Corby former lawyer says she was joking about joint celebration

Schapelle Corby’s former lawyer says she was joking when she suggested the convicted drug smuggler would celebrate her release by rolling up a joint and smoking it.

Asked what she thought Corby would do when released, lawyer Kerry Smith-Douglas replied she would celebrate.

“She’ll probably pop a cork of champagne and then roll up a big marijuana joint the size of a cigar and kick back and enjoy herself,” she told the Nine Network.

Asked later on Fairfax Radio if she was serious, Ms Smith-Douglas replied: “No. It was a joke, don’t you have a sense of humour?”

“Get a life. Loosen up. Enjoy a joke.”

Ms Smith-Douglas rejected suggestions Indonesian authorities might take the comments seriously, saying they were ridiculous.

Indonesia’s Justice Minister Amir Syamsuddin said on Wednesday he would make his decision on Friday. – AAP
