  • Schapelle Corby: Insane or faking it? ()

It's the question all of New Zealand would like the answer to - has Schapelle Corby really lost her marbles or is it just an act to try and scam an early release from an Indonesian prison?

She's been there now for five years after being convicted of importing marijuana. A Sydney psychiatrist, Jonathon Phillips, says Schapelle has lost her mind. He says she's clinically insane and is calling for her to be transferred to an Australian jail and treated.

Close Up spoke to Queensland crime reporter Tony Wilson, who is close to Schapelle's family, and who is also writing a book about the case.
