Schapelle Corby may be able to apply for parole immediately, after Indonesian authorities shaved another six months off her sentence. Her mother Rosleigh Rose says the convicted drug-smuggler is in good spirits and positive about her chances of being released from a Bali jail. The 35-year-old was convicted of drug smuggling after she was caught in 2004 attempting to import more than four kilos of marijuana into Bali. The Australian Government has been preparing a letter of support for Corby if she decides to seek parole. However, the Government is refusing to say if it'll provide a guarantee that she'll adhere to a strict set of conditions likely to be imposed during her period of probation. Experts also caution that parole is extremely rare for foreigners in Indonesia. Photo: Getty Images |
