"There but for the Grace of God go I"
A young, innocent Australian woman's life
hangs in the balance.
Corby's judge offers little hope
19:43 AEST Fri Apr 29 2005
Schapelle Corby's emotional plea to
Indonesian judges to be set free may have fallen on deaf ears.
Corby, facing life in jail for alleged
marijuana smuggling, on Thursday, read a prepared statement to a
Bali court declaring her innocence and pleading to be allowed to go
home.

You can show your support in several ways
by first
-
Tying a yellow ribbon around your letter
box.
-
Pledging money to assist in providing
information crucial to defence that the cannabis in Corby's
unlocked body board was planted by baggage handlers at the
Australia Airport prior to departure.
-
Contact your Federal and State Political
Members of Parliament and voice your concerns.
Mr.
Downer says he just wants to see justice done.
"I would hope Australians wouldn't think that Schapelle Corby was
necessarily in more trouble because she is in Indonesia than
anywhere else having been arrested at the airport with four
kilograms of cannabis," he said.
"We don't know whether she's innocent or
guilty and in our system there's a presumption of innocence but I
think all of us in Australia should let the court case flow through
in the normal way."
Well Mr. Downer, the trial
is not in Australia and there is no presumption of innocence in the
courts in Indonesia, where you are guilty until you can prove
your innocence.
I would suggest, that if the courts should
find Schapelle Corby guilty and sentence her to death by firing
squad, and or they impose a life sentence, that the ramifications
will be felt around the World, and that not only will this
Government be unable to hold office in the next election, but the
support you recently observed by the Australian people in assisting
Indonesia and their people during their recent need, will not be
repeated in the future.
If this was your Daughter or Son, would
this still be your excuse to not do anything until it is to late. I
don't think so - You would do everything within your power to assist
the Defence Attorneys, in obtaining the evidence that is needed to
obtain an acquittal.
As Russell Crowe has said "From my
individual point of view, looking at it, it's like it's bullshit,
let's deal with it," anything other than full acquittal is
unacceptable.
