CORBY LATEST
Too bad Oliver Stone wasn’t arrested in Bali. Meanwhile, Schapelle Corby’s legal team says she won’t seek a pardon:
The legal team said to do so would mean admitting to a crime she did not commit.
"The girl is not guilty,” said defence adviser Vasu Rasiah. “How can she ask for a pardon?"
Rasiah is an impressive fellow. TV footage this weekend showed him learning of prosecution plans to appeal for a longer sentence. His immediate reaction: “They can go to hell.” Which is the general response of Australians to Indonesian charity requests:
One of Australia’s largest charities, the Salvation Army, said on Sunday that public anger over convicted drug runner Schapelle Corby’s jailing in Bali was hampering its main annual fundraising drive, with many households demanding a guarantee their donations will not be used in Indonesia.
Sad and unfair, but understandable. The Herald Sun presents a photo timeline of Corby’s ordeal.
