SCHAPELLE Corby remained sedated in her prison cell yesterday as her lawyer questioned whether she'll be mentally strong enough to give evidence in a final bid to win her freedom.
And Ms Corby's plight has attracted support from Hollywood heavyweight Russell Crowe, who says the case against her is "bull----" and the sight of her tears on newspaper front pages had broken his heart.
Prosecutors have asked judges to convict the 27-year-old and jail her for the rest of her life.
Next Thursday, it will be the turn of the defence to ask that she be acquitted. Ms Corby might make a personal plea.
After that the judges will bring down their verdict, possibly next month.
Bali lawyer Lily Lubis said the 27-year-old Queenslander was trying to come to grips with the prosecutor's demand for a life sentence.
"She thinks all of this is only some kind of play, some kind of drama," Ms Lubis said.
The lawyer described Ms Corby as a "nervous wreck" who can sleep only with medication.
"She's still using sedatives after the trial because she's kind of hysterical," she said.
Ms Lubis said the defence team would ask the court to permit Ms Corby to make a statement during its summing up, if she was strong enough.
Ms Corby broke down on Thursday and said her life was over after prosecutor Ida Bagus Wiswantanu argued in the Denpasar District Court that she should be found "officially and convincingly guilty" of trying to smuggle 4.2kg of marijuana into Bali last year.
Mr Wiswantanu said the former beauty student's actions threatened to make Bali look like a drug haven and could have destroyed the lives of thousands of young Balinese.
Ms Lubis said there was "strong evidence" to back Ms Corby's claim she was the innocent stooge of a drug gang operating at Australian airports.

Nah mate they decided to increase her sentence before her brother got caught!  But her brother getting caught just makes them look justified! I think her brother should take the rap for it! It might get her off and he already has time to serve in australia anyway. |

There is good news for Schapple Corby.
PROGRESS is being made on a prisoner exchange agreement with Indonesia but there is no timetable for when it will come into force, Prime Minister John Howard says.
The agreement, being negotiated at a ministerial meeting in Bali, could allow Australians convicted in Indonesia of drug smuggling to serve their time back home.
In exchange, dozens of fishermen convicted of poaching in Australian waters could be sent back to Indonesia.
It is unclear whether the agreement would apply retrospectively, thereby allowing Schapelle Corby and members of the Bali Nine to serve out their sentences in Australia.
Mr Howard said he would leave the details up to the ministers negotiating the deal.
"I'm not going to commit myself to a time," Mr Howard told reporters in southern China.
"I understand from my ministers who are taking part in the ministerial (meeting) in Denpasar that progress is being made.
"I welcome any progress but I don't want to set a target date because it may not be realised."
