What is the story about the inner bag having been slashed?
The marijuana was in a large transparent Space bag within the board bag: the inner bag had been slashed across its width to release the smell. This was presumably done to make sure that it was detected by the customs officer. No attempt had been made to hide the drugs within the outer board bag. In addition, the handle of the board bag had been broken, by accident or design. But it didn’t even end there: the police officers on the scene immediately handled the plastic bags without gloves, and laughed when Schapelle protested. One can only assume that they knew the court would subsequently not allow finger printing or DNA tests.
