I said yip, yip, yip. because it was, and got on with it! Maybe i'm not normal? :D Good on ya. You are perfectly normal. Many people are inherently honest when caught and admit guilt. In fact the police get confessions out of a large percentage of offenders. Then there are the others.................. :stare: |

| 345339 | 2005-06-08 21:46:00 | The saga continues... Two prisoners hold key to Corby's freedom: lawyer Jakarta June 09, 2005 THE top-gun Jakarta lawyer now on the Schapelle Corby defence team wants another two Australian prisoners brought to Bali to testify that she was an innocent dupe of a drug transport scam gone wrong. Hotman Paris Hutapea, famed in Indonesia for his pistols and diamonds, said yesterday it was essential the two Australian prisoners testify in Bali, either in person or by teleconference. more here (www.theaustralian.news.com.au) A MELBOURNE man has applied to register convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby's name as a luggage brand. Entrepreneur Nick Barnes is hoping to get a large luggage manufacturer behind his charitable "Corby Case" scheme. Mr Barnes said proceeds from the luggage would go to Corby's family, who had "a long, hard road" ahead of them. more here (finance.news.com.au) The hypocrisy of an imperialist neighbour Since soon after Schapelle Corby’s arrest in Bali, sections of the Australian media have waged a non-stop campaign agitating for her to be found innocent in her trial, while at the same time launching persistent attacks against the Indonesian prosecutors, judges, police, prison system and legal system as a whole. Much of this campaign has been based on lies and exaggeration, fuelled by racism. Probably the most outstanding example of the tone of this agitation was the front-page headline in one issue of the Sydney Daily Telegraph, which screamed in huge letters: “Kill her”. This was supposed to sum up the intentions of the Indonesian prosecution. ...Guilty or innocent, there can be little doubt that Corby has suffered an injustice. Nobody should be in jail for 20 years for any marijuana related activity. Marijuana should probably in fact be a legally available substance. But the anti-Indonesia agitation of the last few weeks was never really about helping Corby. It was more about deepening fear among Australians of the non-Western world — that part of the globe now sinking deeper into poverty under the West’s neo-colonial economic (and military) offensives. more here (www.greenleft.org.au) |

Totally agree. |
