SCHAPELLE Corby's final appeal appeal against her drug smuggling conviction and 20-year prison sentence has been put back a week.
The hearing had been expected to be held in the Denpasar District Court this Friday, but it has now been set down for Friday, August 25, because of a holiday in Bali.
And the chief judge for Corby's hearing, Nyoman Gede Wirya, today ordered the 29-year-old to appear in the Denpasar District Court for the appeal.
It will be Corby's last shot at proving her innocence before she makes a plea for clemency to Indonesia's president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
Corby has long maintained that the 4.1kg of marijuana found in her bodyboard bag at Denpasar Airport in October 2004 was planted by baggage handlers involved in moving drugs around in Australia.
The defence team plans to submit a document requested from Australian Justice Minister Chris Ellison in relation to possible drug smuggling at Australian airports the day Corby left for Bali.
The 19-page document setting out Corby's appeal also claims mistakes and discrepancies by the judges who convicted her.
Her lawyers will argue she should be acquitted because the judges did not properly distinguish between importing, owning and using marijuana.
The document says prosecutors could prove only that she was in possession of the marijuana found in her bodyboard bag, but not that she was importing it.
Corby's lawyers also argue her sentence was too harsh, compared to punishments handed down for similar offences elsewhere in Indonesia.
In making her final appeal, Corby runs no risk of increasing her sentence, as a judicial review can only maintain or reduce her prison term, or acquit her altogether.
Indonesian law says there are three reasons for a judicial review appeal, including new evidence, disparity of decision made by judges at one of the courts, and judicial negligence.
