ABC's The 7:30 Report tonight relayed information that a man has given a sworn statement to police and the Corby defence team, giving the name of a known drug trafficker as being linked to the 4.1kg bag of marijuana, blowing apart the prosecution's claim that Schapelle Corby owned the drugs and intended to sell them in Indonesia herself.
Apparently this man has been trying for over two months to get the Australian Federal Police to listen to him, but with no luck. The statement was faxed to Corby's defence team in Bali last night, just in the nick of time, and has been passed onto authorities for investigation. The defence now plans to ask for an extension to the trial, in order to clarify this new info for presentation before sentencing next month.
Hope and pray that more evidence can be found to support the man's claim. So far he has also offered corroborating accounts to police, although it appears he is hesitant to take the stand in Bali himself.
