That's the thing, some people think she could be guilty because it's so simple - if she gets away with it then she scores, but if she gets caught then it looks just like somebody planted it. If it's really well hiddden then she can't very well claim she was framed. I don't think anyone out there (except for the Indonesians) believes she should be punished even if she was framed. Most Australians believe she was framed and shouldn't be punished, but it seems the Indonesian officials think she knew about it, and even if she didn't she should be punished as a deterrent to others if they're thinking of trying the same thing.
Crying that it's political doesn't make too much sense to me - prison time is for rehabilitation, to protect a person from society, AND to show other potential criminals what'll happen when they're caught. And since South East Asia has such a huge drug problem (particularly Bali with its massive tourist industry catering to young holiday-makers and students from Australia) it's obvious why they'd want to make an example out of her. I don't think that's out of line if she is guilty.
Bali's tourist industry is going downhill anyway. The 2002 Bali bombing scared lots of people away and the threat of terrorism and the increased security measures aren't enticing many Aussies to go, and the Corby case has made many Aussies boycott Bali in protest, or just not want to risk it for themselves. Not looking too good for Bali I think.
But, since I believe she's innocent, I hope the courts rule that there's not enough proof to convict her. I don't think they'll ever prove she's innocent, so hopefully they'll just have to realize that they can't prove she's guilty either and let her go.
EDIT: I just read that she's been sentences to 20 years, I feel terribly sorry for her, words can't even describe how she must be feeling. I don't think Aussies are too fond of the Indonesian courts at the moment
