Australian jailed for 20 years for drug smuggling in Indonesia

Judge Linton Sirait said 27-year-old Schapelle Corby was guilty of carrying 4.1 kilograms (nine pounds) of marijuana onto the resort island of Bali last October despite her claims it had been placed in her surfboard bag by a smuggling ring.
