but shes been PROOVEN guilty
so shes guilty
i think that the courts can judge her better then u and me
Why the fuck would anyone buy at a higher price & sell at a lower price

And are u saying judges are infalliable? What no one has ever gone to jail that was innoecent

even though she is clearly innocent I have to say 20 years is better than wat they wanted her to do considering the wanted death penalty or life... but all in all she shouldnt be there at all let alone in a foreign country without her family
Clearly innocent. Can you please explain how she is clearly innocent.

just because someone is proven guilty dosn't mean they are.
Only she knows the truth.
even if she was guilty... I honestly dont think she seems to be the type of girl that could keep that hidden for so long... things like that eat away at you and if you were guilty it would finally come out..

i am so shocked. i thought she was not guilty but knew she was going to get guilty verdict. sounded like they were going to dismiss it for a second and then they didnt.
20 years..that has got to be hard. you could tell that she was losing it

spell check said:
ridiculous that the judges made the decision based on her not being able to show who else put the drugs in her bag if not her

what kind of logic is that, surely if you were tried for murder you wouldn't have to show who was the actual murderer in order to prove your innocence

it's absurd to think a person who doesnt take drugs, going on a holiday to visit a relative, has never had problems with the law or anything like that would decide to stick 4 kg of marijuana in an unlocked bag to sell for a lower price than it would be in sydney

and considering they have evidence of corrupt customs officials, and that they just busted a racket that had been operating ON THE SAME DAY that her flight took off just lends weight to the argument that someone planted the drugs in her bag which were meant to be collected in sydney

and now just because she happened to be on a certain flight on a certain day and couldn't show how the drugs got into her bag or have the bag tested for fingerprints etc she gets to spend 20 years of her life in prison. she basically loses her chances to get married, have children etc because of bad luck

for a while there it sounded like they had taken her side ey talkin about her lack of knowledge of drugs and how they talked about her reaction of having no idea about it...

I understand the Indonesians want ppl to know how tought they are when it comes to drug smuggling, but why cant they at least let her serve her sentence in Australia?
I mean sure its a light sentence for Indonesians, but not when they cannot actually prove that shes guilty.

it might still happen but australia has to apply for it

australia were clearly prepared for this knowing that things like the prisoner exchange treaty was needed

Someone posted this on another forum...I think its a good point.

What kind of justice system does indonesia have, like someone said, one of the bali bombers was sentenced to 20 years for murder. To liken what Schapelle apparently did to the bali bombers is ridiculous.

The Indo judicial system tends to render guilty until proven innocent cases- which hasn't worked in her favour.

I sense a fierce dichotomy in this thread!
