This verdict may ruin the Bali economy, at least damage it.
Robert Kelsall, the chairman of the Bali Hotels Association, said he feared a guilty verdict could prompt a cutback in Australian tourism numbers similar to that which followed the outbreak of SARS two years ago.
He said 177 travel agents in Australia had already told a travel industry newsletter they would stop selling Bali if Corby was found guilty.
Australians were now visiting Bali in record numbers and probably brought more money in than any other country, Mr Kelsall said.
Hotel operators could not understand calls to punish the Balinese, he said, when Corby's defence team had accused Australians of being responsible for the marijuana found in her bag.
"Why are they persecuting us when Schapelle Corby's main defence is that baggage handlers were responsible?"
