son one final time before he is executed at dawn tomorrow morning. But in a statement, the Singapore Government said it would allow only limited physical contact between the condemned man and his mother and brother Khoa. Sentence barbaric: Ruddock Attorney-General Philip Ruddock today described the sentence imposed on Nguyen as barbaric, and more abhorrent than normal because issues of mitigation were not taken into account. |

Corby has done her time for the crime... or for her brother anyways...
the national attention she received only added to her time in jail... she is meeting with Parole members now and could possibly be out as soon as October... but I wouldn't hold me breath... |

We can learn from Indonesia about how drug dealers should be treated. She will be back and someone will write a book for her and she will be fine ..... and back on the gear. |

##### Not all of them...most of our laws are fair enough. __________________________________ ****************************** This morning; http://www.news.com.au/national-news/bali-parole-board-says-schapelle-corby-should-go-free/story-fncynjr2-1226698901400 Bali parole board says Schapelle Corby should go free SCHAPELLE Corby's chances of an early release from prison have been given a massive boost with corrections officers in Bali recommending her for parole. The green light from the Bali corrections board (BAPAS) increases the likelihood that the convicted drug smuggler could soon be released from Kerobokan jail to live with her sister Mercedes in Bali. Ketut Artha, the head of the Denpasar BAPAS office, has told AAP that the parole recommendation was handed to prison officials on Friday. "The content is that we agree with suggestion that Corby gets her parole," he told AAP today while attending Indonesian independence day celebrations at Kerobokan jail. "Our consideration is that Corby has shown good behaviour while in prison, that local society and officials could accept her and the family is ready with guarantee. ##### If she is released on parole, there must be no dramas...no niteclubs etc. Just a quiet, private, 'hidden' lifestyle. All guests to be searched at the front gate of Mercedes familiy home...for possible contraband that could jeopardise Schapelle's parole conditions. There are some in Indonesia hot happy she's likely getting parole...trickery could be on the cards. |

If that is all she has to worry about......big deal. It was several years ago some 'expert' said she would be dead, imminently if she was not released. It seems the hold up this time is because Abbott's mob could not get some required documents (a guarantee) in order. |

To be fair I don't think she was guilty. The fact she travelled with her half-brother who had previous drug convictions, turned around and left Bali on the next plane when she was arrested and has since been inside a QLD prison for the charge of tying a guy to a chair and beating him with an iron bar over a drugs deal..... Leads me to believe they may, just may, have belonged to somebody else. |
Title: Re: Is Schapelle Corby still alive? Post by True Blue... on Nov 5th, 2013 at 6:09am
I recently saw a story about two Australians over seas who found drugs in their suitcases once they got to their motel...
they rang the Australian consulate who advised them to "get rid" of the drugs asap and that its possible they are being watched by the drug traffickers wanting to get their drugs back... this is what they do all of the time... apparently.. so what you'll be thinking already is that "why didn't they go to the authorities in that country" ... right? because they would have been accused of being drug smugglers themselves and thrown in jail.. so were advised to flush them straight down the toilet and get out of the country... scary stuff... im not saying this is what happened to Corby... but basically they threw her in jail because they couldn't find anyone else to blame... im also sus on the "half brother"... who is being charged with cocaine related charges as we speak.. |
