As Mike said, in Indonesia you are guilty until proven innocent.
This in itself makes your job alot harder than the western judicial system.
Secondly, this Judge had taken part in over 500 drugs cases and convicted everyone! What chance would you have in that scenario?
Its interesting that Aussy airports now offer a "cling wrap" service for luggage. As I understand it, whenever you pick your baggage up from a carrier you should always check for tampering prior to taking it off the conveyor. If you suspect something do not pick it up, but report it to Security.
I think what you will see with this case that she will spend between 2 and 5 years in Bali, then commuted to Aus for the remaining sentence.
Unless you are the person you will never know that she is guilty or not. A good looking girl who is tearful certainly makes you think sorry for her and therefore not guilty, but you just don't know.
Bring in screening of all baggage by the beagles, not just what is coming into Aus. Does'nt the Government have an obligation to search for drugs leaving the country just as much as coming in?
Put the Beagles in the plane cargo bay prior to the plane departing. More delays, but better than a 20 year delay in jail!!
What concerns me more than this case is the 9 stupid boys who were mules for drugs. These lads do seriously face the firing squad as they were found with drugs strapped to them. Any foolish kid could have done this and we all have been foolish at some time of our lives.
Sad, sad, sad!!!
