Shapelle guilty

20 yrs....

.... the only thing is at no point did she prove any form of evidence
otherwise

 

You shoulda put SPOILER in the header you twat. Now anyone who was gonna watch

I humbly apologise.. I will buy you a beer one day.

Oh, I agree, I see Ron Bakir has put out a reward for more evidence..
I can see someone popping up saying IT WAS THEIRS> so they can get 20
yrs in bali jail..



From another forum
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Has anybody wondered why there has been bugger all
coverage/quotes/interveiws from her father - Michael Corby???

Well he was the leader of a rather large biker gang a few years ago &
guess what he got caught for??? Trafficing Drugs

I was informed of this only today by a retired police officer from the
Toowoomba region.

All is not as it seems.

Bit hard to prove inocence when the indonesians didnt make any attempt to do
thier jobs properly othen than dig up dirt on her as to why she was
guilty... they didnt even fingerprint the evidence.. what sort of a circus
are they trying to run?

 

Was too be expected. I'm just pleased to hear that they're not
going to shoot her. Since Indonesia doesn't have a legal system
as such (instead preferring the fucked up French system - you're
guilty until you prove otherwise), it's hard to imagine anything
other than a guilty finding.

Still, not shooting her opens the door to a wide range of options
for getting her home: diplomatic, bribery, forcible extraction
and the like. For a country as hopelessly fucked up as Indonesia,
this is a good result.

Just heard the PROSECUTION are appealing the sentence, as it was too
lenient...

12 mths more of appealing and shit, then 3 mths after that she will be
home

 

And the bike she was riding was??

Now that's not true GB, the Napoleonic court system may not be an
adversarial (sp?) one as per the British method, but you are assumed
not guilty under it, the key difference is the relationship between
codified law and legal judgements. Napoleonic doesn't follow the common
law principle of the courts creating law, if it's not in a statute it
ain't a law, no judges making it up as they go along. Yes the judges
and lawyers present their cases differently but that's because it's not
about two teams beating each other up with a referee to determine a
winner (English style prosecution, defence and a judge), it's a search
for the truth with all parties working to bring the truth out - which
gives the judge a more active role.

Oh I agree, there was no chance in hell she was ever going to be found
anything other than guilty, but that's to do with a combination of the
fact she had bugger all defence evidence, what potential evidence there
was, was cocked up (qantas tapes being wiped because they were
requested in time), fingerprinting fiasco etc. But even then, she was
screwed from the get go.

Like many 3rd world countries, justice is served in a different way to
Western society. Life is cheap and the Indonesians can't understand why
we care.

Like.. you'd never see anyone kept in detention here without being
charged and/or convicted of something......

Moike

 

At least not a legal citizen or visitor.

 

Erm
We have had 2 cases and up to another 200 cases of Australian citizens
being kept in those detention centres.
Some have even been deported.

 

me first!!!

wooosh


beer mate?

 

Really? Nobody missed them? Where do they deport Australian citizens to?

I feel more sorrow for the millions of dead, unjustly incarcerated and
displaced Indonesians.

 

Nah... there are many dope's in Canberra, just coz a particular one
isn't on a shelf in Denpasar isn't evidence in and of itself


G-S

 

Now if we could add a few more to that list that would be a great start.

 

If you listen to Derryn Hinch, SHE was the bike.......

 

Ahh, but just think of the TV opportunities.

Bargain!!

 

Which IMO is kinda like being charged for doing 65 in a 60 zone... sure
it's against the law but it's still a fucking injustice.

Yeah, I feel the same way. They really shouldn't be forced to
stay in Indonesia.

After the last couple of well-publicised fuckups, I'm beginning
to wonder if they aren't chosen at random from inbound, well,
anybodies. It seems that even being an Australian citizen isn't
a barrier to being banged up on an illegal immigration charge.


I've had the conversation with She Who Must Be Obeyed many
times: I was born here, grew up here, didn't set foot out of
here until I was twenty-something. She was born OS, didn't set
foot in here until she was twenty-something. She can prove that
she has a right to be here with PR doco, citizenship papers,
everything. And what have I got? An accent and a bad attitude.
