With news she could be released from jail in three months, Schapelle is already dreaming of becoming a mum

Fresh clean linen, a swim in the ocean and a beer with her mates are all on the menu for Schapelle Corby’s long awaited first day of freedom. For so long that wish-list the rest of us take for granted was just a dream for Schapelle as she ticked off the lonely years in her Balinese cell.

But with news of her clemency by the Indonesian president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, those dreams could become a reality as early as August. That’s when some insiders say Schapelle will be eligible for parole and allowed to live with her sister Mercedes in Indonesia.

Mercedes was there to break the news to Schapelle last week and spoke exclusively to Woman’s Day about her sister’s reaction from outside the prison gates.

“Everyone was making comments in the visiting room, saying ‘Oh, you’re going home, congratulations’, and she was like, ‘What’s going on?’”

Read the book 'No more tomorrows' absolutley disgusted in the way you have been treated - its plain to see you are innocent, if there is anyway at all financially or physically we can help you we will Thinking of you
I hope the Cretans who took away this young womans freedom die a slow and painful death as she has died a little bit everday and the Australian police who have lied and misguided the millions that her family are drug dealers, along with lying Qantas airways may go to hell and burn slowly. Please check the evidence on this before passing judgement. Schapelle , what is left of your life may you be left to enjoy it. The world is a cruel place but the cruelty you have been put through is beyond human nature.
She was not given a fair trial. Any evidence that could have cleared her was burned & she was visibly laughed at by onlookers in the court in the trial Australian TV put to air. Pathetic Australia. The Government here need more of a backbone with the countries that do this stuff. Rather be intolerant then oppressive. There was no video evidence to help her either at the airport.
she didn't exactly grow the drugs.....i wonder who did, and how many people are involved from seed acqusition through to the plastic bag through to getting to bali? i wonder if she does?
My response to Nebross. She earns millions of dollars and is a star overnight. I guess she has the life most would envy then???
I have always believed that Schappelle is innocent and in time it will be shown. Lets look further into the govt, the police and the corruption and bribery that has yet to be released. I pity the people who are responsible for taking a persons life away because others were too scared to admit what they did was wrong.
She looks good for someone who is suffering.
Most people work their butts off to earn a decent living and never get publicty. A drug addict becomes a star over night and earns millions of dollars jst for telling lie infront of a camera that she never take the drug. Its in the family why tell lie, common knoweledge, everyone knows it.
Shame on the media for promoting a drug smuggler she is guilty as charged her acadermy award act is joke to Austalia and Ausrtalians overseas wake up we have other issues to worry about..
I have always believed Schapelle took the rapt for someone else ..she is innocent and I hope and pray that she gets Parole which will change her life forever and be Free ....God Bless Schapelle that this happens.... Soon.
