Check out www.news.com.au. Heaps of news articles on both the cases.

no to sound stupid or anything but who is Chapelle Corby?

is he from the Chapelle show?

It's a she, and her name is actually Schapelle Corby.

Don't get her mixed up with David LaChapelle aka Dave Chapelle like I did when I first read the thread .

lol. I didn't know it would go International. I heard that the US got a little snippet of the story one night. But that is about it.

In Australia it's BIG news. Always on every night.

How can you know for sure? If she was definately innocent they would have let her off

An Australian who was travelling to Bali and when she arrived, a heap of drugs were found in her bag

She claims she is innocent and that the drugs were put there by someone else

To cut a long story short, she was in a Bali prison for over 6 months and just less than a week ago she was sent to jail for 20 years

Its been the biggest case since Lindsay Chamberlain

If anyone wants to know about her, Google her name, theres plenty of sites about her

Fixed

i think shes GUILTY!!!...i dont think someone could have done that

I totally think she's innocent. It just so happened to be that at the same airport she went to in Australia there was a drug smuggling ring were the baggage handlers put the drugs in peoples bags and told the fellas on the other end to take them out. It just so happened to be that they put the drugs on the wrong plane and well we all know whats happened to them. Well thats what I reckkon happened anyway.

she's definetly innocent, you can just tell about her that she didnt know the drugs were there.Who would be that stupid, she was just going on a holiday and now shes going to spend 20 years from her family, if you ask me the least they can do is let her serve her sentnce here in australia

well the indonesians won't let her or not for atleast like 5 or 6 years I mean thats how long it will take for the government to get there act together + 20 years in an indonesian jail is like 50 years in australia but worse because of the conditions.

I wont go as far as saying she is innocent, there are a few things that draw some questions on here innocence....Without looking at all the evidence, NONE of you should b able to say she is definately guilty/not-guilty, so dont try to.....

The question of quilt then basically comes down to the legal system and teh burden of proof. Now in Australia, there would be reasonable boubt to here guilt as to be let off....

However, under Indonesian law, there is teh assumption she is guilty, beacuse lets face it her bag DID contain 4.1kg of drugs. In indonesia, she was caught red handed and therefore its on her to prove her innocence....

I am uncomfortable about the hype surrounding this. WHat about the othe 151 australians in overseas jails? There should be NO government support of her case ouside of that she is entitled too under Legal aid legeslation (which is what the current funding aggaments by the commonwelath of her case are a result of) If we support her, shouldnt we be supporting the other people as well?

Having said that the Bali nine for example are just stuffed. They are as good as dead...

Now respect the Indonesian Legal system and their right to do what they want. Its a little thing called soverinty

Shes innocent. the aussie airport bag handlers are mostly convicted ex-crims. What about Abu Baka Bashir he only got 2 an a 1/2 years for the bali bombings
