I know she is a convicted drug smuggler, That's enough for me to want her to stay and finish her sentence.

Well she wont be, she's returning to Ireland. I suppose you'll just have to get on with the rest of your life like she will.

Has she? Did you ask her?

Yes.

She was sent to prison, she learned her lesson. She'll be home in Ireland soon and be able to get on with the rest of her life. It doesn't affect you one bit.

Apart from the taxpayers money spent keeping her in prison.

Everyone knows plenty. Shes was muleing drugs and got caught. She should serve he sentence where she broke the law and was convicted.

Like I said to the other fella, she's coming home.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for her? She's a grown woman who knowing broke the law in a country with a well-known and long record of harsh sentences for drug mules.

Good enough for her.

No, she has nothing to do with you. Just get on with your life.

I'm sure you'll miss the 5 cents.

So all prisoners learn their lessons... must be why re-offending rates are so low! Good logic!

I don't think I'd have anything to say on this where it not for the cock-and-bull story they came out, pleading this absolute nonsense in the press and having the audacity to solicit donations from the public to fund their 'defence'.

Not set in stone yet

Sue McAllister, director general of the NIPS, told McCollum's legal team: "I can confirm that the Peruvian authorities have all of the documentation they require to enable them to make a decision on your client's application for repatriation.

"This paperwork includes confirmation that NIPS is prepared to accept her as a transferred prisoner.

"However, the final decision on the application is a matter for the Peruvian ministry of justice and human rights."

And she has to finish her sentence, No early release if she does come home.

Well she will be jailed in the North so it's their tax money that will be spent IF she is allowed home.

I don't think you'll find her returning to Peru anytime soon.

They tried to get away with it, didn't work. Learned her lesson and soon she'll return to her life as normal. The end.

It's fairly certain at this stage, they've discussed letting her out early but wont say anything for definite until she comes home.

Ruu

Eating vindaloo.

Spoilt little princess doesn't want her holiday to end, gets caught and then proceeds to attempt to tarnish the reputation of the country she is caught in by claiming that the police were blundering and inept, that the judiciary and legal system was outdated and that the conditions in the woman's prison she was being held in were sub-human (Peruvian female jails are very progressive and safe).

Then she goes and admits that she did it of her own accord and that the entire story was bull**** after months and months of pleading and preying on the good nature of idiots who believed them and in the case of a select few, donated money to their cause.

She should have finished her sentence in Peru like everyone else does. For some reason she was treated like the princess that she believed herself to be.

So it doesn't affect you in the slightest. You just want her to suffer because you take joy out of it?

No, I just have sympathy for a young girl that made a mistake.

And if they break the agreement to make her finish her whole sentence then they will never release another prisoner again. IF she gets back she will serve the full sentence.

No i want to see a criminal serve her time for the crime she committed.

Yeah right. You keep repeating the same stuff over and over, it's almost as if... ah I geddit, they're bringing back some goodies for you when returning home! Don't worry I won't say anything. Just tell them to keep the 'weight' under that of a toddler, and they should be fine.

No, the sentence will change according to laws in NI. Hopefully it wont be long till she's out.

It doesn't make one bit of difference to your life. What is wrong with you?

Yeah i can see there is no talking to you on this issue as you already know it all :rolleyes:

So I'm a cokehead because I hope a young girl can get back to life as normal after a mistake?

No real talking to you either as you're only interested in seeing someone suffer for your own gratifacation.

I wonder if a similar "set her free" campaign will be launched to secure early release for her once she's serving time in NI. I wonder if it will get as positive a reception as the fairly mendacious one launched to get her out of Peru.

Personally I felt sympathy for her, drugs criminalisation is a disaster and she's just one of its many victims. However I saw no reason to see hers as a special case and I found the implicit racism and sexism of the campaign supporting her to be deeply unsettling.

Saying "your" instead of "you're" is a mistake.

Smuggling drugs into Peru is not a mistake, its just drug smuggling.

Well I assume you don't dabble in your own supply. Basics man, basics.

I was guessing relative/friend myself. Didn't someone who knew her post on the other thread that was going about this?

Bottom line is she and the other one (whose name escapes me but I'm sure there'll be a book and tacky tabloid "news" that you can't get away from to remind me) are grown adults who - like so many other spoiled entitled types - thought they were "special" and tried to pull a scam (and international drug trafficking isn't exactly something you innocently fall into), got caught, and then came up with a whole story that she later admitted was false.

They should serve their time in the country where they committed the crime according to their laws. It shouldn't be up to the (NI/UK) taxpayer to foot the bill for it.
