If I was a conspiracy nut, which, notwithstanding a few ill-informed comments above, I assure everyone I am not, I would be driven to ask such inane questions as:
What rightminded person would take 4.1 kg of cannabis worth $30,000 in Australia to Bali, where it is worth $5,000?
Why did the Indonesian police never take proper fingerprint samples from inside the bag that Schapelle Corby was supposed to have put inside her boogie board bag?
Why was the cannabis which Schapelle Corby was supposed to have been smuggled into Indonesia from Australia never tested to determine where it had been grown?
Why was all the cannabis destroyed before it could be tested?
Why did the Indonesian police never try to discover to whom Schapelle was going to deliver the cannabis in Bali?
Why did the Australian police never try to discover the origins of the cannabis in Australia?
Whatever anyone does, don't visit the sites http://www.freeschapelle.com.au http://www.freeschapelle.net or you may find yourself troubled by all manner of irrational doubts about the integrity of the Indonesian and Australian justice systems.
