Michelle Leslie is nothing like Schapelle Corby

This really shits me. (Or maybe it's this flipping flu that I can't get rid of? Hmph.)

"Same problem, new face," reports The Age, regarding the latest Australian to be busted for a drug-related offence in Bali, model Michelle Leslie, and likening her situation and plight to that of Schapelle Corby's.

Let me set the record straight. This is NOT the same problem, nothing like it, in fact. I'm insulted on behalf of Schapelle that she is being likened to Michelle.

Michelle Leslie, who also goes under the name of Michelle Lee, bought these drugs in Indonesia. She had them on her. She was at a rave. She planned to take them.

Where, in any of that, is the similarity to Schapelle?? Schapelle never had the marijuana on her person. Not once. She supposedly imported it, yet her boogie bag was unlocked, and using passenger luggage to transport drugs within Australia is (was?) unfortunately all too common. There was no evidence whatsoever to indicate she had any intention to sell or take the drugs. There was no evidence to say she'd bought them herself -- and, in fact, a lot of evidence to say she would never have been able to afford the cost of such a huge amount, anyway.

Schapelle Corby is innocent, and should never have been held, let alone charged. The trauma this poor girl is going through breaks my heart.

Michelle Leslie, on the other hand, is an idiot.

She was totally stupid even contemplating buying drugs in Bali, at a Full Moon party, no less, known as one of the biggest drug taking events in the world, and she deserves whatever punishment she gets.

There ain't no sympathy coming her way from me, just a whole lot of anger that she makes a mockery of everything the rest of us have fought against for Schapelle.
