Schapelle's Schame

I saw her verdict today on tv. You should've seen her. She was praying furiously, breathing in huge gasps of air, tears welling up and spilling out, face becoming increasingly flustered and hot. She almost collapsed on the moment they read it out, so much pain written all over her.

I have three thoughts:

1. I am very grateful that she didn't get the death sentence - no one should ever be made to die for their mistakes (intentional or otherwise) - ESPECIALLY not for something other than murder or rape.

2. The fact that (apparently) she was bringing the dope into a place where it would be less valuable than where she was bringing it from makes me think that it wasn't her doing. That, and the fact that it was hardly even concealed in her board bag. That doesn't make sense to me.

3. The fact that she won't tell them who packed her bag makes me wonder what she has to hide. Is she doing it to protect someone? This is such a tough situation. It doesn't seem like anything is fair.

Did we know that she gave her life to Christ in jail? Wow. Eternal rewards for 'momentary' trauma. At least Schapelle can know that she is better off forever because of this absolutely horrible time that she is having now. Let's hope they get to the bottom of this when they appeal...
