Schapelle has gone down

Well, the verdict has been handed down and they have decided that she is guilty and will receive 20 years in a bali jail for something there is more than reasonable doubt she didn’t do.  What a difference in justice systems – here proof has to be made that you did it, over there you have to prove you didn’t do it – makes a big difference to if you get a sentence or not.  It is going to be very interesting to see what happens from this point on – will the Australian government do any more or will the Indonesian govt pardon her when they realise the impact this will have towards tourism?

I really do think she is innocent or at least enough reasonable doubt exists to set her free.  What an awful thing to be sentenced to – to be in jail for having you bag used to smuggle drugs.
