Because the courts are from different countries, with different judiciaries.
The cases you cite are/were before the Indonesian courts. Apples & oranges.
Rest assured if Michelle had been caught in Singapore, she would have faced the same Misuse of Drugs Act. But in her case, from the little that I know (I didn't follow the case closely) she would've been charged with possession since IIRC she was found with 2 Ecstasy tablets in her handbag. [/QUOTE]So what would be the penalty for two of those tablets you reckon ? [/QUOTE]This link may help,
