Nzherald story news announcing the sentence for a Kiwi accused of importing a couple of kilos of meth into Bali. Bali has some of the strictest anti drug laws in the world. The Kiwi sentenced today was facing the death penalty and execution by firing squad. A process where up to 10 soldiers or police are only given 3 live shells amongst them and the rest given blanks. This technique is employed to eliminate the psychological effects afterwards the shame, guilt, anxiety and other aftereffects after the execution. To deter the damage on the soldiers they only ever hand 2 or 3 live shells
Anthony the Kiwi sentenced today claims he was setup to "mule" it in to Bali where he was detained at the airport and since jailed. He claims he was carrying a luggage bag for a woman he met on the Internet. He had flown into South East Asia to be redirected to Bali and asked to carry the bag for this "lady" he still hadn't met face to face he met her through an online dating site.
To me this sounds as though this had to have a strong possibility to being true. These type of scams are more and more on the increase. Anthony is lucky he didn't get the death penalty but he is late middle aged and suffers ailing medical conditions a strong possibility he will die in jail.
