Schapelle Corby 1 Year On: Does anyone care any more?
UPDATE: She got her sentence cut by 5 years today
It’s been just over a year since Australian Schapelle Corby was arrested in Bali for smuggling in 4.1kg of marijuana in her unlocked boogie-board bag. It was a media circus in Australia. People boycotted Bali for their holidays, crazys offered to take her place in prison and huge demonstrations (of 10 people) happened in many major cities. When she was awarded 20 years in prison and escaped the death penalty it continued for a few more days as people compained about how hard done by she was.
It was May when the sentence was handed down, and now four months later, no one gives a rats ass. Hell, even my Schapelle Corby shirts have stopped selling! When people realised that she wasn’t going to make a FHM photo shoot, people stopped caring about the little model who couldn’t.

I don’t think anyone has forgotten her, the real crims are still walking free while an inocent Australian is locked away in hell.

One has to doubt her innocence now that these photos of her & the arrested SA drug dealer have surfaced which were taken BEFORE she was caught bringing drugs into Bali. Honestly,
