For convenience I've cut and paste the relevant paragraph in one of those articles
========================================
Dr Lindsey said one myth about Indonesia was that it presumed defendants guilty until proven innocent. "This is completely false. There are three separate pieces of legislation that state precisely the opposite."
As in Australia, the burden of proof is on the prosecution to establish a prima facie case, and once that is established, the defence must prove its case in response to defeat the charges.
Corby's problem has been all along that the prosecution has had plenty of evidence to establish a prima facie case, and she has had very little to rebut it.
She admits owning the boogie board bag in which the marijuana was found. And four witnesses, two customs officers and two police officers, all say she admitted the marijuana was hers and that she tried to stop the bag from being opened. In court, Corby has denied these charges, but it is a case of her word against theirs.
