Renae Lawrence gets a 20 year break in Denpasar Bali

Renae Lawrence, the only female member of the Bali Nine caught a break today. Appearing in Denpasar District Court to hear the sentencing demands from the prosecution, Lawrence was told they were asking for a 20 year jail sentence. All the other drug ‘mules’ have been told they can expect a life sentence, and one of the kingpins, Myuran Sukumaran, the death penalty.

Lawrence was given a lighter sentence because she co operated with investigtors. Said prosecutor Putu Indriani “The defendant was very helpful in giving statements from the probe until the trial, enabling the unearthing of the syndicated organisation and other perpetrators of this narcotic crime.”
Now if I was Andrew Chan I’d be thinking how I could work out a deal. The cops want his ‘upline’ and he obviously has access to supply and demand people. Problem is that a key player in the upline (Man Singh Ghale) was killed by police in Jakarta in April.
The verdict and sentencing will be sometime in the next 3 weeks.
