Schapelle Corby, the young Australian woman whose long jail sentence for drug smuggling in Indonesia became a celebrated case in her home country, could be freed as early as August after a court agreed to cut her sentence. Corby, now 34, was arrested in Bali in 2004 after airport customs officials found 4.1kg of marijuana in her bag. The then-beauty therapies student insisted the drugs must have been planted as she had no knowledge of them. The following year she was jailed for 20 years, a verdict televised live in Australia. On Tuesday, officials in Bali said five years had been cut from the jail term. Amzer Simanjuntak, a spokesman for Denpasar district court, said Corby had been sent a letter at Kerobokan jail informing her of the reduction. This clemency appeal was lodged with Indonesia's president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, in April 2010. The Indonesian judicial system allows prisoners to request sentence reductions, generally for good behaviour. Corby has previously been granted other cuts, and with further time off for good behaviour her sentence could end in mid-2015. Other reports, however, said Indonesia was considering releasing her as early as August. One factor that could lead to an early release could be Corby's mental health. She has been hospitalised more than once in recent years due to depression. Even if she is freed, reports suggested, Corby will have to remain in Bali on parole. This would be permitted, even though she is a foreign national, as her sister lives on the island with her husband and children. In 2006, there were moves to allow Corby and other Australian nationals serving drug-smuggling sentences in Indonesia to be repatriated to Australian jails. At the time, a family friend said Corby might prefer to stay within the relatively relaxed regime in Bali rather than a high-security prison in her home state of Queensland. Corby argued the drugs must have been planted in her hand luggage, not least because she made no attempt to hide them. Indonesian court officials insist there has never been any evidence to support her claims.
