People get 20 years for marijuana smuggling in Indonesia, yet this woman gets out in only 7, and her boyfriend 18 years or less for cold blooded murder?

I guess in Indonesia lives are cheap, sadly.

Their ‘texting’ co-conspirator & cousin of b/f Tommy Schaefer is serving 9 years in the U.S. since 2016:

- “In 2016, Robert Bibbs, a cousin of Schaefer, pleaded guilty to helping to plan the killing in exchange for $50,000 that Mack was expected to inherit, and was sentenced the next year to nine years in prison.”

Spoiled, without remorse for her mother’s death and released due to ‘good behavior’ while in prison, her words to waiting reporters: - “Oh my God... you're insane!” -

Figtho! - 10 years is a usual sentence for murder almost everywhere.... and yeah, don't go smuggling no drugs nowhere in Asia - people get even longer than 20 years for that. It's that simple. A pack of marijuana ruins more than one life.

It's depend on each case, some murder case can lead to death sentence.

Gee, so if I want to kill my mother, then do it in Indonesia so I can get out after a few short years. Check.

Oh, I bet they weren't short years. I'm thinking they were probably really, really long.

A killer treated as a celebrity!?? Nothing about the poor victim who was killed and stuffed in a case like a bag of garbage, how sad and sick. I hope she serves another 20 in the U.S.
