Schapelle Leigh Corby (born 10 July 1977) is an Australian woman convicted of drug smuggling in Indonesia. She spent nine years imprisoned on the Indonesian island of Bali in Kerobokan Prison before being granted parole in February 2014. Corby has said from the time of her arrest that the drugs were planted in her body board bag and that she did not know about them.[1] Her trial and conviction were a major focus of attention for the Australian media.[2]
Corby was convicted on 27 May 2005 for the importation of 4.2 kg (9.3 lb) of cannabis into Bali. She was sentenced to 20-years by the Denpasar District Court and imprisoned in Kerobokan Prison. On appeal her conviction and sentence were confirmed with finality by the Indonesian Supreme Court. In March 2010, Corby petitioned the President of Indonesia for clemency on the grounds of mental illness. In May 2012, she was granted a five-year sentence reduction. Corby was granted parole in February 2014 after serving nine years in prison. Under her parole conditions, Corby will not be able to leave Indonesia until July 2017. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schapelle_Corby
