Schapelle Corby’s Defense Attorney

The prescription drugs without prescription Schapelle Corby story — “Ganja Queen” — shows one of Corby’s Defense team laughing it up at the end of the documentary…and that is F’d-up! No way this is possible! This is third-world all the way. Guilty or not, this was a kangaroo court. Wow! 20 years! Madness!

All i have to say is eyzonm3 saying these things really is , is a shortcut to thinkin so maybe someone should put u in a place and rot as u put it mr shortcut thinker cuz u have no experience where shes been or been through so i stand and agree with KD ..So, if ud pull ur head out of ur ass for a min eyz and put urself where she is maybe u wouldnt have to use that shortcut anymore and when she is provin innocent which she is man i cant wait to see the foot bein surgicaly removed from ur mouth
Why do you want her to “rot in jail”? That’s pretty harsh, don’t you think? I happen to hate drug dealers myself, but justice is only served when it’s proved beyond reasonable doubt that the person is guilty. You could fly a 747 through the amount of reasonable doubt in Schapelle’s case. Sadly a lot of the truth was lost when the media decided that it could sell more ad space by smearning the Corbys. We all know how honest the media is. Not!
That was just how the producers decided to edit that scene. The so called “lawyer” (hardly at that) was talking out loud over how the case appeared to the public. No one knows if she was guilty or not because no investigation was done. However, guilty people don’t usually request fingerprinting, dna testing, and CCTV footage. Again, the issue here is that she didn’t get a fair trial.
I am very stubborn because I’ve followed this case from the beginning and have seen the actual documents and official requests by the Corby family. I can’t prove she didn’t do it anymore than you can prove she did. The heart of the matter is the fact that even under Indonesia standards she did not get a fair trial. It’s easy to throw a stanger under the bus, but would you say the same thing if Schapelle were a friend or a family member? Probably not.
And once again, the if you can’t make your lawyer believe you are innocent then there is something seriously wrong.
You are very stubborn. You don’t know the legal system in Indonesia – I have lived in Bali for 2 years and speak fluent Indonesian and I can tell you that I was correct in what I said about the legal system. I am happy they caught her and I am even more happier that she appealed, got 5 years taken off and then appealed and got the 20 years originally given to her. May she rot in jail and let this be a precedent for future drug traffickers (which it already is). She got what she deserved. SMILE
If you are going to condemn this family, please do it based on facts and not the trash put out by the media which has been time and again PROVEN to in inaccurate.
First of all, there is no $3 million. All those amounts have been made up by the media. Any money that has been made has gone to pay for lawyers and to keep Schapelle alive in that hell hole. The family also takes care of her cellmates. Were you aware of that? As for respecting the laws of other countries, I agree, but Indonesia is in fact an Innocent until proven guilty country. They are one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
Okay but you have to understand once again that you need to respect the court system in another country. In Indonesia you need to prove your innocence and not the other way around where the court needs to find you guilty with evidence.
The fact that the family has profited 3 million from this entire thing is a good determent on what kind of person she and her family is. Even the lawyer bad mouthed the family and believed that she was guilty. She couldn’t even prove her innocence to her lawyer!
I would agree with you if I thought for one second that she got a fair trial, which she did not – even by Indonesian standards. Why did they burn the mj before her appeals were through? Why did were her requests for DNA testing and fingerprinting denied? Why did the airport CCTV footage go missing? Where did she get the mj? Where was she going to sell it? All these questions are required to be answered before you could condemn her to 20 years in hell.
I do agree with you.
However things to do with drugs affect more than one person; it affects an entire community and countless individuals. I believe she deserved what she got. Laws about drugs in Australia should be stricter (heck even the laws in USA are more).
Eyzonm3,
Does this mean that you respect Iran’s minimum age of death penalty being 15 for a boy and 9 for a girl?
Does this mean you would sit back and not speak out should this law ever be applied?
I think perhaps you have made your comment flippantly, without consideration for unjust laws that breach human rights.
Every single law that flouts human rights, are laws that we must speak out about. Every single breach affects each of us – some of us more vulnerable than others.
It might be stupid as you have put it but you need to respect other countries’ customs and laws.
eyzonm3, Article 66 of the Indonesian Code of Criminal Procedure provides that “the obligation of proof is not to be imposed upon the accused or defendant”.
Yet Chief Judge Linton Sirait, responded to Corby’s appeal by saying “Not enough – he or she has to prove he or she is not guilty”.
Do you respect the results of a trial in which the Chief Judge blatantly defies the law of his country in conducting the trial?
Since you seem to be strong on opinion and short on facts, you might be interested to know that the Legal Practitioners Complaints Committee found that Queens Council Mark Trowell, appointed by the Australian Government to “help” Ms. Corby had engaged in ‘unprofessional conduct’ (the sole species of conduct warranting discipline in Western Australia) in making certain disclosures. See: http://lawyerslawyer.net/2009/05/05/another-case-about-one-of-schapelle-corbys-lawyers/ – very interesting.
The Queensland Legal Practice Tribunal,in a written judgment of Justice Roslyn Atkinson, found another once-Corby lawyer Robin Tampoe guilty of professional misconduct in relation to Corby. Atkinson ordered that Tampoe be struck off the roll.
By coincidence, both of events which became the subject of professional misconduct actions against these lawyers occurred after meetings by the respective lawyers with Australian Federal Government Minister Alexander Downer.
An excellent website which lays the conspiracy and corruption bare is:
http://womenforschapelle.blogspot.com/, run by a brave and intensely moral woman, Kim Bax.
Look also for the actions of Mr. Mick Kelty, Head of the Australian Federal Police at the time, and the conclusion that, had such actions been taken in relation to a trial being conducted in Australia, Mr. Kelty would have been in very serious legal trouble.
Google searches on Gary Lee Rogers, an honest whistle-blower who died of natural causes with a knife in his back, or former Assistant Director of the NSW Crime Commission who is in jail awaiting charges over an alleged $120 million drug importation plot, alleged to be going on at the same time as Ms. Corby passed through Sydney airport, would also be interesting.
If you’re in a not good position and have no cash to move out from that point, you will need to take the credit loans. Because that should aid you for sure. I take short term loan every single year and feel OK because of it.
