Just fantasising but imagine the scene................................. dumb ass criminal with her sister Porsche or whatever smoking their first joint together for 10 years or so and the Indon cops knock on the door to follow up the parole paperwork........................pure gold.


Deano

so you reckon they should keep her hotel room furnished for her return

Also the Channel 9 series Shapelle got the actors wrong ,the one playing Shapelle is better looking than the real one.

Don't know whether she was guilty or not,...who does?
What I have heard, & read, is that her parents's fish & chip shop in Qld, (can't remember the town) was the place where you could get drugs. Can't say that I know that to be the truth either,'cause it's only what I've read.
What I do know is that, if she'd been convicted in Aus, she mightn't have even got gaol, so by our standards, guilty or not, she has well & truly, "done her time".
The family will no doubt make big dollars out of this, but I reckon Schapelle would, if she could have her time over again, gladly have had her freedom, rather than the time she spent in gaol, regardless of what consequential dollars come her way.

Did he get the proceeds from it?

The laws are fairly new, and were not retrospective, so he kept what he made.

On the radio yesterday, they were discussing this with lawyers.
Mr Hicks was convicted by a military tribunal. He was paid for his book in Australia.
I don't know whether his profits were confiscated or not. Does anyone know?
Ms Corby was convicted by an Indonesian court. She will be paid in Indonesia.
As much as we would like, Australian law is not enforceable in Indonesia.

If the commercial media want to pay out , it is their money , which they expect to make a profit on buy the public buying the story. I see two fools , the one who is caught and the one who wishes to read/ see the story.

She, AND HER "FAMILY", will get the dollars,.....Not sure whether Schapelle will think it was worth it though?
Cheers, Pickles.

unfortunately he got to keep his money
One small thing he wasn't convicted he plead guilty then admitted many of the things in his book

DPP drops proceeds of crime case against David Hicks - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

I think 9 years is well and truly long enough for her crime. I just wish her and her family would crawl away somewhere and we never have to hear from them again. The thought of that mother and sister profiting from this makes my skin crawl. I don't thing Shappelle really knows what is going on anymore.
