I've no idea.
I thought I read somewhere that she admitted doing it though. I'm not really up to speed with how fucked up or not the Indonesian justice system is, but I can't really see she'd be facing the death penalty if they thought she was unwitting.

According to the article:
Her case has been taken up by the British human rights charity, Reprieve, which said Sandiford was "targeted by drug traffickers who exploited her vulnerability and made threats against her children".

Her children who were presumably in the UK?

So she knew she was doing it
but there are mitigating circumstances. Hmmm.

I suppose the point would be "what are the chances those mitigating circumstances would make any difference to case of a local in the same position" ?

I guess the question is, how did you get into a situation where smuggling 5kg of coke
was considered to be what you had to do to stop nasty people threatening your kids rather than going to the police.

Yeah, but Psychochomp threatened my daughter, saying he hoped she died of cot death. So it doesn't have to take much to set someone over the edge.
