    Mercedes Corby might sue again after Anna Coren comments.
    June 14, 2008

    TWO weeks after Mercedes Corby's defamation victory over Channel Seven, Schapelle's sister is considering suing again - over the same stories.

    It comes after Seven's Today Tonight host Anna Coren went on Brisbane radio this week sticking by the story that already cost the network more than $5 million.

    Coren was forbidden from discussing the case - as was everyone else involved - under terms of the top-secret settlement. She was also silenced by a settlement with Corby's mother Roseleigh Rose late on Thursday.

    Mercedes successfully sued after Today Tonight aired claims from her ex-friend Jodie Power that she and her family - particularly her mother - were drug dealers and smugglers.

    But Coren lasted less than two weeks on the vow of silence, telling ABC Radio host Spencer Howson on Wednesday: "Even though we did lose the defamation case we certainly stand by our story, without doubt."

    She added: "We stand by Jodie Power and her allegations and in the court of public opinion we certainly still have people's support."
