Any sympathy for the British drug mule in Georgia?

I was reading about this girl and actually do have a little symapthy. She is obviously vain, stupid, misguidedly ambitious but I don't know whether she is real player in the drug trade and has probably been groomed into carrying drugs by men promising her the earth.

The penalties for drug smuggling are understandably harsh on Georgia but should the UK try and get her to serve a sentence in the UK?

More info required I think, before we can really comment

None whatsoever.

No sympathy. She’s an idiot.

Shes young, everyone did stupid things when they were young

Zero sympathy. She knew what she was doing. Young or not — you know not go smuggling drugs!

Yeah, but more like making a fool of myself in front of my crush than smuggling drugs!

None she knew what she was doing and now she's hoping for sympathy because she's a woman hope she goes to jail

Not that stupid.

Nope. She got involved in something wrong and now has to face the consequences.

Not THAT stupid, in the vast majority of cases!

I really hope she’s not pregnant.

If she is indeed pregnant then I feel sorry for the child. But not for her.

She signed up as a director for a Chinese business to get them round a ban by Amazon - how dodgy were they to get banned by Amazon?

She then risked her unborn child by drug smuggling?

No, not sympathetic.

I don't think everyone smuggled drugs though.

This might sound harsh but not that much sympathy here, fuck around and find out springs to mind (I find drugs abhorrent so my view is perhaps tainted). Appreciate some people can be manipulated into it if vulnerable, but it invariably turns out in a lot of cases that they knew full well what they were doing but wanted to make some quick cash.

There’s being a bit daft drinking cider in the park then there’s selling your identity to people in China for fraudulent purposes and smuggling drugs four the miles.

I’ve got a dd the same age. She’s doing her A levels, does her sport a couple of times a week, socialises with her boyfriend and her friends on Fridays and Saturdays. If she went to Thailand in a five star hotel for a month I’d wonder where the money was coming from.

I did loads of stupid things when young, including minor illegal things, being a drugs mule really doesn’t sit under the stupid bracket.

Nope.
Bloody idiot.

No sympathy, if you look at her social media posts she knew what she was doing.

I thought the same. How on earth did her parents think she was funding that?

She did not do something stupid. She did something illegal. Absolutely nobody can have got to the age of 18 without knowing that (a) drugs are illegal, (b) smuggling drugs is illegal, and (c) a whole lot of countries have laws and prisons that are a lot harsher than those in the UK. No sympathy.

I wonder if it was an 18 year old black male smuggling drugs into the UK if people would be sympathetic.

There's stupid and then there's smuggling drugs. That's idiotic.

She fucked around and is now finding out. We need to normalise personal responsibility again. I'm not sure why anyone should have sympathy with someone doing something illegal.

Is do feel sorry for her because she’s stupid and has had that vulnerability taken advantage of.
However, she has committed a crime and will have to pay the consequences.

My 18 yo said she’d be incriminated by her posts on social media. He thinks she doubly stupid. For doing it and for (apparently) telling the full story.

She’s lucky Georgia doesn’t have a death sentence for drug smuggling

There is stupid and there is stupid. I did many stupid things are 18, but stopped short of anything that could have put me in prison for a long time. No sympathy from me.

I read somewhere that she may face life in prison though!
