    If I have drugs in my bag, and I say I didn't know they were there and I never change my story, you cannot rove I knew they were there unless I admit to it. You can only ASSUME I knew they were there.

    Based on this logic anyone accused of any crime will only have to say they didnt commit the crime to be acquitted. Are you aware how ridiculous your claim sounds?

    I will tell you what convinced me of Corbys guilt, the insistence on checking for fingerprints.

    Good thing i dont read that paper.
    I do find it amusing though that while all the papers and tv stations were "onside" there were no complaints. Now that they want nothing to do with it ( did that happen at about the same time it came out that corbys family members are pot heads? ) and no longer give her any coverage there is major venom for them. The facts are the facts Mak, and all of them point to corby being right where she deserves to be, in jail for the importation of illegal drugs.

    As if she WOULDNT have worn gloves while doing it... It is laughable.

    Why? If her prints were on the bag it would have helped the prosecutions case, instead the Indo bastards contaminated the evidence!

    Why would her prints have been on the bag? She knew they werent. But the absence of her prints would not have helped her case, in fact it probably would have been inadmissable.

    Is that her brother James? There are suggestions he planted the drugs and let her take the fall. It wouldn't surprise me if she was set up.

    I was talking to my father about Corby. He thinks she's innocent but I'm not so sure.
    Am I right in saying that she was caught with a 5KG block of pot in a boogie board bag? If that's correct then I can pick my boogie board up between 2 fingers but if someone was to slip a 5KG weight into the bag I think I'd notice.
    If she was one of the many Aussie men rotting in Asian gaols she wouldn't have rated a mention in the media.
    It's like Fox News - if you are fat and black and get murdered they don't give a rats, but if you're a young attractive blond murder victim they lap it up.

    It was 3.1 kilos, I believe - and Schapelle says the boogie board bag contained her yellow flippers, because she put them there herself. If the flippers weighed the same as the pot and she never checked the bag after zipping it shut, she would never have been the wiser.

    I take it that is going to be the back up excuse once the public as a whole rejects the ludicrous " the baggage handlers did it" crap?

    Your father is right.

    Schapelle did not carry the boogie-board bag to the Customs Counter, her brother dragged it there. As it was not his bag, he would not have known whether it felt overly heavy or not because he did not handle it during the check-in process. By the time Schapelle voluntarily lifted the bag onto the counter for inspection, it was far too late to do anything about it, even if she had noticed the extra weight.

    Schapelle's looks have nothing to do with it, that is just a cheap shot that people use to criticise those who are fighting for justice in her case.

    On the question of weight, see The Transit Report here, and here.

    Geoffrey Askew was the Head Of Qantas Group Security, but Alan Conwell was the Airline Security Manager.

    For a full narrative on the 2 QC's debacle, and the damage caused to Schapelle Corby's appeal, this fairly short and succinct report says it all. Mark Trowell was pushed on the Corby defense team by Ellison, he later admitted to working for the government and not Schapelle, and despite not being wanted by Corby's lawyers, he managed to destroy any chance that her appeal might succeed. Thanks Australian government, with friends like you, who needs enemies!!!

    You are either blind or stupid, as the report is crammed full of evidence and independent research.

    But of course, you will criticize ANYTHING which might suggest that Schapelle is, in fact, innocent. You want her to be guilty because it sits better with your conscience. All the while she is guilty in your eyes, you can abuse her and her family on the internet, call them all drug smuggling scum, druggies, "should all be shot", etc etc. Of course, its open season on the Corby's these days. They don't deserve any consideration, they don't have any feelings, do they?

    However, if she is innocent, what then?? You would have to live with all the cruel things you have said. You may even feel obliged to leave your comfort zone and help her, to make amends. This would involve work, lots of it, commitment and dedication, not to mention being berated by Corby haters for daring to support her.

    Yes, its much easier to believe she is guilty, even though she is not.

    you are blind AND stupid if you think that a FAKE report you are pushing is either factual or independent.

    Lol, what you call independent research is nothing more than fabrication.
    I have said this before and I will say this again, if you have any factual evidence indicating Corby is innocent then post it here on this forum. Until then you are just someone to be ridiculed.

    And? The QANTAS security manager was just making the point which you seem to have completely missed that luggage bags are not assigned an individual weight.



    More fabrication.

    I have doubts about whether Schapelle is guilty, but I have no doubts at all about the man currently detained in Bali who was carrying drugs in his stomach.

    I have no doubts about either, they are both smuggling scum and should face the death sentence.

    I am opposed to the death penalty, so I think jail is preferable.
