What a crock. The intro to the story says "A rare opportunity for you to judge for yourselves". And then all they show is Corby and her lawyer and family all saying she's innocent, and the customs dude saying she's not.

Sure, we can judge for ourselves if we like. But we don't really know anything, do we? They didn't uncover anything that wasn't known five minutes after she was caught.

Incidentally, two guys were sentenced to death in Jakarta the other day on drug smuggling charges (heroin) -- an Indian and a Filipino, I think. What is odd about that is that the prosecutors were only seeking a 20 year sentence, but the judge decided to have them shot anyway (much to the delight of the crowd). About 25 people have been sentenced to death in Indonesia on similar charges over the last few years, but none have been killed yet. They're waiting for their appeals to be heard.

And, finally... what's the connection between this case and hooking up with someone in Bali? I don't get it.
