Schapelle Corby's half brother James Kisina has admitted he would have claimed responsibility for the marijuana found in her boogie board bag had he anticipated the severity of the punishment in Bali and the decade-long "nightmare" his family would endure.
A 16-year-old Kisina spent a sleepless night in a Bali prison cell with Corby in 2004 after he carried his half sister's bag containing 4.1kg of marijuana through customs.
Recounting the ordeal in a revealing and emotional interview on podcast The Clink, out on Monday, Kisina, 32, maintained their innocence and said the overwhelming global spotlight on his family left him "angry," "lost" and on a downward spiral to his own run-ins with the law in Queensland.
