Well, we now know the verdict - 20 years imprisonment with the prosecution mounting an appeal for a more severe sentence. [As if they have not done enough already!!]
It is better that ten guilty escape than one innocent suffer.
- Sir William Blackstone English jurist (1723 - 1780)
I do not know if Schapelle is innocent or guilty... you know that I have said that many times on this blog... and to be frank, that subject has never really occupied my thinking... it does not matter to me if she is guilty or innocent, what matters to me is that the case for her guilt has not in my opinion been proven - maybe it has been proven according to to Balinese or Indonesian law but it certainly has not been proven according to "natural justice" or the standards as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
From where I sit, I KNOW that if I were the judge, and based on the evidence of which I am aware, there is NOW WAY IN HELL that I could sentence her to ONE DAY let alone 20 years.
To be sentenced to 20 years in a hell-hole prison is a travesty of justice.
