Schapelle Corby: Australian drug trafficker freed from Bali jail

Tyler Plummer

Schapelle Corby an Australian drug trafficker who was convicted and jailed 20 years ago in 2005 for trying to smuggle marijuana into the tourist island. She was free from jailed and was escorted out of bali's kerobokan prison and in to a waiting minbus. Then she was then taken to complete parole formalities in the Balinese capital, Denpasar. Correspodents say she’s unlikely to return to Australia because she will have to remain in Indonesia until 2017 to finish her parole. She was granted five years off her sentence due to good behaviour and an appeal for clemency to the president.




I think that she was lucky to get out of jail for what she done, which was drug trafficking marijuana into tourist islands. But I also think that time in jail she learned from her mistake and changed for the better as her conviction was cut short due to good behaviour. I am surprise at this case because I never heard of any women lead in drug trafficking actions
