Shapelle Corby a huge case of injustice

On the 8th of October 2004, a 27 year-old Australian tourist, Schapelle Corby, was arrested at Bali Airport when 9 pounds (4.2 kg ) of marijuana was discovered in her luggage.

Corby is currently serving a 20-year sentence. She was convicted and sentenced in Bali on 27 May 2005 and is serving her sentence in Kerobokan Prison, Bali. On appeal, her conviction and sentence were confirmed with finality by the Indonesian Supreme Court. No further legal manoeuvres on her part are possible; she may petition for clemency from Indonesia's president, but in doing so, would have to admit guilt.

Schapelle has maintained from the time of her arrest that the drugs were planted in her boogie board bag and that she had no knowledge of them. Her trial and conviction were a major focus of attention for the Australian and Indonesia media. Her due release date, with remissions, is currently 12 April 2024.

Having spent time in jail myself, and having listened to numerous “I’m innocent stories” from other inmates. I was at first sceptical of her claim.

However, after reading her book, I believe her.
