Nobody likes seeing people go through hell like Schapelle has done. However, there should be a few points made:
  • As somebody pointed out - we AREN'T privy to all the evidence and circumstances behind the case
  • We are fed what comes out of the media - and anybody who has been involved in something that has been reported will tell you that most of it is cr@p.
  • A boogie board and flippers would not weigh very much - do you think you'd notice if your bag doubled in weight when you picked it up??
  • Everybody pleads innocent - tears come naturally to even those that are guilty. Maybe, just maybe she is a girl that made a really stupid decision to take some dope into Bali.

I'd like to see how someone would go getting sprung with 4 kg of dope going through US Customs, or UK Customs, etc etc. Such a pity that all of these "moral" people didn't pipe up when a couple of Australian citizens were being held and tortured without charge, based on supposed evidence linking them to terrorist activity. Where was our government then? Where was the moral outcry? Amazing.
