Thread: Schapelle Corby - Guilty or not?

Don't know too much about the case and as kingwilly lives in Indonesia he would be right at the heart of the debate. Guilty or not.

KW what do the locals feel about the drama that is going down. There has been a lot of negative and positive support coming from Australia but what are thought
those Indonesians on the street's opinion?

As an Aussie you must be asked about your position and certainly as I feel now that it has turned into a international/ political incident.

Guilty or not the Aussie media machine has milked it, turning it into a soap opera rivaling the O.J Simpson case and regarding selling media air time.

Must also admit that the Bali bombing trial fiasco has added to the spice of her trial.

I can't get UTube in Thailand, but the Corbys are a criminal family. Mercedes and her bloke were quite well known in Bali, Schapelle is guilty, and I found this puerile breast beating that was going on in Australia at the time quite nauseating.

The Corby's that are not in jail can consider themselves lucky.

To be honest, it gets little time and attention in Indonesia, gossip shows, soap dramas and indonesian news are the only things that get any media time.

On the few times it has got any press, there is a feeling that she is guilty and Australia is just trying to bully the way through because she is white.

In fact, the only reason I heard anything about it is because I am back in Australia for a short break.

^ None of your vids came thru for me, KW (DD's did, but that was a book promo). Dunno about the case, but if she carried (WTF would anyone take drugs into Indo?), she has to pay. Just like those other Aussie chicks smuggling heroin outta Thailand, wasn't it? Signs all over that tell you the score. Drugs equal death in Malaysia and Thailand, so she's gettin off easy with 20 yrs.
Pretty amazing that all these chickies in jail look like they just went to the beauty parlour. Enough eye makeup to underwrite Elizabeth Arden.

Like KW, I watched 'Schapelle Corby - The Hidden Truth' (mainly because I was in Thailand when she was arrested and wasn't really aware of all the details of the case). Having seen the show, I feel sure that if she isn't guilty, then one of her family certainly is. I'd almost put money on her 'half-brother' who was on the flight with her and actually had the bag in his hand when customs started questioning Schapelle. In the documentary, he was asked by reporters to comment on the suggestion that the drugs were actually his and his reply was "Yeah? Prove it." Cocky little prick !!

Okay, where do I start. 1st I am a Qantas baggage handler and this bitch and her fucked up family cause a lot of grief for alot of hard workering honest people, sure there are some crims working on some Ramp's around the country, mainly Sydney and Melbourne. 2nd, if I was trying to get a big bag of dope to one of my mates interstate I wouldn't need to put it into somebody's bag to do it, besides even before all the extra security it would have been almost impossible to get a bag that big into work and then put in into said bogey board bag without been seen by somebody. Also the criminal element that does exist amonst baggage handlers are more interested in taking things out of people's bag than putting anything in. 3rd. One of the guys that works where I do knows the guy in Adelaide that was in photo's with her has been supplying the Corby's with dope for a long time. 4th Not long after she was caught I was talking to one of the Customs Officers that was doing a check on a flight that we were unloading, she asked us what we thought of the whole thing, our reply was we thought she was guilty as sin, her relpy was that a couple of days after she got caught somebody in Customs looked up her name in their database to see how many times she had left the country in the last 12 months, answer was 3 or 4 times in 12 months all to Bali.
5th A mate of mine that lives in Cairns and works that the airport there was talking to a Australian Airlines flight attandant about the case, she had a friend that was working on the flight and she said that poor old Schappelle was acting very nervous all flight and ended up being very drunk.
If Schappelle didn't put the dope in the bag herself, she certainly knows who did it.

I say Schapelle Corby is innocent. But I base my defence on the fact I have not known anyone to be more stupid. And stupid is what stupid does - or something like that.

Her family, on the hand, is a different matter.

A couple of questions for the man on the inside.

agreed.

^^ Jet, dunno why you cannot access them, you is in Canada aint you? should be able to, I was expecting some Thai posters struggle. what with TOT and censorship etc etc.....

Like I said, mainly in Sydney and Melbourne and they are only a very small % of the work force.

Except for a gang at Sydney International that got caught smuggling Coke no, most guys that get into thieving stuff from passengers bags normally have gambling habits and use the proceeds to pay for it. Besides we are quite well payed and these days we have security cameras hanging out our ring holes, so it only the idiots that get into this stuff.

She's a stupid bitch to even go to Indo in the first place, and she's an even more stupid bitch for five days ago it being revealed on the Nine Network in an interview with Corby's former lawyer, Robin Tampoe, who said that the story of the drugs being planted in her bag was a fabrication. The lawyer later apologised to Australian baggage handlers. I read the news but I don't need to see the fat cnut on YouTube to cast my vote and be swayed by emotional propaganda. The Denpasar District Court should make her sweat at for least two more years then send her home so she can lap up all the attention and bawl to the tabloids and be a millionairess within twelve months, hang out with Paris Hilton and do a sequel to her insipid 'My Story' book. I'll finish by asking the King Willy how valid he thinks this is to Thailand as he likes to question the validity of other topics that are not Thai related. Just stop and think sunshine - and yes, for once you have started a half valid, semi intelligent topic that is in some ways related to issues in Thailand. So how is Bali this time of year?

Spoken like a true lawyer William!

I thought about this a lot actually and if I were her legal team I would play up the fact that she is just too fucking stupid to have thought this scheme up and that she was a mere tool in someone else's plan.

And it might work, because apart from Cahill & Smith (Thailand circa 1991), I've never seen a more stupid person.

but surely stoopidity aint a defence?

same same ignorance?

In fact, have you heard the news around melbourne/australia? at the moment, sonme famous guy got caught with drugs in is pocket after a party and his deference is that the drugs weren't his cos he was dancing so much he was overheating, so he had to take his pants off, continued dancing and that's how the drugs got into his pants!

Chaser Boys take aim at Schapelle Corby documentaryTHEY aren't afraid to take a swipe at anyone with two of The Chaser boys taking aim at Channel 9 over its recent Schapelle Corby documentary.
Nine's Schapelle Corby: The Hidden Truth, was a hit with the viewers, pulling in an audience of 1.6million on Sunday night and 1.2million on Tuesday night.

But the notorious Aussie satirists were less than impressed.

"It's good to see Channel 9 finds ways to sink lower than Monster House; they've managed it," one of the team, Chas Licciardello told Confidential.

Julian Morrow also had a word or two to say, likening the Corbys to 1990s TV-doco family the Donahers from Sylvania Waters.

"I think they should spin it off into a series ... I reckon they should just go week to week," Julian said.

"You can't tell me there's not a reality show in the Corbys."

The Chaser's War On Everything comedy troupe is in Brisbane for their "user pays" tour, The Chaser's Age of Terror Variety Hour.

Yesterday, over a breakfast of pizza while they taped a segment with the B105 breakfast team, the guys said they would be making another series on the ABC. They just had no idea what it would be yet. "We think the Australian public needs a break from us," Julian said.

"Yes, we're biding our time like criminal masterminds," Chas said.

As for the boys' US Fox network pilot show, that project is on hold for now. "Oh yes, that's coming along just as well as our pilot movie with Universal and our own airline. It's a figment of our imagination," Chas said.

Todd McKenney's Pants Down Drug Plant

http://www.dnamagazine.com.au/articl...p?news_id=5919

Caught with his pants down. No, it's not Todd McKenney, but it's a nice bum though!

Date: 25-Jun-2008
The Dancing With The Stars judge Todd McKenney got caught with his pants down – literally – and while said pants were down, someone allegedly planted drugs in them.

This is the defence McKenney cites in his statement to Kings Cross police about the April 25 incident where he was found unconscious in Rushcutter’s Bay Park after a night of partying.

Police allegedly discovered a small amount of the drug GHB in McKenney’s when they approached him in the park on the afternoon of the Anzac Day holiday.

In his interview with police he said that he had been at a party on the night of April 24 in nearby Potts Point and had danced so much that he had to remove his pants (we're assuming/hoping whilst retaining his underwear) to continue dancing without overheating.

The allegations that someone planted the drug in his pocket while his pants were off are expected to be central to his not guilty plea when his court trial on the drugs charges begins in October.

oh, poor dear.

Schapelle Corby's beauty treatment in Bali


July 03, 2008 12:00am

SCHAPELLE Corby left the seclusion of her hospital ward for some pampering at a beauty salon yesterday.

Twelve days after being admitted to Sanglah Hospital suffering severe depression Corby looked brighter and better, and doctors said she was on the mend.
The 30-year-old spent about three hours inside the Gardenia beauty salon in the grounds of the hospital not far from the international wing where she is being treated.
It is understood Corby had a pedicure and hair straightening. The treatments cost the equivalent of less than $15.
Hospital sources say Corby has also left her room this week to go to the mini-mart next to the salon accompanied by a police guard.
It is the first time in almost four years, since her arrest on drug smuggling charges, that Corby has enjoyed the kind of pampering that a professional beauty salon can offer and the sort of treatments which she herself was trained to do.
Corby made no comment about how she was feeling as she left the salon, wearing a cap and trying to shield her face from the media.
Psychiatrists treating her say that Corby's condition is improving, but they still have no firm idea how much longer she will need to remain in hospital.
Head of the psychiatry team at Sanglah Hospital, Dr Nyoman Ratep, said she needed at least a few more days in hospital before any decision was made to transfer her back to her cell at Kerobokan Jail.

As guilty as sin is our Schapelle.

Australian drug trafficker Schapelle Corby has suffered a relapse after venturing out of her hospital ward to go to a beauty salon on Wednesday, doctors say.
Corby, who is serving 20 years for drug smuggling, is being treated at a Bali hospital for depression but on Wednesday left her ward under the watch of armed guards to have her hair done and get a pedicure.
The visit caused a media storm and Corby tried to hide her face as she left the salon, once she realised a swarm of reporters was waiting outside.
Sanglah Hospital doctor Lely Setyawati said Corby's condition had deteriorated after her outing "... because it's been blown up, she's been chased my many people, she's been afraid".
"The effect is ... her condition is back to zero."
Setyawati said doctors had been preparing to send Corby back to Kerobokan prison but said that would now be delayed.
"We were preparing her to strengthen her so that she would be able to face her punishment, but now we need a longer time," she said.
She said she did not know in advance that Corby planned to visit the salon on Wednesday, but it would have been a positive experience for her.
