Jazzmox, you're playing the racist card because it suits your argument. Fact is most Australians are quite capable of making up their own mind in regards to matters of justice/injustice. Take the Barlow/Chambers case as an example, most Australians were sure of their guilt and said they should hang, which they did in the late eighties. The Chinese Australian in Singapore was tried under the old colonial, British justice system and convicted of drug importation. After intervention by the Australian government his death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.
The Corby case differs in that evidence of baggage interference at some of Australia's major airports has been confirmed. In fact, there are two other cases with similarities to the Corby case which the Indonesian judges should have taken into account. Keep in mind that this could happen to you. In light of this crucial evidence Corby should be give the benefit of the doubt. This is not only fair justice but the only course to take if the judges have any compassionate bones in their bodies.
