No new evidence for Corby trial

Banging a square peg through a round hole, is standard methodology in this part of the world. If it still doesn’t fit, get a bigger mallet.

That’s what Schapelle Corby’s legal team seem to be doing. They are in the middle of a judicial review of the case, which saw her get 20 years in jail for drug importation. One of the premises was, new evidence. In particular, video evidence from Brisbane airport, taken while Corby checked in and boarded, back in October 2004.

Australian Justice Minister, Chris Ellison told Corby’s lawyers that no such video tape existed, at her 2005 trial. Despite that, the defence team applied again for video tapes from that day. Once again the Australian government replied there is no tape.

You really wonder why they feel the need to go through this. If there are any other guilty parties, one would hope evidence would shed light on their involvement.
