This is gut-wrenching stuff. Imagine your whole life being taken away from you at such a young age. You can see the anguish in her eyes.
If she is found guilty, it is truly a travesty. The Australian government should be doing more to help her.
I mean, what have they done to help her! Nothing!
And what about this kind of bullshit that the prosecutor said:
"the defendant has ruined the image of Bali as a tourist destination and created the image that Bali is a haven for narcotics distribution, ruined the mentality of youngsters"
like, WTF?
The only thing that has ruined my opinion of Bali as a tourist destination is that fact that if some bastard planted drugs in your suitcase you would be dragged through the same hell as Schapelle and have your life placed in the hands of the shonky Indonesian legal system where you are guilty until proven innocent.
It's complete and utter BS and the Australian government should be ashamed of their efforts to help. It will be Australia's fault just as much as Indonesia if Schapelle's life is ruined.... as much crucial evidence was erased on our side of the ocean as theirs.
