To put it all in perspective, I saw this post through Facebook today (Mitchell is the name of her son):

I love a good dose of reality...Today we are hearing about how Schapelle has spent 9 years 4 months and 2 days in prison **yawn** so I thought I would share this for a bit of perspective ... 9 years, 8 months and 23 days ago Mitchell stopped walking, and by default lost his "freedom" too. The only difference? Unlike the Corby case, we know with 100% certainty that Mitch did nothing wrong, nothing to deserve the sentence he has been given. So to the Murdochs, who are currently in negotiations deliberating how much this "story" is worth, take a moment and think of all the things that you could do with that money to help innocent children regain their "freedom". You could buy mobility equipment, interactive technology, or fund respite carers so their parents can be mums and dads rather than nurses and therapists. A convicted drug trafficker is NOT a headline, it is not something to celebrate. But a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Neuroblastoma or any of the diseases that are robbing children of their "freedom" or their lives ... THAT would be something that was worthy of a front page billing in every publication and television station in town.
