Excerpt: Schapelle Leigh Corby (born 10 July 1977) is an Australian convicted of drug smuggling who is imprisoned in Indonesia. Corby is serving a 20-year sentence (for which she has received approximately 17 months remissions) for the importation of 4.2 kg (9.3 lb) of cannabis into Bali, Indonesia. She was convicted and sentenced in Bali on 27 May 2005 by the Denpasar (Indonesia) District Court and currently serves her sentence in Kerobokan Prison, Bali. On appeal, her conviction and sentence were confirmed with finality by the Indonesian Supreme Court. No further legal manoeuvres on her part are possible; however, she has petitioned for clemency from Indonesia's President, on humanitarian grounds, on grounds of mental illness. Corby has maintained from the time of her arrest that the drugs were planted in her boogie board bag and that she did not know about them. Her trial and conviction were a major focus of attention for the Australian media. Her due release date, with remissions, is currently 12 April 2024.

Her elder sister, Mercedes, married a Balinese man and they were on holiday in Bali at the time of Corby's arrest. Corby was once married to a Japanese man.
