i never really thought about the schapelle case much,
after been fed what all the media have been saying i had always just assumed that she was innocent, that the drugs had being planted there in her bag, that the indonesian justice system is unfair, that the drugs were worth virtually nothing in bali and there is no logical reason why she would smuggle the drugs into bali and it must have been the luggage handlers and that she was just a poor girl in the wrong place at the wrong time.
After hearin some points for the other side of the argument however i realise that if the media had showed the whole story i doubt she'd have such mass of people who are all 'absolutely certain' that shes guilty.
also im certainly no longer sure that she's innocent, not 100% sure that shes guilty either but its certainly an interesting debate and i believe that (from what ive heard which i doubt is not even close to the whole story) their is not really enough evidence to prove her inncocence especially with the 'guilty till proven innocent' system in indonesia, but there may be enough to quallify as reasonable doubt and therefore under australian law, be proven innocent.
still even if she is guilty, 20 years in those conditions just for marijiuana is far too harsh...
