That's great news for her and her family. Do you have a link to that?

Just do a search for "schapelle corby" and you will find all the info you need.

You'd think then that CNN would be up to date?

Nah, US networks won't touch anything that

(1) makes Muslims look bad - the judge is christian btw, but Indonesia is heavy on the Islam.

(2) would call on Americans to question the sher stupidity of our own drug laws.

she's saying that she was set up to be a drug "mule"...which is certainly possible....Who in their right mind would knowingly try to smuggle pot into a country that routinely gives death/life sentences for such offenses??

& apparently, the grass costs are a lot cheaper in Indonesia than Australia. Doesn't make a lot of sense to smuggle expensive grass in to a place where you can get it a lot cheaper.

I thought they may have been planted, but I read where she was very nervous when asked to open her surf bag.

Frankly I've been nervous in similar situations for the same reasons. 'What if somebody put something in there?' 'What if they find my marital aids?' , etc.

that's not the worst part of it. The guy that masterminded the Bali bombing, Abu Bakar Ba'asyir, just got his sentence reduced to 30 months, same court.
