Schapelle Corby: Dealer Would Claim Pot if Immunized
Time is running out for Schapelle Corby. She has until August 3 to produce a witness who can prove she was framed and that the 4 kilos of pot for which she was sentenced to 20 years in an Indonesian prison were planted.
A Sydney drug dealer is ready to testify that the drugs planted in her luggage were meant for him. But, he will only testify if Australian prosecutors give him immunity and promise he won't be extradited to Bali.
The man, understood to be from Sydney, called the legal team late last week to proffer that the 4.1kg of marijuana in Corby's boogie board bag was actually being sent to him from Queensland and that he would testify to this effect.
If his claims are genuine, his evidence could attest to what Ms Corby has said all along – that she is the innocent victim of an interstate drug ring and that her bag was used unknowingly as a way of sending the marijuana interstate.
Meanwhile, in Melbourne, Ron Vigenser, the man identified as the pot owner by prisoner John Ford at Corby's trial, claims to have been beaten with a piece of wood and threatened that he better testify for Schapelle.
