Shapelle Corby and the Bali 9

I haven't the faintest idea whether anyone else in the world who lives outside of Bali or Australia, but this Shapelle Corby woman and the Bali 9 is all you hear about on the news these days.

Bali is the last place on earth I'd want to be sent to jail in for trafficking drugs. If you attempt to traffic drugs into Bali and get caught you face death or life in prison. These people in Bali are ruthless! I'm sure crime is much more controlled there.

"Shapelle Corby, 27, faces possible death by firing squad after being caught with 4.1 kilograms (nine pounds) of cannabis in her unlocked bodyboard bag at Bali's airport last October. The Gold Coast beauty therapist has denied placing the drugs in her luggage. Her legal team has produced a witness claiming Corby was unwittingly used as a courier by drug traffickers working with baggage handlers at airports in her home town of Gold Coast and Sydney."

For some reason I just don't feel moved by this case...but of course I don't want her to go to jail. If in fact, she was used as a mule without her knowledge, well whoever is behind it has a lot on their conscience. Good luck to them. I hope guilt eats their insides up.
