Australian woman may face death penalty for marijuana charges in Bali:
A stunningly beautiful, young Australian woman who recently tested negative
to all drug tests forced upon her, now sits alone in a cold, dark cell
somewhere in Bali awaiting her trial date to be set and to hear whether or
not she will be executed. 27 year old Schapelle Leigh Corby has been charged
with smuggling marijuana into Bali. The icy cold drug detectives, assigned
to her case say they recommended the prosecutors try Ms Corby under
Indonesia's nasty narcotics law, law No. 82, which carries the maximum
penalty of death for those convicted of importing drugs in to Bali.
On October 8, 2004, Ms Corby was caught with 4.2 kilos of marijuana in her
luggage at an airport in Bali. Ms Corby insists the marijuana was not hers
and her family and legal team insist the marijuana was planted in her bag.
This seems likely due to the fact that marijuana is usually smuggled out of
Bali, rather than into Bali because the prices for pot in Bali are much
lower than the prices for pot in Australia. In addition, the cannabis was
found in a clear plastic bag, in plain view for all to see when her bag was
unzipped at the airport.
Prosecutors in Indonesia, a country which places marijuana in the same
category as heroin, in turn have commented that they are seeking to make a
public example out of Ms Corby.
"It's a drug case and it must be the toughest so that it will intimidate
others who try to copy her," said Lieutenant-Colonel Bambang Sugiarto.
