But in law one needs mens rea to go with the actus reus in order to be found guilty of a pre-od crime.

I would have simply argued that a girl who seeks beauty treatment & massage while serving a life sentence hasn't a fuckinmg idea

Seems to me that anyone sentenced to 20 years in a Thai prison would naturally be depressed.
Her depression proving that she is of sound mind.

William has a point IMO
Remembering back to the actual occasion, why would anyone be stupid enough to pack so fucking much of the stuff in a bag that is so easily examined by opening one zipper?
It really does defy logic, and why the airport handling thing took off. No-one in their right mind would do something so stupid.
Finally, how did this pass the immigration people when she left?

I'm open on her guilt, but convinced she is as stupid as one can get - as are the rest of her siblings and family

Why thae special treatment ,in taking her to a beauty shop ? Maybe she wants to look good for her girlfriend inside .She is probably licking the pussy of an Indonesian guard .

yes she is guilty and it was only because she was a good looking(?) white girl that she got any attention.

Corby's dad a drug dealer - cousin


MICHAEL Corby, the late father of convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby, was involved in the drug trade for at least three decades, it has been alleged by a family member.
Cousin Allan Trembath alleges that Mr Corby was well known in Mackay as the local marijuana dealer, and moved large amounts of cannabis around Queensland,
"I was in the Kooyong Hotel having a few beers and Michael walked in and he approached me and basically straight out he said, 'Do you want to earn 80grand?"' Mr Trembath told the ABC's Lateline.
He said Mr Corby then offered him the money to sail a boat from Mackay to Cedar Bay to pick up a load of marijuana and deliver it back to Mackay.

"I thought, $80 grand, I could do with that. But if I get caught, 10 years in jail - at eight grand ayear when you've got three little kids - didn't sum up, so I refused."

Mr Trembath's father is Michael Corby's uncle. Their parents were siblings.

Mr Corby, who died of cancer early this year, denied knowing anything about the drugs found in his daughter's boogie board bag at Denpasar airport in 2004.

Suspicion fell on him, however, when it was revealed that his one-time neighbour and friend, Tony Lewis, was convicted in 2004 of selling drugs that were packed in vacuum-sealed plastic bags of the type found in Schapelle's boogie board bag.

In May 2005, The Weekend Australian reported how Michael Corby had admitted to his drug record. He said he had been caught with a quantity of cannabis in his late 20s, but denied the drugs were his.

Lateline also alleged that three weeks before Schapelle Corby made her ill-fated trip to Bali in 2004, a Queensland police informant told authorities that Michael Corby Sr was trafficking drugs into Bali.

The police informant and former heroin addict Kim Moore told Queensland Police that "Michael is involved with the transport of these drugs" and that "large quantities are being moved to Bali".

Ms Moore told Lateline that the "Michael" in her statement was Michael Corby Sr.

erm, have you ever carried a large over sized bag on a plane? (boogie board, surf board, bike or golf clubs?

no ever checks them!

Well, not often. to the stoopid it would seem like an easy thing to do...

Have you ever been 'patted down' ? No, so it would appear to be easy to conceal several kilos of drugs around your waist etc....

It's the getting caught business that is difficult.

*No, I would never try it, but I imagine it would be rather easy to do, and you wouldnt get caught the first dozen times.....*

Schapelle Corby returns to Kerobokan jail after treatment


AAP
July 09, 2008 07:52am

SCHAPELLE Corby has been returned to her Bali jail after being treated in hospital for two and a half weeks for depression.
A large media contingent was on hand when the 30-year-old was taken from Bali's Sanglah Hospital overnight.

She was accompanied by her sister Mercedes who yelled at photographers as they closed in on Corby.

"Leave her alone. Get out, I'll smash your camera," Mercedes Corby yelled, in footage shown on Channel 7 this morning.

Officials from Kerobokan prison - where Schapelle Corby is serving a 20-year sentence for marijuana smuggling - said she had slumped into a deep depression after her final legal appeal failed.

Her doctor Nyoman Ratep said yesterday she was improving.

"Her condition is getting better and she is preparing for outpatient treatment," Dr Ratep said.

"She is now able to be sent back."

Dr Ratep said Corby would continue her treatment in prison.

Corby is serving 20 years after she was caught at Bali's airport in October 2004 with 4.1kg of marijuana in her boogie board bag.

Her final legal appeal failed in March when Indonesia's Supreme Court upheld the sentence.

An appeal for clemency is her last option, but it means she would have to admit guilt.

Her lawyers had claimed she was an innocent victim of baggage handlers involved in moving drugs around Australia.

But in a documentary, aired in Australia recently, Corby's former lawyer Robin Tampoe revealed he made up the baggage handler defence, sparking union calls for an apology to Australian baggage handlers.

Corby's period in hospital has also been marked by allegations that her late father was involved in the illegal drugs trade.

Corby's sister Mercedes has called for an apology over the "lies", aired on ABC TV, that Michael Corby had been involved in moving marijuana throughout Queensland for decades.

First that I heard about that case.

^wish that was the case for me. cannot get away from the story here in Aus

Corby's guilty as all sin....

At least of being a slapper. Gross and indecent slapperness in a public place and without a permit. Could probably rightfully have charges of being a chav levelled against her as well.

Dunno about all this drug stuff though; I started to tune out mention of it somewhere around the 15,987th time "former beauty student" was mentioned in regards to the whole sorry mess. Apparently "former beauty student" was somehow a substantive and compelling fact in this case for reasons that continue to escape me.

i,d do her

Before this happened the Customs were only x raying a certain % of bags that left the country, coming in is a different matter. After the shit hit the fan with the bullshit baggage handler defence everything that comes and goes gets x rayed, still wouldn't have picked up a bag of dope no mater how big it is because it doesn't show on airport x ray machines

Saw the DOC on HBO, must admit she is guilty or the most stupid person on this planet. The bag of ganja was huge - many year ago I was thinking small little bag, but when they pulled a garbage size bag out of her boogie bag - I was like what the fk?

Think she was obviously guilty or covering for someone. Whole family is involved with drugs in some form or fashion.

i,d still do her

Yes - she is doable, wonder if any nude photos running around the net?

Happy Birthday Schapelle. Hope you enjoy it

I think Nedwalk has something for her on this happy occasion

Perhaps DJ Pat could go visit her in jail, and have her hold a TD sign?

I cant believe that this bitch is still news worthy.

Schapelle Corby Tour

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

A convicted drug trafficker has revealed he supplied the marijuana that Schapelle Corby was caught trying to smuggle through Bali airport.

Malcolm McCauley spent 15 months in jail for his role in a drug syndicate that transported 100 kilograms of cannabis from South Australia to Queensland between January 2004 and November 2005.

Since his release from prison last month for that crime, McCauley said he had grappled with his conscience over his explosive knowledge of the Corby case.

Breaking his silence to The Sun-Herald in Adelaide on Friday, he named Corby's late father, Mick, as the Queensland buyer of his marijuana and Bali as its final destination.

In further damning revelations, McCauley spoke of an "arrangement" involving Mick and corrupt Bali airport officials who would "pocket bribe money placed inside the bag" - usually $US1000 - in return for waving the drugs through.

And he claimed of Schapelle: "The truth is, she always knew her dad was a drug dealer."
