Schapelle has always maintained her innocence.

Schapelle checked in her bag at Brisbane airport and neither she, nor her travelling companions, had any contact with it until after it arrived in Bali.

I'm not sure if this is unusual for a bag? The implication seems to be that either a) some third party put the pot in Queensland (even you say it is unlikely), or b) the Balinese customs people did so. There is no evidence to support either of these assertions. And where on earth would customs officials in Bali get 4kg of Aussie hydroponic pot from, especially if there is, as often claimed, none in Bali.

Neither the Indonesian nor the Australian governments wanted to, or did investigate this case.

Are you serious..this was studied and investigated at an official level and private level by dozens of people. I myself have talked to a Balinese detective who was given huge resources, far more than he would usually get for such a case. He is firmly of the belief that she, with her siblings, are guilty and had full knowledge. Staff from the aircraft have talked of her nervy state on the aircraft going into Ngurah Rai. Maybe she just hated landings?

There was no investigation into where or how Schapelle intended to sell the marijuana, if indeed the Bali police truly believed her guilty.

You mean apart from spending 15 minutes at the end of Jalan Double Six or an hour at Dreamland or 1000 other places. Bali has been awash with Australian pot over the years and this is one biggest bits of disinformation out there. So somebody was importing it. It became very hard to get after Ms Corby went down..whether it was a direct result of that or an indirect result I don't know but regardless of that it was a large and well supplied market up to that time.

Also, so cheap on currency exchange rates, its not worth selling in Bali either.

No not true, the imported hydroponic stuff can go for about 10 times the price of the local weak weed. The market is exclusively rich Indonesians and tourists.

I believe the woman is guilty, as are her siblings, and that seems to be fairly universal opinion here on the island and growingly accepted in Australia. I also strongly think that 20 years is appalling but that sentence was as much the result of the noise her family and supporters made and the awful racist nonsense spouted by them and the media who accused Indonesians of all sorts of things including being 'monkeys' and the like. It also came at a time when the country was toughening up it's drug laws substantially, under the direction of Made Pastika (now the new governor of Bali and very highly regarded both here and abroad)whose child had died from a drug related death.

One more thing, I'm not Balinese or Indonesian but I do find many of the implications made in this case, both in the lead post and the comments, resoundingly ugly. There is an underlying, unspoken of course, racism that implies either corrupt practice or incompetence in this case, when, of all cases in Indonesia since I've been here, this is the one where the authorities, knowing how much they were in the public eye, and aware of the damage this could do to an economy reeling under a bombing, made strenuous efforts to not only do the right thing but be seen to do the right thing.

"Schapelle has always maintained her innocence.
Is that really a relevant point? Someone says they are innocent?"
