The Resume

    (July 10, 1977- )
    Arrested by Indonesian authorities upon the finding of 4.1 kg of cannabis in her bodyboard case (October 2004)
    Convicted by an Indonesian court of attempting to smuggle Cannabis into Indonesia (May 27, 2005)
    Sentenced to 20 years jail and a $13,875 (AUD) fine

Why she might be annoying:

    She has a habit of staring blankly at cameras when her photo is taken.
    She discovered a new found Christianity shortly before her sentencing.
    She caused a media frenzy and received much more support and attention then the less attractive Australians arrested on similar charges (April 2005).
    It was discovered after sentencing that a majority of her defence funding came from tax payer money and was not privately supplied by Billionaire entrepreneur and Korby supporter Ron Bakir.
    She sold her story to gossip magazine The Women's Weekly.
    Her sentencing was the biggest news event of 2005 in Australia.
    She rehired her legal team a day after firing them saying 'I have been acting like a crazy Australian' (June 2005).

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was sentenced to spend time in a Bali prison with some of the worst living conditions in the world by a country which many criticize for it's corrupt officials.
    She kept a smile for much of her trial despite facing the option of a death sentence.
    The Indonesian authorities convicted her despite evidence that at the time of her arrest several baggage handlers in Australian air ports had been charged for tampering with luggage.
    Bali bombing mastermind Abu Bakar Bashir was convicted for causing the deaths of 202 people and received one eighth of her sentence under the same legal system.
    She had no motive to transport marijuana from Brisbane to Bali where the value is far less.
