   If they were concealed in a place that wasn't accessible to others, then,   
   when caught she'd have no excuse like "someone else put them there". Putting   
   them in an unlocked bag allows her to use this defence (though she didn't do   
   it very well).

   Neither do most people, otherwise there would be no need for courts - just a   
   clerk to record the guilty pleas & a book to look up the sentence.

   Not a very good one - her act failed.

   Probably none - like what happened to the Japanese woman arrested & jailed   
   for years in Australia with a more plausible story than Corby.
