Its a barbaric court system that ignores Corbys call for just the simple rights of innocence ..., I am just horrified for Corby ....with hopes that this publicity will help
@o1ooo1o Your scenario is not possible. Marijuana is not an item that goes anywhere near airports as a commercial concern. It is similar in price and profit to tax-free cigarettes, stolen clothes, and stolen white goods and they don't go by air either. The 4.2Kg had a wholesale value of just over $12,000. The baggage handlers who brought in the cocaine got paid $300,000 each and the cocaine was worth millions. There's just not enough money in marijuana for the bribes you'd need.
...whoever it is that gets caught with it ....we can easily shift focus onto them, and their family and connections, and make them appear guilty in the public mind.
It'll all be sweet, relations between our countries will be intact. Our people will still keep holidaying in your country, our corruption doesn't get exposed, and our airports and our national airline ...are spared from scrutiny.
We both win, and one pawn will take the fall. Sound reasonable to you...?"
@o1ooo1o In addition, your scenario has too many if this and if that and if something else. It is far more likely to be exactly what it looked like and I don't know any Prime Ministers or any politicians at all, for that matter that would risk their careers or their legacies to be put at risk for the benefit of underlings. The other problem with it is that democracies have all sorts of oversight and they'd love to catch polies pulling that crap.
The AFP aren't an intelligence force that has independence or makes policy. They are cops who answer to the Prime Minister. When you say they were corrupt why did Amnesty International, the Innocence Project and other global humanitarian organisations all reject Schapelle's case. They didn't even look into it. You need to research this.
....because any of this evidence, is likely to shine the spotlight back onto us. So we need you to veto it all, and the unfortunate passenger caught with it ...must be found guilty.
If there's any backlash here in Australia, or if people start asking questions about the nature of the trial, OR any other serious questions... we'll deal with it.
It'll be easy to use our media, to manage public opinion, and shift focus away from these issues. Our populous is very gullible.... (CONT)
....and whoever it is, they're ganna have to take the fall. We actually know where it really came from, but we can't have anyone else knowing, that we were involved, or that our airport security is a joke.
We don't want to investigate this here, and we don't want you to investigate either. We want you to abandon your proper Code of Procedure, and refuse to collect evidence. DON'T reweigh the luggage, DON'T collect finger prints or DNA, and destroy the stuff as soon as possible.... (CONT)
@o1ooo1o There are so many arguments against this. Anyone caught with 4.2Kg of marijuana has about a 50% chance of recieving a suspended jail term (no prison time and about $1000 fine) Even a severe sentence wouldn't exceed 2 years - out in 9 months for good behaviour. If it came from Australia, by allowing the marijuana to go to Bali, an international spotlight was focused on Brisbane and Sydney airports that interupted millions in drug imports - heroin and cocaine.
@DJWOLFEN01 I'm not quite sure what you mean by this.
Are you saying ...it's more logical, that if the AFP knew about a package of marijuana on it's way to Bali, that they'd be happier ...to just do nothing, ...and let the spotlight be focused on Australian airports...?
...or with any luck, whoever gets caught with it, ...may only just get a light sentence and a small fine? (50% chance)
...or with more luck, it'll just go through undetected?
@o1ooo1o no, it's your supposition based on an assumption that defies fact to begin with. If "the AFP had to prevent their criminality... from being exposed" as you maintain then they are hardly going to put their hand up by informing the Bali Police of "the package", are they? The parking fine-like sentences for grass offences in Aust means that any criminal gang would assign an underling to take the fall for a grass offence in Aus rather than create an international spotlight.
@DJWOLFEN01 For the record, I still believe it was the Bali police who planted it, at their end.
The scenario I have put forward, was just a hypothetical ...and I agree it has many 'ifs' and 'maybes' ...but I just wanted to see, if there could possibly be a viable alternate theory, that also accords with the known facts ...that supports an Australian origin, for the marijuana.
@o1ooo1o As far as propaganda went what the Australian government did in this case was breathtaking and I finally understood how Hitler could take a nation of law abiding citizens and turn them into brutal zealots whose own sense of superiority could make the holocaust acceptable. The Australian Government turned 91% certainty of Schapelle's innocence to at least 70% belief in her guilt in less than 6 months without introducing a single new fact. It was masterful. (CONT)
(CONT) But these people who turned had been upset over how unfairly Schapelle was being treated in Indonesia and how corrupt their legal system was that a judge would say on 60 minutes that he had never acquitted a case in the last 500. Is it reasonable to believe that our government who had performed this masterful feat of turning hatred for Indonesia into hatred of an Australian thereby making the Indonesians the victim of 'Schapelle's crime'... (CONT)
(CONT) would then leave those who could never believe Schapelle was guilty to then campaign and undo all the work that the Government had done? The danger was that the Australian people would accuse Indonesia and escalate hostilities as they had done in 2005. Everyone had to believe that Schapelle was guilty; those who couldn't had to believe an Australian was guilty. We are a democracy; you are allowed to call them corrupt and nobody cares. Indonesia is not so forgiving.
@DJWOLFEN01 That scenario, was my best attempt to put together an alternate theory, and I wanted to see how well, it would stand up to your arguments.
I was pretty sure it would fail. It relies upon the idea, that marijuana was being moved around within Australia, by baggage handlers at major Australian airports ...and the AFP were also paid, to keep it under wraps.
The weight / profit ratio for weed, is one of the main things, that debunks this idea.
@DJWOLFEN01 So, to be clear ...I don't actually believe any of that scenario myself.
I just wanted to make sure, I had thoroughly explored that idea, before finally putting it to rest.
As for the Corbys being international drug runners ....NONE of that tripe ever stood up to ANY logic at all, and fails spectacularly ...when subjected to the facts.
@DJWOLFEN01 So, we're back to the Indonesians having planted the stuff.
And the main facts, which I believe point to them, is the extremely haphazard way the stuff was packed.
Inner plastic bag slashed, outer one not even closed up properly, not vacuum compressed, and then stuffed into a bodyboard bag ....along with, and on top of the board and flippers as well ...with the owners name and address tagged on it.
There is next to NO chance, ANYONE would smuggle drugs in this manner.
@DJWOLFEN01 Apart from the fact the Indonesians refused to take evidence, the manner in which the stuff was packed ....alone stinks of a set up, by them.
The new film "Expendable" mentions this, but still focuses mostly on AFP corruption, and drugs at Australian airports. It'll probably lead most who watch it, to believe the stuff came from Australia.
But, either way ...the final conclusion is the same . That being that Schapelle is 100% innocent.
Knowing that a package of marijuana was now on it's way to Bali, in an innocent passenger's luggage, the AFP had to prevent their criminality, and the dodgy airport security in Australia, from being exposed.
It may have only taken a phone call, to the Chief of police in Bali. Keelty, or Ellison or Downer, or someone else may have made it.
The call my have gone something like... "Look, there's 4.2 kg of marijuana about to arrive on a flight to Bali today. It'll be in someone's luggage.... (CONT)
@o1ooo1o So, how did informing the Bali Police that the marijuana was on its way, thereby stating that they knew of it make them and their airport any less dodgy? Wouldn't they just be hoping that it got through undetected as happened with Steve and Dee?
@o1ooo1o Yeah and maybe the guys that were destroying their own evidence did so because they already knew it wouldn't support their case. Clearly, what you have put forward is so fanciful with more "maybes" than I can count as to be impossible. We know that no one is moving marijuana around Australia in airfreight because none has ever been siezed, ever. Count them - 0 - zilch, nada, not a gram. And the chances that the first perfect crime involves smelly grass - also none.
I have believed for a while now, that it was the Balinese police that planted the drugs. But recently, I have thought about whether the drugs may have actually originated in Australia.
Just say...
...there actually was corrupt baggage handlers, moving marijuana around Australian airports, and possibly with the knowledge and support of the AFP.
We know that there was corrupt baggage handlers, involved in receiving cocaine from Columbia, at that time, and the AFP knew about that .....(CONT)
@o1ooo1o Airports are like big police stations where the criminals come to them. Druggies hate airports - they make them paranoid and for good reason. The only drugs that go near an airport are those coming into the country and that have a volume/weight to profit ratio that gives headroom to the massive costs in bribes to do so. To move marijuana through airports you would need to move at least 2 tonnes to cover these costs. Hard to do that secretly which is why 0 seizures.
before anyone begins to travel the world backpacking , my advise is read some books on Prisons in that country, ie Thailand-India_Laos-South America-Indonesia-Caribbean - then you will get an insight how corrupt each country we travel is, how easy it is to bribe low paid corrupt officials as cheap as 10p!.. Corby is 100% innocent, have read her book No More Tomorrows and Hotel K where she is held against her will.
Thanks for this video. I will be sharing on my facebook. I have always known and believe in her innocence and the complete corruption of the AFP. I simply refuse to ever go to Indonesia based solely on this case. I would hope that others would also boycot Bali until they set her free. I will never go in pure RESPECT for Schapelle. If I was her and my "fellow Australians" continued to holiday where I was wrongly spending my life in gaol I would feel very violated by my countrymen.
@NTBushPilot Yes. And very deliberate lies. The way he uses detail with dates and testimony gives it an aura of authenticity but McCauley was not a sucessful drug king pin. Anyone growing hydroponic marijuana with a crop of 5 to 10 kilos every 14 weeks sjould be making at least $300,000 to $500,000 per year. According to Duff, McCauley has been at it a while and it is not money he can bank. So they are all multi-millionaires? Where is the money?
The Police say that McCauley only grew two crops and the first was a washout. He over fertilized it. The Police can find no connection between McCauley and the Corbys. McCauley said that Mick would put $1000 into the luggage with a bag of marijuana and whichever Bali Customs officer was on duty would take the money and let the drugs through... Why? Why not take the money, seize the drugs, and arrest the courier? McCauley was paid $60,000 by the media for that pearl!
Michael Corby and Tony Lewis hadn't been that close for 20 years but even if they had, the fact that Duff ignores is that no one is taking marijuana to Bali. We saw a 14 year-old arrested there recently and what was obvious was that undercover police are watching the tourists for any opportunity to arrest or extort them for any wrong-doing. Australians are not selling grass there. None have ever been caught. Is this the perfect crime? Not likely.
What Duff and his Fairfax friend Matthew Moore have failed to understand is that the marijuana business requires a high turnover. What price you can sell drugs for in a place is not relevant if you can only sell 5 grams per day. To make money in Bali you would have to be visible to the tourists (and to the Indonesian police-backed dealers). It is a whole different story if some surfie is sharing the little he has with a friend... that's not dealing. Off-loading 4Kg is.
Kim Moore who claimed that McCauley and Corby were connected was downplayed because she tried to get a friend to back up the story for the media cash. The friend told the police and the court that Kim Moore was a fraud. According to Alan Trembath Michael offered him $20,000 to ferry dope down from North Queensland in the early '80s. In what? The Queen Elizabeth? I bought a luzury home in Perth's inner city for less that $10,000 in the Early '80s.
Even though the photo of Schapelle at Brisbane airport shows her to be relaxed and happy, Duff claims that she was nervous and agitated on the flight. All Duff needed during his TV interviews was to bring along one member of the Qantas cabin crew to confirm his version of events which is contrary to the photo. Not a peep. So what were Schapelle's travelling companions doing while Schapelle was causing mayhem? Do you notice how Duff avoids defamation by ignoring them?
Unfortunately for Guy (and Schapelle), his argumet is easily debunked. The picture of the huge bag of marijuana with the customs official was obviously taken after its vacuum seal had been broken. Anybody that knows anything about how to store marijuana in commercial quantities will tell you; vacuum seal it in plastic and freeze it. Once the seal is broken its contents will swell to their original size. This also explains why the marijuana would not have been emitting an odour.
@l0ok5ko0l Once marijuana has been compressed it doesn't swell back to its original size when the seal is broken - not unless it is devoid of resin. It will swell back some but not to its original size. According to court testimony the marijuana was discovered unsealed. The outer plasic bag was open and the inner bag was sealed but it had a cut across its entire width so that the smell escaped without allowing the contents to spill into the containing luggage. (Cont..)
(Cont) Who would do that? The marijuana was not packed for smuggling. In fact, it was packed in a manner that ensured that whoever inspected those bags would discover the marijuana. The fact that the Customs chief claimed that no one in his department saw the marijuana when incoming luggage was x-rayed suggests that the reason why the body board bag was retieved by James two feet away from the carousel was because it didn't even go though customs. The police placed it there.
@WeAskThePeople This was made in the very early days by Guy Pilgrim and I cut it and uploaded it. Check out my films, "The corby Scandal Part 1" and then parts 2 and 3 which explains why Schapelle isn't guilty, who is and why it was done.
@claireshana If you really are interested you need to demonstrate that interest by finding out for yourself. Believing or disbelieving what others say will only give you belief... Not knowledge.
@claireshana It doesn't matter what the Corbys say; they are attacked the moment they comment. In fact, they are attacked for commenting. Duff lied about the owned properties and ignored any and all evidence that conflicted with what he wanted to claim. Why would any sane person believe his assertions about the Qantas staff when no one is interviewing them to get confirmation? Those who believe Duff aren't reading critically.
@claireshana They have been growing it in that soil, under those climate conditions for thousands of years - of course it is potent. However, what the police use to entrap tourists and what the gangs of dealers sell which is exclusively for tourists is more of a statement of their respect for us. It's not cured, it's not even all female plants, and they certainly don't lessen the sellable product by removing leaf, twigs, and seeds. It's like spitting in your hamburger.
@claireshana No the Indonesian authorities really did destroy all states evidence before it could be measured. The conspiracy theory is that Schapelle could be guilty and her family drug king pins but that no one in our government or in the opposition parties or in the federal police or in the Queensland Police or in the DPP or in our entire legal system would be calling for them to be investigated and prosecuted... That Duff would have to do that for them.
@claireshana Michael owned a property (it wasn't a farm) that he bought while working in the merchant navy. He sold that to pay off the housing commissioned duplex that the Corbys now live in. Ros's 2nd husband owned a home as well which he sold off to buy the fish and chip shop. The fish and chip shop was then sold to pay off Schapelle's legal expenses. Duff infers that the Corbys owned two houses and the property at one time which was a lie.
@claireshana She was never Schapelle's or the Corby's lawyer. At one stage she asked if she could work pro-bono and the corbys said "sure". I mean, why not, right. However, a couple of years ago comments this lawyer made were inaccurate and the Corbys asked her to stop but she ignored them and continued to pose as Schapelle's lawyer. This has since been rectified.
OUTRAGE , injustice & veiled dictatorships.. don't label her a ganja queen you moron .. she's suffered enough ,, & she's innocent on top of that.
BOYCOTT BALI,, that'll HURT THEM for MILLIONS in TOURISM..& when they're squirming .. & asking for mercy , them maybe they'll learn what goes round can come round in a very angry. way. put yourself in Schapelles shoes.. 6 years,, so far,, for what ?..
@WeAskThePeople Unfortunately, boycotting Bali will do little although I think Australians should be warned that we are now targets in Indonesia. Tourism to Bali is a pittance compared to their International funding for the war on terror, the war on drugs, economic aid for poverty, humanitarian projects and military aid... they have far more billionaires than we do. Look at your computer, your toaster, your clock radio, your clothes... Much of it is made in Indonesia.
@KillaChilli I'm not here to promote me but I do have a law degree. Regardless, I have far more knowledge of the case than you since at least I know that the Republic of Indonesia is not a monarchy. The prosecution established that the drugs were imported without ever proving it because her defence lawyers were not actually representing Schapelle. They colluded with the prosecution and agreed. (cont)
(cont) The prosecution proved that Schapelle imported the drugs knowingly because the State's witness who couldn't speak English testified to what Schapelle said in English ommitting the fact that whatever she said was ignored because they dragged her brother away for questioning. This was all that was required to prove guilt and yet her Indonesian lawyers never cross-examined this witness and ignored the prosecution's case entirely running around Aust. looking for guilty baggage handlers.
Yes... Good point. Based on the French Civil code heavily influenced by the Dutch-Roman Law/Dutch Colonial Law; not the Westminster System. My point still remains despite symantics. You say "In any other court in the world, they would say there is no link between Schapelle and the evidence, and so the evidence is inadmissable." It came off an international flight in her name. That is a huge link.She admitted the bag was hers. That is all that is required in Australia for narcotics importation.
@KillaChilli True but in Australia, our police don't trash all measurement and analysis of the evidence. Our police investigate wherever possible and they certainly don't allow the accompanying travellers to leave without being questioned. And, if the only contact in Australia for the suspect arrived at the airport where the suspect was being detained to supposedly find out what was holding up her drugs, they wouldn't allow her to talk alone with the suspect and then leave.
If you truly have expertise and you are interested enough to comment here then please, check it out. This case is far bigger than Schapelle. It is about how our Government can manipulate the public to believe anything which makes democracy superfluous. I'm not so much interested in convincing people as I am in intriging them enough to actually look at the case themselves. You can convince yourselves far better than anyone else ever could.
@DJWOLFEN01 "The prosecution established that the drugs were imported without ever proving it.." If thet 'establish' it, it is proved. Do you have a copy of the case report? I would be very interested to read it. Sounds like the bag of pot was an agreed fact, which is very reasonable. Consistant with the Rules of Evidence in Indonesia, both barang bukti and alat bukti were achieved. She was found guilty in a court of law. You should respect for the decision of the courts of other countries.
@KillaChilli Unfortunately, this is a poor forum for discussion with the word limit. We both must use language to convey the most truth to the biggest audience. Established because it was not contested so legally proven yes but not justice. one expert witness claimed the pot was Indonesian and the police lied about viewing it on the x-ray machine. The Chief of Customs testified that no one in Customs (where the x-ray machine was situated) was aware of the pot until the check in desk.
A recent SMH poll shows just 3% of readers believe SC is innocent. DJ, you're smart, passionate and are using the net well. BUT, you will not convince over the 90%+ nor the Indo govt and law machine with your tired arguments of the minutiae. You're now a voice in the wilderness. Why not shift tack and use all the the platforms you have so skillfully set up to say enough is enough, bring her home? Then you will get my support and probably that of a lot of others too. Just a thought.
@baxterwall2802 You have a point although slanted. Actually, support for Schapelle would be around 15% but that support isn't active and most supporters including myself would not read a paper that has done nothing but support rumour and outright lies for the last 8 years. Schapelle should come home but I happen to know Schapelle is innocent while you believe whatever you believe.
Why do you think the Bali Police refused to weigh her luggage, refused to have the the drugs analysed, deliberately contaminated fingerprints and laughed about it, didn't interview Schapelle's travelling companions, didn't arrest Mercedes, weren't angry when the Corby's were ignored by Australian law enforcement, got rid of the Bali airport CCTV footage, and yet tried to trick Schapelle into signing an Indonesian document that was actually a confession. Maybe they weren't being honest.
@claireshana Not a chance. If someone is foolish enough to commit a crime in another country they must play by that countries rules. However, in this case, this was an attack by Indonesia on the Australian Government who were far too involved in interfering in Indonesia's domestic affairs. The Bali bombing didn't deter Howard but Indonesia saw the upset that a death sentence for heroin in Singapore caused. How much worse for someone obviously innocent and for marijuana?
@claireshana I know and it is a different story to what he told Channel 9 and certainly different from what he said in court. In court he said he was very suprised when he opened the bag in front of Schapelle. And as I've said, the Chief of Customs claimed that no Customs officer including Winata was aware of the marijuana until Schapelle's bag was opened in front of her. So people were lying. My question is if Schapelle was guilty, why?
@bigfellajohnnyboy "Sheila" is a word used by bogans. For 8 years the AFP have had their eye on them while both the AFP and the Queensland Police handed the media documents clearing them of any criminal activity. They don't own 1.5 million worth of property and saying they do doesn't make it so. Out of $250,000 in book royalties all was seized other than $35,000 given to Wayan. Do you have any idea of how much Schapelle's appeals came to? Everyone in the Corby extended family contributed.
@bigfellajohnnyboy "Just ask the sheila"? and they are the bogans? Why don't you ask a few question since it seems that ignorance seems to rule your world. You are obviously one of these people who are so dumb that you don't question why a family of drug traffickers who have disrupted the entire nation from their housing commissioned duplex have been completely ignored by the AFP and the Queensland Police for 8 years. Do you think the police protect drug traffickers?
@bigfellajohnnyboy What are you talking about? The people you mentioned involved themselves in Schapelle's life not the other way around. Tony Wilson is still a good friend to the Corbys so I don't know where you are getting your material. None of them have used the word 'cunt' publically so this is your creation. And, it was a disc jockey that called the judges, "monkeys". Power stole thousands of dollars and was convicted of deliberate fabrication so as to cause harm. Get some facts.
"But that's the thing, none of the Corbys can get airtime. No one in the media wants to talk to them or get their view. "WHAT? The Corby's don't get airtime? That is an incredibly stupid statement. You put yourself forward as someone who maintains the Oz media has manipulated the public against SC. How about a family who has milked the media to SC's detriment? You should drop all this crap, admit she's guilty and campaign for her release.
Duff has just written this book. Have you seen the Corbys responding to this? Ros and Mercedes have been ringing the networks and the networks don't want their side. Instead, they go to Kerry Douglas Smith who claims to be Schapelle's lawyer and yet no one hired her. The Corbys told her to go away and that they already have a lawyer. However, the media like KDS and name her as Schapelle's lawyer to make the allegations seem balanced. The corbys didn't milk anything; they were mobbed.
@claireshana No, he moved in to the Corby Home just a few weeks before Schapelle departed. He had cancer but everyone thought he'd beat it. The change was his acceptance that it was terminal.
@claireshana It would be good if we could say she was clinically depressed and had a pre-existing condition. That way the doctors who procribed this medication could have testified in court and later used this in her clemency appeal. Unfortunately we cannot. Schapelle was never on any such medication. Most prisoners adapt. They accept that they did wrong and got caught. Schapelle really is innocent and has spent years waiting for the truth to come out living in hope. That's torture.
@claireshana But that's the thing, none of the Corbys can get airtime. No one in the media wants to talk to them or get their view. Why would they want to talk to the flight attendant if they aren't rushing off to interview her either. As for Defamation or a lawsuit. It's a he said/she said; All Duff need say is, "that's not what you said before" and there is no case.
@claireshana The prosecution only had to prove two things to get a conviction. That the drugs arrived on Schapelle's flight - that she imported them and that she did so knowingly. The job of her lawyers was not to play Perry Mason and solve the crime; their job was to oppose the prosecution. If he said it was going to be a beautiful day, their job was to bring out whether maps and prove it was going to rain. Within the first week of Hotman joining the defence,... (Cont)
(Cont) he said to the media, "Since the origin of the drugs is not in dispute we do not need to have the drugs forensically tested" after Schapelle signed a form to request that the AFP test the drugs. Hotman gave the prosecution half of the case without contest because the Bali Police had committed an offence against the UN Charter for Human Rights by answering the AFP on behalf of the defence. Hotman was really representing the interests of the Indonesian Government.
@claireshana My elderly mother went there and she's in her 80s. Gangs of drug traffickers with no shame were asking her if she wanted grass, coke, heroin, etc... As if! And yet, they don't care and they aren't shy! And, every tourist comes home with the same stories of harassment. I think we can safely state as fact that these dealers are working for the Bali Police or at the very least are under their protection. (Cont)
(Cont) So in Bali, the cab drivers, the vendors and the drug dealers are all trying to scratch out a meagre living where the drug business is controlled by the Bali Police and Australians believe this is a lucrative drug market. A western drug dealer could not operate in that environment. None of the locals would turn a blind eye while he took tourist money that otherwise would be theirs. Everyone would dob him in and undercover police would have him within minutes. (Cont)
@claireshana If I was approaching Bali Customs and I opened my bag to see 4Kg of marijuana, zipped it up fast in a panic and then handed the bag to Winata... What would I say? Probably something really stupid. Would I be thinking "what would be the perfect thing to say that would convey my innocence in the years to come?" No... probably, "I have some... I have some... "
@claireshana They planted it on a random passenger because of the offences of the Howard Government. Downer was demanding that Abu Bakr Bashir be arrested and convicted, Howard said he had the right to invade any nation that harboured terrorists, he sent constitutional experts to reform Indonesia's Supreme Court, he had sent in Australian troops to combat the Indonesian militias trying to influence the East Timor referendum which virtually lost them this territory, ...
(Cont) he was involving himself in West papua and using Indonesia's pretense of adopting democracy against them by being so patronising. When the Bali bombing "brought our nation together in tragedy" he formed the joint Indonesian/Australian task force but this wasn't to put Indonesian police in Australia; this was to put Australian police on the ground in Indonesia. Indonesia responded by framing an Australian with a crime that was such an obvious set up but left Howard with no choices.
@claireshana And yet, rather than allow the Bali 9 to commit their crime and arrest them at Sydney, the AFP allowed them to leave and informed the Bali Police so that they could be charged under a death penalty offence. What was the difference? Schapelle was innocent and the death penalty would have meant far greater scrutiny of her case. The fact is that the co-operation did end when the Bali Police refused to give the AFP a sample of the drugs. The Bali 9 was the AFP's attempt to fix that.
@claireshana Even in Indonesia they have lawyer/client privilege. In any case, it is nonsense since I have copies of documents where Schapelle signed for the testing to be done, where the Australian amabassador first informs the AFP that the Bali Police refuse to allow them a sample of the drugs as well as the refusal directly from the Bali Police to the AFP. So, no one was listening to the Corbys regardless of what they wanted.
@claireshana Actually, there are several inaccuracies here but answering them all is difficult. The expats can live comfortably in Bali for around $300 per month. I know alot about Hinduism and Bali and i can assure you that while many Hindus no longer smoke pot during Holi and don't adhere to the strict ideals for the visions of Shiva, and prefer a more Western-friendly interpretation of their religion, the priests and the more traditional Hindus do not. They smoke pot.
@bigfellajohnnyboy Well, did it come with a label? Was it sold to you by some fool who had brought over an ounce so he could be the life of the party? Was it sold to you by an Ex-pat who had gotten to know the locals well enough to get his hands on the good stuff? Not like that insulting rubbish used to fleece or entrap tourists. Because I can tell you what it wasn't. It wasn't an Aussie drug dealer selling to a very slow, limited market under the noses of locals and undercover police.
@claireshana Mick was diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing treatment. It wasn't until just before Schapelle's arrest that he moved into the Corby home because the battle was all but over. In fact, this was Schapelle's last hurrah before she too moved back into the family home to spend time with her father.
@bigfellajohnnyboy She didn't say anything about Michelle Leslie other than the fact that they didn't get on. Michelle Leslie was the source of that. As it happens I believe she was innocent as well since I don't believe Indonesian camera crews just happen to be in the back of Bali Police cars for non-existant TV shows and I don't think while pretending to be a remourceful devout Muslim she would take ecstasy (it disappears from urine in 48 hours) - they contaminated her sample as she said.
I'd need to read it again and you are probably right although the stewardess is recalling the words and actions of someone she already believes is guilty which is prone to exaggeration and Duff's MO is that he missrepresents and omit's pertinent facts. McCauley was thoroughly denounced by the AFP and by the Queensland Police as an opportunist and a liar. Duff doesn't include that. Michael's finaces have been under the microscope and every purchase and earning has been followed.
@claireshana Verbatim according to Duff! But where is the media support? Where are the journalists scrambling for the exclusive "Flight attendant confirms Duffs allegations" with juicy details missed by Duff. Were the other three drunk as well? Were they trying to pacify her or were they egging her on? Was the supervisor suprised when Schapelle was arrested? Did anyone try to raise this issue prior to Schapelle's trial. Regardless of the story, there is always more story - Jounalism 101.
And yet, while the media (Fairfax) promotes the book with extracts, there is a screaming void of confirmation. Where are the screaming Corbys? Are they confessing now? Wouldn't every journalist like that story? David McHugh is a drug trafficker? Wouldn't the media love to chase him to his car? Where is the interview with police explaining why they hid Michael's 2nd criminal conviction? Now that would be a headliner all over the country. There is nothing. No scoops, no confirmation.
@claireshana Of couse she did although I believe her hands got in the way as she tried to open the bag for him. 10 seconds before that while still waiting she had opened the bag to see what was in it. When she saw the marijuana she went into shock as you describe. First off, a drug trafficker wouldn't open the bag. They wouldn't say, "I have some..." If the wrong person was on the counter or something she would have made sure the bag was never picked up and it wouldn't have her name on it.
(Cont) And then she wouldn't have asked for her luggage to be weighed and wouldn't ask the police to wear gloves. And if she had wiped the fingerprints off then she wouldn't have put her name on it and not have at least put the stuff in an opaque bag or a pillow case... Winata lied.
@claireshana Yes I have experienced casual racism. I was married to an Indonesian until her death in a car accident over 20 years ago. And, you have avoided my question. Winata told the Age SMH that he became aware of the marijuana when the police saw it on the X-ray machine. He said he followed it to see who would claim it and then moved behind the counter when Schapelle opened her bag.
(Cont) However, when Hotman later questioned the Head of Customs as to whether he cut the inner bag as a part of his investigation, he told the court that no one within customs was even aware of the marijuana until it was discovered by Winata in the public area for baggage inspection. And two things support this: firstly he was admitting incompetence - why would he do that? Secondly, the bag was found about 2 feet from the carousel as if it had not come from customs on the carousel.
(Cont) So one version was a lie. Since the police don't operate the X-ray machine within the customs area but may have looked over the shoulder of the customs officers that do then the police lied if the Head of Customs was to be believed. And, Winata lied according to his boss which should have been enough for an acquital. It wasn't because the trial was rigged from before Schapelle's arrest.
(cont) As for your, "Winata can speak enough English to describe Corby's actions," how do you know? You're not his mother. He didn't understand Channel 9's interview questions in English and needed a translator - his answers were in Indonesian. That is all we know and his ability to differentiate between "the marijuana is mine," "the marijuana isn't mine" or "that is mine" which was a response to the police question of "who owns this bag" is highly doubtful since she has never confessed.
Enough! Obviously you didn't hear what his boss, the Chief of Customs, said in Schapelle's trial. Did you know that in his interview with Channel 9, the interviewer had to get a translator to ask the questions and he answered in Indonesian. The man can't speak a word of English but testified as to what Schapelle said in court and he even testified that she spoke it in Indonesian. As for racism. I'm fighting a white guy named Duff and to use the racism card does not make you that bright.
@claireshana And you know this how? So Australians are sending plane loads of Aussie Gold to upset the Indonesians and the Australian Government doesn't care? You believe that? The Balinese people are Hindu. They smoke the strongest marijuana in the world and it is accepted there since the Holi festival or the worship of Shiva demands it. So, you think the Hindu priests buy it from Aussie tourists. Where do you think Australian marijuana came from?
(Cont) In 1981, three Dutch geneticists designed the first strains of marijuana specifically for hydroponic growth. They developed "Skunk" and "Northern Lights" and in both varieties they chose Indonesian marijuana because of its renowned potency. 95% of marijuana grown in this country has its ancestry in Indonesia and if an expat is lucky he will get some of this through his Balinese friends. The tourists get the crap grown by the Bali Police to rob or entrap them.
(Cont) No one is importing marijuana into Bali for profit which is why no foreigner has EVER been arrested for dealing grass there and no one but Schapelle has been arrested for a commercial importation (However, Steve and Dee, a melbourne couple, did find a brick of marijuana in their luggage when unpacking in a Bali hotel). This is why neither the Australian nor the Indonesian Government are interested in investigating this myth. Or do you think neither of them care?
@claireshana How do you know Duff quotes the actual words of anyone? How do you know any of it is true when no one who supports the Corbys, not even the Corbys themselves, can get air time to put forward an opposing view.
@claireshana No he didn't. It was in Rosleigh's name. They were divorced. I will comment upon the Downer issue after I have done some research. No, not McCauley, Michael Corby. Why did the Australian Government and the AFP protect Michael Corby if he was the drug trafficker that Duff claims he was? Since when does the Australian Government protect criminals. Why was Duff's alleged investigation neccessary? What is behind it? I know, do you?
@claireshana A prisoner cannot sue. It is harder to prove defamation in Australia than just about anywhere else. In most places you can sue someone for defamation if they make nasty allegations against you and then they have to prove with concrete evidence that their statements were true. In Australia, the person bringing the lawsuit must prove that they deliberately lied and that they did so in order to cause harm. Powers and Seven were convicted of defamation.
@claireshana You have to ask yourself why there is no support for these allegations. And, don't be fooled, things are happening and we will uncover this charlatan. We allowed Matthew Moore to claim that marijuana was being taken to Bali by Australians when anyone who saw the operation with the 14 year-old boy, the undercover police and the way the gangs of Indonesian drug traffickers are protected must see that it would be suicide for a Western dealer. We won't stand still for this.
@claireshana Check again. It was published in New Zealand. No, Duff's words reportedly from a senior flight attendant. Where are the on camera interviews from the media with this flight attendant reaffirming that it happened as Duff describes? Why has the media merely printed extracts rather than to do what they always do - shine a spotlight, give us the detail, confirm the allegations, remove the doubt... NOTHING.
@claireshana Firstly, Ros was caring for Michael because he had terminal cancer... So he sends 4Kg of marijuana off with his daughter to Bali? To do what? Mercedes was Schapelle's contact in Bali. Ros drove her to Brisbane airport. How could both of them not be involved? Mercedes was in FHM because they were desperate for the money. The Australian Government paid to hire Schapelle's lawyer but the ongoing fees were paid by the Corbys and those fees never stopped for a moment.
@claireshana No I haven't nor will I. As stated previously, the injunction was not lifted; it was published under a new title in another country. Ros and Mercedes were forced to pay out hundreds of thousands in legal fees, food, water, medicines, doctor's fees and prison necessities. Mercedes magazine money was confiscated as were Schapelle's book royalties. Ros had to sell her fish and chip shop and mortgage their home to pay for it.
@claireshana As I said, there was no injunction filed against "Sins of the Father". And, quite frankly, as for Michael's criminal history which is a matter of public record, the fact that Michael didn't advertise the fact that he had been into dope in his younger days while his daughter was being charged with a death penalty offence is more than understandable. It doesn't mean anyone is taking marijuana to Bali and it certainly doesn't mean Michael did.
@claireshana the publishers didn't do any research and publishers are not legally liable for what a writer states as fact.. The court injunction was never lifted. The original title, "The Fall Girl" was legally blocked by the Corbys in a court of law. Courts don't hand out injunctions for material someone simply doesn't like. So Duff changed the title and published it in New Zealand. You cannot sue someone on behalf of someone else ...(cont)
(Cont) If Mick was a drug trafficker, wasn't Rosleigh also guilty? Wasn't it Ros who drove Schapelle and her travelling companions to the airport? But if you notice, Duff accuses Schapelle who is in prison and Michael who is dead but leaves the rest of the family alone. That's because only the defamed can sue. As for Power she was convicted of defamation. In Australia this doesn't mean that she can't prove her statements; it means it's proven that she maliciously lied to cause damage.
I can't remember the last time I was allowed to bring a suitcase on to an aircraft. You're always without your hold luggage. Fact is if you roll up at customs the other end with a massive amount of drugs in your suitcase it's very hard to argue it's not yours. Oh please - not the baggage handlers defence again?
@claireshana Two of the 9 still may be. Indonesia used to be known as the 'Spice Islands' and has had the world's most potent marijuana for centuries. Dutch Engineers used Sumatran Heads to create Skunk. Mick went to Bali to tell his daughter he had cancer. According to the Qld police and every other authority he didn't have 2 convictions - that is a lie. Fortunately for Duff, dead people can't sue. Jodie Powers said the drugs were from Adelaide because she was prompted to... (Cont)
(Cont) This was validated in court when she and Channel 7 were found guilty of defamation. The police were aware of marijuana movements between those two states as were the media and McCauley was actually involved in that trade. However, both the AFP and the Qld Police cleared Michael and his family of any involvement so the question we have to ask is why would our Government protect a big time drug trafficker? And where is the money? Certainly not in the Corbys housing commissioned duplex.
@claireshana Both the media and our Government gave the appearance of support which allowed them to treat her unlike a suspect. If they had treated her as a suspect they would have investigated her, her finances, and searched her home. By treating her as innocent they avoided an investigation that she actually needed. The AFP and the Qld police have never been to the Corby home. Do you think they don't care if they took marijuana to Bali or did they not want a record of her innocence?
Just prior to schapelle's arrest, Van Tuong Ngen was sentenced to the death penalty in Singapore and this caused major angst in Canberra. How much worse would that angst be if the death penalty was for marijuana and the offence was a deliberate frame up by the Indonesian Government? On the day of Schapelle's arrest several things happened. Firstly, all police co-operation between Australia and Indonesia ended abruptly. ... (Cont)
(Cont) While the AFP tried to repair this fracture by handing over the Bali 9 the 'joint' part of the operation was severely limited - (see the murder of Singh). The Indonesians did everything but take out a full page ad to tell Australians that they planted the drugs when they refused to preserve fingerprints and taunted Schapelle when she begged them to wear gloves and refused conclusive evidence of guilt or innocence by refusing to weigh her luggage ... (Cont)
This was their evidence. Turn it around. If Schapelle had been guilty, the last thing she would have wanted was to have that luggage weighed. The Indonesian Attorney General would have had the police who failed to do this, sacked for aiding a criminal. What did the Indonesians have to do to get Australians angry enough to become the aggressors? After East Timor a report was tabled in Indonesia's parliament that said in a conflict between Australia and Indonesia, the aggressor would lose.
The reason why the media is so unrelenting and our government abandoned her was because the Indonesian Government deliberately targeted a random Australian. I explain what happened and why on The Corby Scandal part 1 (they won't allow URLs in this format but it is a Youtube video under my name DJWOLFEN01) Part 2 explains how and part 3 explains why. For more information see my blog "the truth about Aussie gold".
@claireshana This 500 character limit is killing me. The Qantas aircrew described Schapelle as "loud and Aggressive". Were her travelling companions "Loud and agressive" too or were they trying to pacify her? Or were they all simply boisterous and loud? How can they say she was "tense and agitated"? Aren't tense and agitated people quiet and fearful? Where are the media's follow up interviews with these crew members to confirm Duff's assertions. Wouldn't that be a scoop? ... (cont)
...(cont) but, there will be no interviews. McCauley, McHugh, the Qantas crew, Eastwood who could all add the juicy detail and confirm Duffs findings making them dream targets for any journalist in TV, radio or print will never be approached or be heard from by the Australian public. The foundation to these lies is that Australians are taking marijuana to Bali and selling it under the noses of the undercover police who nabbed the 14 year old boy and yet have never been caught. ... (cont)
(Cont) Don't you think it is incredibly strange that no one ever discussed or reviewed Moores original claims and now Duff says that Australians were taking marijuana to Bali and yet no one in our Government is interested? The assertion is that Australians are taking marijuana to sell in a foreign country and our Government just shrugs as if it weren't an international embarrassment requiring a full enquiry and investigation to assure Indonesia that we give a shit?
in most cases this man doesn't introduce proof. he just states his opinions.
the fact that she would be shipping marijuana over a boarder where the risk would not be anywhere worth the profits attainable by purchasing that amount of marijuana in bali... doesn't make sense,. something is off from the start... i believe that we can talk all we want about this but no one can say she is innocent or guilty. that's not for us to say.
@gab3dabab3 Frankly, Guy didn't do a great job in early 2005 when he recorded this. He is a close friend of the family and knew full well that Schapelle was innocent.. as do I but for more logical reasons. The media with the approval of the Aust Govt made the case that Australians were taking marijuana to Bali for profit and Moore wrote an article to this effect the day before Schapelle was sentenced since they knew she was going to be found guilty they wanted public acceptance....
(Cont) However, since then and before not a single arrest has occurred where anyone was caught importing marijuana into Bali for profit. No foreign marijuana has ever been siezed in Indonesia and no foreigners have ever been arrested for distributing marijuana in Indonesia. We aren't talking about the perfect crime here. If it was happening, if there was a market in Bali for foreign marijuana, someone would have slipped up somewhere. No one takes marijuana to Bali for profit.
@MrPoohey78 What many here fail to grasp is that I am not expressing an opinion. The problem is that all of Australia has an opinion on this because there was no official investigation of this case either in Indonesia or Australia. Schapelle was charged with the crime of importing marijuana into Indonesia that hadn't happened before and no one even investigated to find out if she was working alone or with others. Opinion should have been replaced with fact when a life is at stake.
How heavy is a boogie board? 4-5kg. Lets add 4.5 kg of dope. Hmm the weight just doubled. Now do you think you'd notice that? Hell yes you'd notice that. Shackled Corgy new she had the dope, she was the mule. She got caught. She's in jail. The Corgies are the family to go to if you want to be hooked up with drugs. They're bad news. She's in the right spot. All the bleeding hearts that say the baggage handler put it in there? well sure they are part of the operation, but Shackled did the deed!
@melindagreenjeans FOR THE 15 BILLIONTH TIME! SCHAPELLE DIDN'T CARRY THE BOOGIE BOARD BAG!!!! Her sixteen year-old brother dragged it along with four other bags to the counter. If she didn't look at the bag and didn't carry the bag how is she supposed to know it's weight? As it happens, she did notice something odd about the bag. So what was she supposed to do? This argument smacks of 'dumb and dumber'. How do you know what she noticed?
@melindagreenjeans You call them the 'Corgies'. You know all about them but don't even know there name. Maybe I am wrong to fight for the justice of people like you who can't seem to think for themselves. If the Corbys are so into drugs where is their money? Why is it that the whole family shares a housing commissioned duplex?
@katie34452 Australia was so convinced of Schapelle's innocence that people were ringing talk-back radio suggesting that we send in the SAS to extract her. They were saying that because it was clear that the Indonesian authorities were not going to acquit her when they sponsored marches and protests calling for Schapelle's death before she had even been to trial... and this was for a marijuana offence. The lie that Australians were taking grass to Bali was published the day before the verdict.
Is the Indonesian starded "without a doubt"? If you were to use the U.S. standard, for instance, the state would be required to prove its case "beyond a RESONABLE doubt". The key word there is reasonable. I believe Australia has a similar burden. Under that standard, and the standard in Australia, she would have been convicted without question given the evidence here. The greatest hole in your theory rests with the fact that she owned the luggage and she was travelling.
@xChuckNorrisKickx What is your understanding in regards to the evidence? To begin with, one of the judges stated that he had never found for the defendants in a drugs case and with a little bit of research I discovered that Indonesian courts hardly ever find for the defendants in any criminal case unless your name is Suharto. I am happy to post references should you need them. In the words of a local to the media, "If the police say you are guilty, you are guilty."
As for the evidence, we must consider all the evidence including the actions of the Bali Police. They systematically destroyed all measurable evidence in such a way that would shaft an innocent person - not to mention their deceit to try to get Schapelle to sign a confession written in Indonesian. If they believed her to be guilty why not simply reweigh her luggage and compare that figure with the weight printed on her ticket? But there is so much more.
The end result was that Schapelle was convicted of importation but no one knows and we are supposed to believe that no one cares what she actually did. Was she merely an opportunist or was she a courier for a much larger operation? Does this traffic continue? Was Mercedes guilty and supposed to recieve the drugs? Were her travelling companions co-conspirators? Did she grow the drugs, buy the drugs, or were they given to her? How can anyone say this was justice when no one wanted answers?
Of course they would have picked up the hash in Oz. The dogs picked up "a residue smell" on my jeans from my Egyptian husbands sheesha that had hash in it and 'd left Egypt nearly 2 days before hand.
@sistablu It was marijuana but valid point all the same. Opinion from Australian Customs was that the boogie board bag bursting at the seams with marijuana contravened size regulations and would never have made it through two Australian airports. The fact that the Indonesian authorities threw away evidence that they alleged supported their case makes their actions highly suspect.
@DJWOLFEN01 I agree maybe we will never find out how the marijuana got in the boogie board bag but IF they had done a test whether it was from Australia or Indonesia,weighed it properly and not burnt the evidence etc maybe this poor girl wouldnt have to have rotted for 6years in a Bali jail.
You clearly don't have the brains to be a halfwit mate. Act of War. Twisting evidence to suit you own introverted conspiracy theories. Crying innocent for someone caught red handed. Your claims are based on falsehoods. Why DNA and fingerprint when the bag was hers (IE covered in DNA)& she fought over it with customs (therefore fingerprints). Customs don't weight luggage - airlines do for fuel charges. You are a dick and no one cares.Tourism to Bali has increased every year since 2005 so eat shit
@SchapaCORBYdruggo I really look forward to your posts. LOOK EVERYONE, THIS IS TYPICAL OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE SCHAPELLE IS GUILTY.
I don't think you've managed to get a single thing right. Where did you get the story that Schapelle fought over the plastic bag or even touched it? The police tried to get her to touch it but she refused. And how does a bag get "covered in DNA?" Do you know what DNA is? I think you have it confused with barbecue sauce.
Schapelle begged the arresting officers to fingerprint the bag because she knew she hadn't touched it. She wanted the marijuana to be forensically tested to identify the contaminants. As for the weighing, customs do weigh luggage when that luggage was carrying 4Kg of marijuana because investigating police who want a conviction demand that they do so. Finally, tourism to Bali has never reached pre-2002 levels and current levels are falling. You're really disturbed and you are showing it.

Hi everyone.Thanks for your support and everything.If it wasn't for Dumb mother fuckers like my supporters who wouldn't know the truth if it bit them on the arse I'd only have my family - and Fuck - Look where that's got me. Oh and DJWOLFEN01 aren't you the clever one - smarter then anyone I know. A real Clever Dick
@SchapaCORBYdruggo So, you got banned from Youtube for emulating someone else and you've come back under another name. Is deceit your only recourse? I'm glad you posted actually because I want people to see the calibre of the bigots who would condemn an innocent woman without knowing a thing about the case. Schapelle's supporters quote verifiable facts and make arguments but those who insist Schapelle is guilty just hurl abuse because they have nothing else.
For others who believe that Schapelle is guilty, lets look at how things are. Corby supporters want the truth to come out. They want discussion and debate. They want investigation and an enquiry because Schapelle is really innocent. Those who say that Schapelle is guilty attack Corby support being careful to avoid any discussion of the case. They want to bury the truth and they ignore the most basic things like the Corby family lives in a housing commission duplex and have no assets.
@001TheSentaneL Currently, I am compiling a book and your opening comment concerns an entire chapter. Indonesian courts don't employ stenographers since the function of their courts has only ever been to give the appearance of lawfulness to a despotic government that controls the legal outcomes. They don't record the proceedings so you are wrong to say that the defence had transcripts. However, much that was said in court was recorded by interested groups and I do have access to some of it.
As for my information, it comes from an academic background concerning the law and South East Asia along with research and very little is reliant on the media other than examples of where the media veered from the truth. As for the family, they were poor and that is something the media did all they could to hide. What you ignore is that in spite of our government's willingness to call them "drug traffickers" and the media painting far-fetched connections, no police had any interest in them.
Finally, you ask for the evidence list and that is easy. All evidence including the CCTV footage from all 3 airports was destroyed or went missing. Do you think they incriminated Schapelle? The Indonesian police refused to preserve fingerprints and when Schapelle begged them to wear gloves they laughed at her. Do you think they were giving her a break? Do you think destroying her fingerprints was funny?
In court, as her lawyer was applying for the inner bag to be fingerprinted Judge Sirait called for the marijuana to be handed up to the bench. He reached in and rubbed his hands all over the inner bag. They did drug test her and no traces were discovered and marijuana stays in the body for 3 months but in spite of being asked at the airport several times they refused to re-weigh her luggage. A discrepancy of 4kg would have confirmed her guilt or innocence. They didn't want to know.
If Schapelle had been guilty, reweighing her luggage would have proven it and yet the other bags under her name were left in plain view of the public and weren't even opened never mind, weighed. Do you think the Bali Police were psychic? Or perhaps they were giving her a sporting chance and instead of a quick trial with Schapelle being forced to plead guilty they wanted a drawn out process that involved two trials.
Howard's joint Indonesian/Australian task force to combat transnational crime including terrorism, drug trafficking and people smuggling dissolved the day Schapelle was arrested. All co-operation from Indonesia ceased. They claimed Schapelle imported marijuana from Australia but then referred to it as an internal Indonesian matter refusing to give the AFP a sample of the drugs which prevented any investigation in Australia from being tied to the Corby case.
So your evidence list is easy: None from the defence. It was all ignored, destroyed or vetoed. The prosecution presented the marijuana of unknown origin and quality and their witness, Customs officer Winata, who told three conflicting stories. One in the first trial, one in the second trial and a totally different story to the media. Unfortunately, her lawyers were representing the interests of the Indonesian Government and not Schapelle and they never contested anything.
Finally, SentaneL, this is 1000th of the picture. The real truth will stun you. An act of war is not determined by the number of deaths or by the number targeted but rather by the intent of a government to target the territory or citizenry of another nation. Schapelle's arrest was an act of war. The drugs were planted on her and she was convicted and there was little Australia could do. They could allow this to escalate or to saboutage her. People need to question what really happened.
@DJWOLFEN01 Just to make sure you know, the commenter calling themself TheSentaneL, is an impersonator copying me, to deliberately cause confusion, by making it appear as though I've changed my mind. I seldom comment under this name now. This copycat is most probably the same user, who once commented under the name BradMilne101. He never was able to effectively respond to any of your arguments, or mine, so he had to resort to lowly cheat's tactics.
Its a barbaric court system that ignores Corbys call for just the simple rights of innocence ..., I am just horrified for Corby ....with hopes that this publicity will help

Could the stuff, have actually originated in Australia?
Could it be ...that someone in Australia, called Indonesia and told them NOT to collect any evidence?
...thus, making it appear as though the Indonesians had planted it?
They wouldn't care of course, since the evidence was destroyed, no-one can ever prove anything, either way.

@o1ooo1o Your scenario is not possible. Marijuana is not an item that goes anywhere near airports as a commercial concern. It is similar in price and profit to tax-free cigarettes, stolen clothes, and stolen white goods and they don't go by air either. The 4.2Kg had a wholesale value of just over $12,000. The baggage handlers who brought in the cocaine got paid $300,000 each and the cocaine was worth millions. There's just not enough money in marijuana for the bribes you'd need.

...whoever it is that gets caught with it ....we can easily shift focus onto them, and their family and connections, and make them appear guilty in the public mind.
It'll all be sweet, relations between our countries will be intact. Our people will still keep holidaying in your country, our corruption doesn't get exposed, and our airports and our national airline ...are spared from scrutiny.
We both win, and one pawn will take the fall. Sound reasonable to you...?"

@o1ooo1o In addition, your scenario has too many if this and if that and if something else. It is far more likely to be exactly what it looked like and I don't know any Prime Ministers or any politicians at all, for that matter that would risk their careers or their legacies to be put at risk for the benefit of underlings. The other problem with it is that democracies have all sorts of oversight and they'd love to catch polies pulling that crap.

The AFP aren't an intelligence force that has independence or makes policy. They are cops who answer to the Prime Minister. When you say they were corrupt why did Amnesty International, the Innocence Project and other global humanitarian organisations all reject Schapelle's case. They didn't even look into it. You need to research this.
DJWOLFEN01 5 days ago
....because any of this evidence, is likely to shine the spotlight back onto us. So we need you to veto it all, and the unfortunate passenger caught with it ...must be found guilty.
If there's any backlash here in Australia, or if people start asking questions about the nature of the trial, OR any other serious questions... we'll deal with it.
It'll be easy to use our media, to manage public opinion, and shift focus away from these issues. Our populous is very gullible.... (CONT)

We don't want to investigate this here, and we don't want you to investigate either. We want you to abandon your proper Code of Procedure, and refuse to collect evidence. DON'T reweigh the luggage, DON'T collect finger prints or DNA, and destroy the stuff as soon as possible.... (CONT)
o1ooo1o 6 days ago
@o1ooo1o There are so many arguments against this. Anyone caught with 4.2Kg of marijuana has about a 50% chance of recieving a suspended jail term (no prison time and about $1000 fine) Even a severe sentence wouldn't exceed 2 years - out in 9 months for good behaviour. If it came from Australia, by allowing the marijuana to go to Bali, an international spotlight was focused on Brisbane and Sydney airports that interupted millions in drug imports - heroin and cocaine.
DJWOLFEN01 5 days ago
@DJWOLFEN01 I'm not quite sure what you mean by this.
Are you saying ...it's more logical, that if the AFP knew about a package of marijuana on it's way to Bali, that they'd be happier ...to just do nothing, ...and let the spotlight be focused on Australian airports...?
...or with any luck, whoever gets caught with it, ...may only just get a light sentence and a small fine? (50% chance)
...or with more luck, it'll just go through undetected?
Would they be that complacent...?
o1ooo1o 5 days ago
@o1ooo1o no, it's your supposition based on an assumption that defies fact to begin with. If "the AFP had to prevent their criminality... from being exposed" as you maintain then they are hardly going to put their hand up by informing the Bali Police of "the package", are they? The parking fine-like sentences for grass offences in Aust means that any criminal gang would assign an underling to take the fall for a grass offence in Aus rather than create an international spotlight.
DJWOLFEN01 5 days ago
@DJWOLFEN01 For the record, I still believe it was the Bali police who planted it, at their end.
The scenario I have put forward, was just a hypothetical ...and I agree it has many 'ifs' and 'maybes' ...but I just wanted to see, if there could possibly be a viable alternate theory, that also accords with the known facts ...that supports an Australian origin, for the marijuana.
o1ooo1o 5 days ago
@o1ooo1o As far as propaganda went what the Australian government did in this case was breathtaking and I finally understood how Hitler could take a nation of law abiding citizens and turn them into brutal zealots whose own sense of superiority could make the holocaust acceptable. The Australian Government turned 91% certainty of Schapelle's innocence to at least 70% belief in her guilt in less than 6 months without introducing a single new fact. It was masterful. (CONT)
DJWOLFEN01 5 days ago
(CONT) But these people who turned had been upset over how unfairly Schapelle was being treated in Indonesia and how corrupt their legal system was that a judge would say on 60 minutes that he had never acquitted a case in the last 500. Is it reasonable to believe that our government who had performed this masterful feat of turning hatred for Indonesia into hatred of an Australian thereby making the Indonesians the victim of 'Schapelle's crime'... (CONT)
DJWOLFEN01 5 days ago
(CONT) would then leave those who could never believe Schapelle was guilty to then campaign and undo all the work that the Government had done? The danger was that the Australian people would accuse Indonesia and escalate hostilities as they had done in 2005. Everyone had to believe that Schapelle was guilty; those who couldn't had to believe an Australian was guilty. We are a democracy; you are allowed to call them corrupt and nobody cares. Indonesia is not so forgiving.
DJWOLFEN01 5 days ago
@DJWOLFEN01 That scenario, was my best attempt to put together an alternate theory, and I wanted to see how well, it would stand up to your arguments.
I was pretty sure it would fail. It relies upon the idea, that marijuana was being moved around within Australia, by baggage handlers at major Australian airports ...and the AFP were also paid, to keep it under wraps.
The weight / profit ratio for weed, is one of the main things, that debunks this idea.
Occam's razor, I guess.

@DJWOLFEN01 So, to be clear ...I don't actually believe any of that scenario myself.
I just wanted to make sure, I had thoroughly explored that idea, before finally putting it to rest.
As for the Corbys being international drug runners ....NONE of that tripe ever stood up to ANY logic at all, and fails spectacularly ...when subjected to the facts.

@DJWOLFEN01 So, we're back to the Indonesians having planted the stuff.
And the main facts, which I believe point to them, is the extremely haphazard way the stuff was packed.
Inner plastic bag slashed, outer one not even closed up properly, not vacuum compressed, and then stuffed into a bodyboard bag ....along with, and on top of the board and flippers as well ...with the owners name and address tagged on it.
There is next to NO chance, ANYONE would smuggle drugs in this manner.
o1ooo1o 5 days ago
@DJWOLFEN01 Apart from the fact the Indonesians refused to take evidence, the manner in which the stuff was packed ....alone stinks of a set up, by them.
The new film "Expendable" mentions this, but still focuses mostly on AFP corruption, and drugs at Australian airports. It'll probably lead most who watch it, to believe the stuff came from Australia.
But, either way ...the final conclusion is the same . That being that Schapelle is 100% innocent.
o1ooo1o 5 days ago
Knowing that a package of marijuana was now on it's way to Bali, in an innocent passenger's luggage, the AFP had to prevent their criminality, and the dodgy airport security in Australia, from being exposed.
It may have only taken a phone call, to the Chief of police in Bali. Keelty, or Ellison or Downer, or someone else may have made it.
The call my have gone something like... "Look, there's 4.2 kg of marijuana about to arrive on a flight to Bali today. It'll be in someone's luggage.... (CONT)

@o1ooo1o So, how did informing the Bali Police that the marijuana was on its way, thereby stating that they knew of it make them and their airport any less dodgy? Wouldn't they just be hoping that it got through undetected as happened with Steve and Dee?
DJWOLFEN01 5 days ago
...and may have supported that, when they were supposed to be shutting it down.
And so... marijuana smuggling around Australia, may also have been happening, and the AFP may have known about that too, and supported it.
And maybe... one of the corrupt handlers, did actually stuff up, and miss a package that was meant to be collected at Sydney.
o1ooo1o 6 days ago
@o1ooo1o Yeah and maybe the guys that were destroying their own evidence did so because they already knew it wouldn't support their case. Clearly, what you have put forward is so fanciful with more "maybes" than I can count as to be impossible. We know that no one is moving marijuana around Australia in airfreight because none has ever been siezed, ever. Count them - 0 - zilch, nada, not a gram. And the chances that the first perfect crime involves smelly grass - also none.
DJWOLFEN01 5 days ago
I have believed for a while now, that it was the Balinese police that planted the drugs. But recently, I have thought about whether the drugs may have actually originated in Australia.
Just say...
...there actually was corrupt baggage handlers, moving marijuana around Australian airports, and possibly with the knowledge and support of the AFP.
We know that there was corrupt baggage handlers, involved in receiving cocaine from Columbia, at that time, and the AFP knew about that .....(CONT)
o1ooo1o 6 days ago
@o1ooo1o Airports are like big police stations where the criminals come to them. Druggies hate airports - they make them paranoid and for good reason. The only drugs that go near an airport are those coming into the country and that have a volume/weight to profit ratio that gives headroom to the massive costs in bribes to do so. To move marijuana through airports you would need to move at least 2 tonnes to cover these costs. Hard to do that secretly which is why 0 seizures.

NTBushPilot 1 month ago
@NTBushPilot Yes. And very deliberate lies. The way he uses detail with dates and testimony gives it an aura of authenticity but McCauley was not a sucessful drug king pin. Anyone growing hydroponic marijuana with a crop of 5 to 10 kilos every 14 weeks sjould be making at least $300,000 to $500,000 per year. According to Duff, McCauley has been at it a while and it is not money he can bank. So they are all multi-millionaires? Where is the money?
DJWOLFEN01 1 month ago
The Police say that McCauley only grew two crops and the first was a washout. He over fertilized it. The Police can find no connection between McCauley and the Corbys. McCauley said that Mick would put $1000 into the luggage with a bag of marijuana and whichever Bali Customs officer was on duty would take the money and let the drugs through... Why? Why not take the money, seize the drugs, and arrest the courier? McCauley was paid $60,000 by the media for that pearl!
DJWOLFEN01 1 month ago
Michael Corby and Tony Lewis hadn't been that close for 20 years but even if they had, the fact that Duff ignores is that no one is taking marijuana to Bali. We saw a 14 year-old arrested there recently and what was obvious was that undercover police are watching the tourists for any opportunity to arrest or extort them for any wrong-doing. Australians are not selling grass there. None have ever been caught. Is this the perfect crime? Not likely.
DJWOLFEN01 1 month ago
What Duff and his Fairfax friend Matthew Moore have failed to understand is that the marijuana business requires a high turnover. What price you can sell drugs for in a place is not relevant if you can only sell 5 grams per day. To make money in Bali you would have to be visible to the tourists (and to the Indonesian police-backed dealers). It is a whole different story if some surfie is sharing the little he has with a friend... that's not dealing. Off-loading 4Kg is.
DJWOLFEN01 1 month ago
Kim Moore who claimed that McCauley and Corby were connected was downplayed because she tried to get a friend to back up the story for the media cash. The friend told the police and the court that Kim Moore was a fraud. According to Alan Trembath Michael offered him $20,000 to ferry dope down from North Queensland in the early '80s. In what? The Queen Elizabeth? I bought a luzury home in Perth's inner city for less that $10,000 in the Early '80s.

Even though the photo of Schapelle at Brisbane airport shows her to be relaxed and happy, Duff claims that she was nervous and agitated on the flight. All Duff needed during his TV interviews was to bring along one member of the Qantas cabin crew to confirm his version of events which is contrary to the photo. Not a peep. So what were Schapelle's travelling companions doing while Schapelle was causing mayhem? Do you notice how Duff avoids defamation by ignoring them?
DJWOLFEN01 1 month ago
Unfortunately for Guy (and Schapelle), his argumet is easily debunked. The picture of the huge bag of marijuana with the customs official was obviously taken after its vacuum seal had been broken. Anybody that knows anything about how to store marijuana in commercial quantities will tell you; vacuum seal it in plastic and freeze it. Once the seal is broken its contents will swell to their original size. This also explains why the marijuana would not have been emitting an odour.
l0ok5ko0l 2 months ago
@l0ok5ko0l Once marijuana has been compressed it doesn't swell back to its original size when the seal is broken - not unless it is devoid of resin. It will swell back some but not to its original size. According to court testimony the marijuana was discovered unsealed. The outer plasic bag was open and the inner bag was sealed but it had a cut across its entire width so that the smell escaped without allowing the contents to spill into the containing luggage. (Cont..)
DJWOLFEN01 2 months ago
(Cont) Who would do that? The marijuana was not packed for smuggling. In fact, it was packed in a manner that ensured that whoever inspected those bags would discover the marijuana. The fact that the Customs chief claimed that no one in his department saw the marijuana when incoming luggage was x-rayed suggests that the reason why the body board bag was retieved by James two feet away from the carousel was because it didn't even go though customs. The police placed it there.

@claireshana They have been growing it in that soil, under those climate conditions for thousands of years - of course it is potent. However, what the police use to entrap tourists and what the gangs of dealers sell which is exclusively for tourists is more of a statement of their respect for us. It's not cured, it's not even all female plants, and they certainly don't lessen the sellable product by removing leaf, twigs, and seeds. It's like spitting in your hamburger.

@claireshana No the Indonesian authorities really did destroy all states evidence before it could be measured. The conspiracy theory is that Schapelle could be guilty and her family drug king pins but that no one in our government or in the opposition parties or in the federal police or in the Queensland Police or in the DPP or in our entire legal system would be calling for them to be investigated and prosecuted... That Duff would have to do that for them.

@claireshana Michael owned a property (it wasn't a farm) that he bought while working in the merchant navy. He sold that to pay off the housing commissioned duplex that the Corbys now live in. Ros's 2nd husband owned a home as well which he sold off to buy the fish and chip shop. The fish and chip shop was then sold to pay off Schapelle's legal expenses. Duff infers that the Corbys owned two houses and the property at one time which was a lie.

@claireshana She was never Schapelle's or the Corby's lawyer. At one stage she asked if she could work pro-bono and the corbys said "sure". I mean, why not, right.

This has since been rectified.

@KillaChilli I'm not here to promote me but I do have a law degree. Regardless, I have far more knowledge of the case than you since at least I know that the Republic of Indonesia is not a monarchy.

(cont)

(cont) The prosecution proved that Schapelle imported the drugs knowingly because the State's witness who couldn't speak English testified to what Schapelle said in English ommitting the fact that whatever she said was ignored because they dragged her brother away for questioning. This was all that was required to prove guilt and yet her Indonesian lawyers never cross-examined this witness and ignored the prosecution's case entirely running around Aust. looking for guilty baggage handlers.

Yes... Good point. Based on the French Civil code heavily influenced by the Dutch-Roman Law/Dutch Colonial Law; not the Westminster System. My point still remains despite symantics. You say "In any other court in the world, they would say there is no link between Schapelle and the evidence, and so the evidence is inadmissable." It came off an international flight in her name. That is a huge link.She admitted the bag was hers. That is all that is required in Australia for narcotics importation.

@KillaChilli True but in Australia, our police don't trash all measurement and analysis of the evidence. Our police investigate wherever possible and they certainly don't allow the accompanying travellers to leave without being questioned. And, if the only contact in Australia for the suspect arrived at the airport where the suspect was being detained to supposedly find out what was holding up her drugs, they wouldn't allow her to talk alone with the suspect and then leave.

@KillaChilli Unfortunately, this is a poor forum for discussion with the word limit. We both must use language to convey the most truth to the biggest audience.

Maybe they weren't being honest.

@claireshana Not a chance. If someone is foolish enough to commit a crime in another country they must play by that countries rules. However, in this case, this was an attack by Indonesia on the Australian Government who were far too involved in interfering in Indonesia's domestic affairs. The Bali bombing didn't deter Howard but Indonesia saw the upset that a death sentence for heroin in Singapore caused. How much worse for someone obviously innocent and for marijuana?

@claireshana I know and it is a different story to what he told Channel 9 and certainly different from what he said in court. In court he said he was very suprised when he opened the bag in front of Schapelle.

@claireshana And yet, rather than allow the Bali 9 to commit their crime and arrest them at Sydney, the AFP allowed them to leave and informed the Bali Police so that they could be charged under a death penalty offence. What was the difference? Schapelle was innocent and the death penalty would have meant far greater scrutiny of her case. The fact is that the co-operation did end when the Bali Police refused to give the AFP a sample of the drugs. The Bali 9 was the AFP's attempt to fix that.

@claireshana Of couse she did although I believe her hands got in the way as she tried to open the bag for him. 10 seconds before that while still waiting she had opened the bag to see what was in it. When she saw the marijuana she went into shock as you describe. First off, a drug trafficker wouldn't open the bag. They wouldn't say, "I have some..." If the wrong person was on the counter or something she would have made sure the bag was never picked up and it wouldn't have her name on it.

DJWOLFEN01 3 months ago
@claireshana Yes I have experienced casual racism. I was married to an Indonesian until her death in a car accident over 20 years ago. And, you have avoided my question. Winata told the Age SMH that he became aware of the marijuana when the police saw it on the X-ray machine. He said he followed it to see who would claim it and then moved behind the counter when Schapelle opened her bag.
DJWOLFEN01 3 months ago
(Cont) However, when Hotman later questioned the Head of Customs as to whether he cut the inner bag as a part of his investigation, he told the court that no one within customs was even aware of the marijuana until it was discovered by Winata in the public area for baggage inspection. And two things support this: firstly he was admitting incompetence - why would he do that? Secondly, the bag was found about 2 feet from the carousel as if it had not come from customs on the carousel.
DJWOLFEN01 3 months ago
(Cont) So one version was a lie. Since the police don't operate the X-ray machine within the customs area but may have looked over the shoulder of the customs officers that do then the police lied if the Head of Customs was to be believed. And, Winata lied according to his boss which should have been enough for an acquital. It wasn't because the trial was rigged from before Schapelle's arrest.

(cont) As for your, "Winata can speak enough English to describe Corby's actions," how do you know? You're not his mother. He didn't understand Channel 9's interview questions in English and needed a translator - his answers were in Indonesian. That is all we know and his ability to differentiate between "the marijuana is mine," "the marijuana isn't mine" or "that is mine" which was a response to the police question of "who owns this bag" is highly doubtful since she has never confessed.

Enough! Obviously you didn't hear what his boss, the Chief of Customs, said in Schapelle's trial. Did you know that in his interview with Channel 9, the interviewer had to get a translator to ask the questions and he answered in Indonesian. The man can't speak a word of English but testified as to what Schapelle said in court and he even testified that she spoke it in Indonesian. As for racism. I'm fighting a white guy named Duff and to use the racism card does not make you that bright.

@claireshana And you know this how? So Australians are sending plane loads of Aussie Gold to upset the Indonesians and the Australian Government doesn't care? You believe that? The Balinese people are Hindu. They smoke the strongest marijuana in the world and it is accepted there since the Holi festival or the worship of Shiva demands it. So, you think the Hindu priests buy it from Aussie tourists. Where do you think Australian marijuana came from?
DJWOLFEN01 3 months ago
(Cont) In 1981, three Dutch geneticists designed the first strains of marijuana specifically for hydroponic growth. They developed "Skunk" and "Northern Lights" and in both varieties they chose Indonesian marijuana because of its renowned potency. 95% of marijuana grown in this country has its ancestry in Indonesia and if an expat is lucky he will get some of this through his Balinese friends. The tourists get the crap grown by the Bali Police to rob or entrap them.

(Cont) No one is importing marijuana into Bali for profit which is why no foreigner has EVER been arrested for dealing grass there and no one but Schapelle has been arrested for a commercial importation (However, Steve and Dee, a melbourne couple, did find a brick of marijuana in their luggage when unpacking in a Bali hotel). This is why neither the Australian nor the Indonesian Government are interested in investigating this myth. Or do you think neither of them care?

Why was Duff's alleged investigation neccessary? What is behind it? I know, do you?

@claireshana A prisoner cannot sue. It is harder to prove defamation in Australia than just about anywhere else. In most places you can sue someone for defamation if they make nasty allegations against you and then they have to prove with concrete evidence that their statements were true. In Australia, the person bringing the lawsuit must prove that they deliberately lied and that they did so in order to cause harm. Powers and Seven were convicted of defamation.
DJWOLFEN01 3 months ago
@claireshana You have to ask yourself why there is no support for these allegations. And, don't be fooled, things are happening and we will uncover this charlatan. We allowed Matthew Moore to claim that marijuana was being taken to Bali by Australians when anyone who saw the operation with the 14 year-old boy, the undercover police and the way the gangs of Indonesian drug traffickers are protected must see that it would be suicide for a Western dealer. We won't stand still for this.

@claireshana Firstly, Ros was caring for Michael because he had terminal cancer... So he sends 4Kg of marijuana off with his daughter to Bali? To do what? Mercedes was Schapelle's contact in Bali. Ros drove her to Brisbane airport. How could both of them not be involved? Mercedes was in FHM because they were desperate for the money. The Australian Government paid to hire Schapelle's lawyer but the ongoing fees were paid by the Corbys and those fees never stopped for a moment.

@claireshana They knew he had cancer but Mick's news was that it was terminal and inoperable.
DJWOLFEN01 3 months ago
@claireshana No I haven't nor will I. As stated previously, the injunction was not lifted; it was published under a new title in another country. Ros and Mercedes were forced to pay out hundreds of thousands in legal fees, food, water, medicines, doctor's fees and prison necessities. Mercedes magazine money was confiscated as were Schapelle's book royalties. Ros had to sell her fish and chip shop and mortgage their home to pay for it.
DJWOLFEN01 3 months ago
@claireshana As I said, there was no injunction filed against "Sins of the Father". And, quite frankly, as for Michael's criminal history which is a matter of public record, the fact that Michael didn't advertise the fact that he had been into dope in his younger days while his daughter was being charged with a death penalty offence is more than understandable. It doesn't mean anyone is taking marijuana to Bali and it certainly doesn't mean Michael did.
DJWOLFEN01 3 months ago
@claireshana the publishers didn't do any research and publishers are not legally liable for what a writer states as fact.. The court injunction was never lifted. The original title, "The Fall Girl" was legally blocked by the Corbys in a court of law. Courts don't hand out injunctions for material someone simply doesn't like. So Duff changed the title and published it in New Zealand. You cannot sue someone on behalf of someone else ...(cont)
DJWOLFEN01 3 months ago
(Cont) If Mick was a drug trafficker, wasn't Rosleigh also guilty? Wasn't it Ros who drove Schapelle and her travelling companions to the airport? But if you notice, Duff accuses Schapelle who is in prison and Michael who is dead but leaves the rest of the family alone. That's because only the defamed can sue. As for Power she was convicted of defamation. In Australia this doesn't mean that she can't prove her statements; it means it's proven that she maliciously lied to cause damage.

@claireshana Two of the 9 still may be. Indonesia used to be known as the 'Spice Islands' and has had the world's most potent marijuana for centuries. Dutch Engineers used Sumatran Heads to create Skunk. Mick went to Bali to tell his daughter he had cancer. According to the Qld police and every other authority he didn't have 2 convictions - that is a lie. Fortunately for Duff, dead people can't sue.

(Cont) This was validated in court when she and Channel 7 were found guilty of defamation. The police were aware of marijuana movements between those two states as were the media and McCauley was actually involved in that trade. However, both the AFP and the Qld Police cleared Michael and his family of any involvement so the question we have to ask is why would our Government protect a big time drug trafficker? And where is the money? Certainly not in the Corbys housing commissioned duplex.
DJWOLFEN01 3 months ago
@claireshana Both the media and our Government gave the appearance of support which allowed them to treat her unlike a suspect. If they had treated her as a suspect they would have investigated her, her finances, and searched her home. By treating her as innocent they avoided an investigation that she actually needed. The AFP and the Qld police have never been to the Corby home. Do you think they don't care if they took marijuana to Bali or did they not want a record of her innocence?

Just prior to schapelle's arrest, Van Tuong Ngen was sentenced to the death penalty in Singapore and this caused major angst in Canberra. How much worse would that angst be if the death penalty was for marijuana and the offence was a deliberate frame up by the Indonesian Government?

This was their evidence. Turn it around. If Schapelle had been guilty, the last thing she would have wanted was to have that luggage weighed. The Indonesian Attorney General would have had the police who failed to do this, sacked for aiding a criminal. What did the Indonesians have to do to get Australians angry enough to become the aggressors? After East Timor a report was tabled in Indonesia's parliament that said in a conflict between Australia and Indonesia, the aggressor would lose.

No foreign marijuana has ever been siezed in Indonesia and no foreigners have ever been arrested for distributing marijuana in Indonesia. We aren't talking about the perfect crime here. If it was happening, if there was a market in Bali for foreign marijuana, someone would have slipped up somewhere. No one takes marijuana to Bali for profit.

Opinion should have been replaced with fact when a life is at stake.

The lie that Australians were taking grass to Bali was published the day before the verdict.
DJWOLFEN01 8 months ago
Is the Indonesian starded "without a doubt"? If you were to use the U.S. standard, for instance, the state would be required to prove its case "beyond a RESONABLE doubt". The key word there is reasonable. I believe Australia has a similar burden. Under that standard, and the standard in Australia, she would have been convicted without question given the evidence here. The greatest hole in your theory rests with the fact that she owned the luggage and she was travelling.
xChuckNorrisKickx 10 months ago
@xChuckNorrisKickx What is your understanding in regards to the evidence?

I am happy to post references should you need them. In the words of a local to the media, "If the police say you are guilty, you are guilty."
DJWOLFEN01 10 months ago
As for the evidence, we must consider all the evidence including the actions of the Bali Police. They systematically destroyed all measurable evidence in such a way that would shaft an innocent person - not to mention their deceit to try to get Schapelle to sign a confession written in Indonesian. If they believed her to be guilty why not simply reweigh her luggage and compare that figure with the weight printed on her ticket? But there is so much more.
DJWOLFEN01 10 months ago
The end result was that Schapelle was convicted of importation but no one knows and we are supposed to believe that no one cares what she actually did. Was she merely an opportunist or was she a courier for a much larger operation? Does this traffic continue? Was Mercedes guilty and supposed to recieve the drugs? Were her travelling companions co-conspirators? Did she grow the drugs, buy the drugs, or were they given to her? How can anyone say this was justice when no one wanted answers?

@sistablu It was marijuana but valid point all the same. Opinion from Australian Customs was that the boogie board bag bursting at the seams with marijuana contravened size regulations and would never have made it through two Australian airports. The fact that the Indonesian authorities threw away evidence that they alleged supported their case makes their actions highly suspect.

@DJWOLFEN01 I agree maybe we will never find out how the marijuana got in the boogie board bag but IF they had done a test whether it was from Australia or Indonesia,weighed it properly and not burnt the evidence etc maybe this poor girl wouldnt have to have rotted for 6years in a Bali jail.

You clearly don't have the brains to be a halfwit mate. Act of War. Twisting evidence to suit you own introverted conspiracy theories. Crying innocent for someone caught red handed. Your claims are based on falsehoods. Why DNA and fingerprint when the bag was hers (IE covered in DNA)& she fought over it with customs (therefore fingerprints). Customs don't weight luggage - airlines do for fuel charges. You are a dick and no one cares.Tourism to Bali has increased every year since 2005 so eat shit

@SchapaCORBYdruggo I really look forward to your posts. LOOK EVERYONE, THIS IS TYPICAL OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE SCHAPELLE IS GUILTY.
I don't think you've managed to get a single thing right. Where did you get the story that Schapelle fought over the plastic bag or even touched it? The police tried to get her to touch it but she refused. And how does a bag get "covered in DNA?" Do you know what DNA is? I think you have it confused with barbecue sauce.
DJWOLFEN01 10 months ago
Schapelle begged the arresting officers to fingerprint the bag because she knew she hadn't touched it. She wanted the marijuana to be forensically tested to identify the contaminants. As for the weighing, customs do weigh luggage when that luggage was carrying 4Kg of marijuana because investigating police who want a conviction demand that they do so. Finally, tourism to Bali has never reached pre-2002 levels and current levels are falling. You're really disturbed and you are showing it.

For others who believe that Schapelle is guilty, lets look at how things are. Corby supporters want the truth to come out. They want discussion and debate. They want investigation and an enquiry because Schapelle is really innocent. Those who say that Schapelle is guilty attack Corby support being careful to avoid any discussion of the case. They want to bury the truth and they ignore the most basic things like the Corby family lives in a housing commission duplex and have no assets.

@001TheSentaneL Currently, I am compiling a book and your opening comment concerns an entire chapter. Indonesian courts don't employ stenographers since the function of their courts has only ever been to give the appearance of lawfulness to a despotic government that controls the legal outcomes. They don't record the proceedings so you are wrong to say that the defence had transcripts. However, much that was said in court was recorded by interested groups and I do have access to some of it.
DJWOLFEN01 10 months ago
As for my information, it comes from an academic background concerning the law and South East Asia along with research and very little is reliant on the media other than examples of where the media veered from the truth. As for the family, they were poor and that is something the media did all they could to hide. What you ignore is that in spite of our government's willingness to call them "drug traffickers" and the media painting far-fetched connections, no police had any interest in them.
DJWOLFEN01 10 months ago
Finally, you ask for the evidence list and that is easy. All evidence including the CCTV footage from all 3 airports was destroyed or went missing. Do you think they incriminated Schapelle? The Indonesian police refused to preserve fingerprints and when Schapelle begged them to wear gloves they laughed at her. Do you think they were giving her a break? Do you think destroying her fingerprints was funny?
DJWOLFEN01 10 months ago
In court, as her lawyer was applying for the inner bag to be fingerprinted Judge Sirait called for the marijuana to be handed up to the bench. He reached in and rubbed his hands all over the inner bag. They did drug test her and no traces were discovered and marijuana stays in the body for 3 months but in spite of being asked at the airport several times they refused to re-weigh her luggage. A discrepancy of 4kg would have confirmed her guilt or innocence. They didn't want to know.
DJWOLFEN01 10 months ago
If Schapelle had been guilty, reweighing her luggage would have proven it and yet the other bags under her name were left in plain view of the public and weren't even opened never mind, weighed. Do you think the Bali Police were psychic? Or perhaps they were giving her a sporting chance and instead of a quick trial with Schapelle being forced to plead guilty they wanted a drawn out process that involved two trials.
DJWOLFEN01 10 months ago
Howard's joint Indonesian/Australian task force to combat transnational crime including terrorism, drug trafficking and people smuggling dissolved the day Schapelle was arrested. All co-operation from Indonesia ceased. They claimed Schapelle imported marijuana from Australia but then referred to it as an internal Indonesian matter refusing to give the AFP a sample of the drugs which prevented any investigation in Australia from being tied to the Corby case.
DJWOLFEN01 10 months ago
So your evidence list is easy: None from the defence. It was all ignored, destroyed or vetoed. The prosecution presented the marijuana of unknown origin and quality and their witness, Customs officer Winata, who told three conflicting stories. One in the first trial, one in the second trial and a totally different story to the media. Unfortunately, her lawyers were representing the interests of the Indonesian Government and not Schapelle and they never contested anything.

Finally, SentaneL, this is 1000th of the picture. The real truth will stun you. An act of war is not determined by the number of deaths or by the number targeted but rather by the intent of a government to target the territory or citizenry of another nation. Schapelle's arrest was an act of war. The drugs were planted on her and she was convicted and there was little Australia could do. They could allow this to escalate or to saboutage her. People need to question what really happened.
