A small amount of marijuana was also found, however police said they decided against pressing charges because the drug was improperly handled by the investigating officers.Packer is let off, but Schapelle is fighting for her life??
Obviously the quantity found is different, however the "treatment" by the officers -- both customs and police -- is the same. In both cases, officials were appalling lax in their approach, and in following set procedures. What's more, in Schapelle's case, the the bag of marijuana had already been opened.
I wonder if she has a sufficient case to take to the United Nations, for an unfair trial?
Recently, the European Court of Human Rights declared that the case of two British civilian campaigners versus McDonalds had been in breach of the right to a fair trial and right to freedom of expression, for various reasons, including that they were not allowed adequate representation.
Can Schapelle take the same route? Is Indonesia part of the UN?
