The outpouring of concern for the Corby's and for Schapelle has been overwhelming particularly from the supporters of the Spirit of Schapelle Support Forum. Many of these supporters were sparked into action after receiving an urgent request from the Administrator of the Free Schapelle Website - Schapelle Corby's Official Web site. They have written last minute appeals to the Australian Government, telephoned their local members of parliament and Foreign Affairs Minister Alexander Downer, appealed to the Australian Attorney General and Ambassador of Indonesia to Australia. They sent hundreds of letters of outrage to the Australian media.
"Thank you to everyone who is continuing to support Schapelle. She really does appreciate all the letters and the care you continue to give to her. Today marks a day of terrible injustice and I can't for the life of me fathom how this can be allowed to happen" says Kay Danes, advocate Foreign Prisoner Support Service.
It is fair to say that Schapelle had absolutely no chance to prove her innocence because the cannabis was not ever analyzed. The President of Indonesia has stated that the Corby trial must be so that nobody can complain that the court behaved improperly. Certainly destroying the evidence is improper. The Chief Prosecutor insisted the evidence be completely destroyed to prevent the stash being stolen from a police lockup. If the Chief Prosecutor has such little confidence in his own authorities, then the question begs to be asked why? Is he suggesting they are not trustworthy or simply incompetent?
