If there was a hole in the internal bag and the smell of marijuana was so strong at the customs counter when the boogie board bag was opened (The space bag was still sealed) why didn't the cargo bay of the plane reek of pot???

bags have been known to burst in aeroplane holds (I know from experience, Ovaltine powder over EVERYTHING) ... no one had to PUT the hole in it, it could have simply burst in transit .

Quote:

Questioned by Corby's lawyers, Winata denied that customs officers had slit open the internal drug bag before Corby collected the boogie board. Her lawyers, who inspected the bag, said it had been partly cut open by a blunt instrument, perhaps a key.

When the bags were presented in court, four months after Corby's arrest, the internal bag was instantly noticeable because the bottom was sealed with black tape.

Not burst John....Cut with a blunt instrument, perhaps a key???

Never questioned and never investigated....Why???

Huh

Come on, guys - you KNOW that facts and diligent investigation of all aspects of a case are only on TV - SOP is just get enough for a conviction - which the 'law' see as being their job - and not investigate fully in case there may be exculpatory evidence, or even - God forbid - reasonable doubt.

Some wonder whether humanity would be better off if the whole family were locked up.

Wouldn't they make Neighbours from Hell!

Father, mother, and sister.

If appearances are anything to go by they are the worst of the bogan class of Australians. Bog-Irish from way back.

If there was an annual competition with the Confederate States of America to find the world's most convincing and authentic Trailer Trash ~ they would win hands down every year until the competition had to be abandoned because of no competition.

it's not the job of police to create reasonable doubt ... police have to follow the evidence and when they can prove a crime, make arrests .... it's up to her lawyer to create reasonable doubt. They don't have to tell the truth to do so either ... they can make any sort of crap up ... as long as it's plausible

Just being told that only one in 100 bags were 'scanned' at the time SC went through Customs here.

Now - I used to do frontline security at airports - Sydney - and I can assure you that EVERY hold luggage bag is screened - not necessarily searched - but screened, and I haven't worked there since 1996.

This whole story is odd and out of control if you ask me - but I can assure you that no dope would ever be in my bags in any airport.

Protesting your innocence in Indonesia, subsequent to a conviction, is not smart if you want to go home, it’s seen to be a slur against their justice system.

“Contrition” is what they want to hear. “Admit your guilt! Tell us how judicious and sagacious we were to give you twenty years for a bag of bloody hooch, chuck a fist-full of dollars this way and you’ll be out in no time.”

Thus Schapelle walks free, in a fashion.

Get ready for The Greatest Show on Earth and if you think you're sick of the name Schapelle Corby get ready for the Media Blitzkreig which will ensure that Schapelle has oodles of money in her pockets for a long, long time to come.

Do you think she might celebrate by doing a line or two in her private villa tonight? Guess its been a long time between drinks. Wink

By "here", do you mean Australia or indonesia?

And how would pot in a plastic bag look on a scanner?
