Back in 2005 the facts of the Schapelle Corby case were laid bare for
the public to see. She was denied a fair trial, and her human and
legal rights were cast aside. She was sentenced to an unprecedented 20
years in an Indonesian prison cell.

Quite naturally, there was uproar in her own country. All this, and
more, was visible to the public.

The refusal by the police and judiciary to test the drugs for origin,
which could have cleared her instantly, was open information. The
refusal to fingerprint or DNA test, was known by all. The record of
the show trial judge, of never having acquitted anyone in over 500
drugs cases, was exposed. The burning of the evidence to prevent it
being subsequently used to free her was shown starkly in photographs
and images.

The cat was out of the bag. The truth was there to be seen.

BURYING THE TRUTH
Unfortunately, truth alone is not enough. The Australian government
was apparently transfixed, wringing its hands and claiming impotence.
The Australian media? Surely they would rally round, campaign, and
help an Australian citizen in grave need?
