SUPPORT FOR CORBY A MUST

PLEASE correct me if I am wrong, on a point of law, Indonesian
style.

If a person plots and gives his blessing to bombing a nightclub where
more than 200 people are killed, as Muslim Cleric Abu Bakar Bashir
did, the sentence is 2 1/2 years imprisonment.

Yet if you are falsely accused and convicted of trying to smuggle
4.1kg of cannabis into the country the penalty is death.

In my opinion, this is ludicrous. After doing a little research I have
determined that 4.1kg of cannabis in Indonesia is worth a little over
$1000. If you were to sell it in Australia it would be worth more than
$250,000.

Prime Minister John Howard stated on Sydney radio he is concerned
about "some aspects" of the Schapelle Corby case.

Corby should get all the Australian legal help possible, guilty or
innocent, as she is a Australian citizen, and should have received
that assistance right from the start.

A fair trial with truthful evidence is all we are asking.

Doc Holiday,

Millner
