Australia in Shock

All Australians have been following the story of Schapelle Corby who almost 8 months ago was caught with 4.1kg marijuana in her boogie board bag in a Bali Airport.

We have watched numerous news and current affairs programs on wether she is guilty or innocent over this time. We have watched her cry and break down, pleading her innocence.

She has now been through the trial proceedings in Bali - her lawyers trying to give evidence that she is not guilty and that the drugs were planted in her bag by someone else.

Yesterday the verdict was to be revealed of her fate by the Indonesian Court. It was like a media circus and all of Australia stopped to await the news....

I was in the boardroom at work with all my colleagues watching the proceedings, waiting, whispering, praying, hoping...

I personally believe that Schapelle is innocent........

Then the verdict was announced "20 years imprisonment and a $10,000 AUD fine"

The boardroom was quiet with shock, tears forming in the staffs eyes as they watched her breakdown and then taken from the public eye back to the Bali Jail....

I will pray for Schapelle.......Australia she needs our prayers

How many Australians will now travel to Bali as a holiday destination?????? Not me thats for sure!!!!!
