Schapelle Corby’s apparent crocodile tears and outrageous web of lies are exposed in an explosive new book, which claims her late father Mick Corby packed her boogie board bag full of marijuana and sent her to Bali as a willing drug mule.Schapelle Corby might just be the greatest actress of all time. Since her arrest seven years ago at Bali airport with a boogie board bag full marijuana, ustralians have watched as Schapelle shed rivers of tears and appeared on the brink of insanity as she declared she had absolutely no involvement in the case. The desperation etched on her face has drawn sympathy from most of her countrymen and sparked high-profile campaigns demanding she be freed from her 20-year prison term.
The beauty school dropout was seen as the ultimate innocent abroad, caught up in a corrupt system. Now it seems Schapelle was putting on the performance of a lifetime, conning the world about her innocence while all the while knowing it was her father Mick, a long-time drug smuggler, who put her behind bars. Or at least this is what highly respected investigative reporter Eamonn Duff alleges in Sins Of The Father: The Untold Story Behind Schapelle Corby’s Ill-Fated Drug Run – an explosive new tell-all book alleging Schapelle is as guilty as sin.

Gidday,
I read this book and there is no doubt in my mind that the Corbys/rose are a very tight nit family who have the utmost loyalty to each other. As much as I dont believe Schapelle didnt know about the pot in here boogie board bag and it was a "deal" gone wrong, I do understand why she didnt spill.....the family had to much to lose and she loved her dad very much and he would have spent the last few years he had behind bars. Schaplle is a product of her home grown environment, pot was always around and dad always had loads of cash.....it was normalized in that family....denial is a strange thing...if you deni all for long enough you will believe even your own lies. Her mother and sister are no where near as skweeky clean as they make out LOADS of skelletons in that family closit!
Those guys that talked about Mick in book only spoke out after he (mick) had passed away...they have nothing to lose cause they already have due to growing, selling illegal drugs.... you do the crime you do the time. We all know that the implications of being caught with drugs in indonesia is suicide...it's written right there on the airport wall!
I have been following this case since she was caught i wonder what would of happened if her boogie board was weighed the space bags finger printed. I would love to know the truth but i belive we will never know. I am reading sins of the father great read cant put it down
