According to family, Australia’s favourite drug smuggler, Schapelle Corby, in jail in Bali is delusional, so traumatised by her time in jail that she has lost all touch with reality. Her condition has so shocked her family they are begging the Australian Government to send a psychiatrist to Bali to assess Schapelle and try to bring her back home for medical care.
Her uncle said that when he visited Corby last month in a Bali hospital she sat on the floor for an hour and a half, saying nothing and holding a child’s toy.
"At one stage she sat on the floor with my daughter’s stuffed frog that plays tunes and she was there holding it for 90 minutes without moving."
She would slip into delusional states in which she would think she could just walk out of custody.
"She thinks she can hop up and go, she’d just start to get ready. She’d change her clothes and say ‘let’s go’,"
Her uncle said Corby still maintained her innocence and lived in hope that new evidence would emerge.
"Every day she thinks the nightmare’s going to finish. Now she’s not thinking lucidly at all,"
"She will not admit guilt because she’s not guilty."
Personally I think her delusional state is nothing new. I think she’s been that way since she loaded the marijuana into her bag, got busted at Denpasar airport, tried to bullshit her way out with farfetched claims as to how the drugs got there, magically tailored to her particular bag, but she had nothing to do with it, rather that it was some sort of conspiracy on the part of corrupt airport baggage handlers. Never mind that no-one before her seems to have had the same thing happen, nor anyone since …. strange that!
Also looks like the Corby family must be feeling some sort of attention deficit disorder. Haven’t been in the media lately so time to drum up some more publicity and enrol the support of high profile broadcaster Alan Jones (god knows why anyone listens to his rantings, but for some weird reason I can’t fathom he is popular). Yep, whip up the publicity, try to win in the court of public opinion, hoping to gain enough bogan support to pressure the Australian government to pressure the Indonesian government into doing something for her, like send her back to Australia to serve out her sentence – where strangely I suspect all her mental health problems might just suddenly disappear. Funny that ever since Schapelle got caught in Bali, her whole case has been based on getting sympathy for the pretty girl who can’t possibly be a nasty drug smuggler, and winning a PR battle. Nothing like any actual evidence to clear her name has ever been presented.
