MSM is picking it up now .... wonder if it will be another hour before we hear HM's verdict?


An Indonesian court has convicted an American man of murdering his girlfriend's mother and sentenced him to 18 years in jail.

The Denpasar District Court ruled Tuesday that Tommy Schaefer, 21, was guilty of battering Sheila von Wiese-Mack to death in a hotel room on the resort island of Bali.

Boyfriend of body in suitcase teen Heather Mack is handed maximum 18-year sentence for ‘sadistic’ murder of her mother – as she awaits to hear her fate

Watch, she'll get the 15. Dismayed...I was hoping for more then the recommended for both.
 
incredible .. they execute people for drugs but 18 yrs for beating an old lady to death and trying to carry her off in a suitcase .. judges must've been paid off .. this makes no sense
 
Tommy got an 18 yr. sentence as was suggested. Hope this means Heather will get, at least, a 15 yr. sentence.

:gaah: At least that, please.

Still wonder how they avoided the firing squad. It was premeditated and they were both involved!
 
18 and 15 yrs .. they got nothing .. might as well have just let them go
 
I guess maybe I am not as disappointed because here he would probably get about the same ... maybe a tad more, around the 20 year mark. But then there is parole to consider.

Our courts and parole boards are often quite pathetic, and we don't even bribe them. :sigh:
 
What was she convicted of??? If he was found to have premeditated, shouldn't she as well?

Nothing yet ... as far as I know. I think they were going for premeditated for her too. But she was hiding in the bathroom and didn't do the deed. :rolleyes:


Yep .. hers is premeditated murder as well.

She is also accused of premeditated murder, and could be handed the death penalty as judges are not obliged to follow sentence recommendations.

She maintains her innocence, and her indictment says she hid in the bathroom during the killing.

Does he have another name for someone who beats an older woman to death and stuffs her in a suitcase? He's a murderer. That's the title he can go by for the rest of his life. BBM

"Schaefer was seen crying in court after presiding Judge Made Suweda announced the murder verdict and sentence in Denpasar District Court."

"Although I do take full responsibility for my actions, I am not a murderer," Scahefer told Reuters after hearing the verdict."

10 Years!!
Justice has not been done!!
What happened to the recommended 15 years?
Money talks in Bali - for sure.

My condolences to SvWM's family for this utter slap in the face amount of sentencing that HM got.

No wonder HM was smiling on her way to court today.
She sets her boyfriend up to kill her mother - and I have no doubt she was part of the murder in the Hotel room as well - as she gets 10 years.
Absolutely disgusted.
 
Body in suitcase teen gets TEN years for ‘sadistic’ murder of her mother as boyfriend is handed maximum 18 behind bars in Bali

Body in a suitcase teen Heather Mack has been sentenced to 10 years for the 'sadistic' murder of her mother in a case dubbed the 'body in the suitcase' killing.

Her sentence came just minutes after her boyfriend Tommy Schaefer, 21, was jailed for 18 years at a court in Denpasar, Bali today.

Mack, 19, was found guilty of helping her Schaefer stuff the body of her mother into a suitcase.

Oh no, only ten years? Heather was the one who literally was searching for someone, a hitman, to kill her mother. She set this up. She was right there. She sat on the suitcase.

Breathe deeply, inhale, exhale...primal scream...get yourself under control.

I'm going to go punch some pillows. Be back in the morning. Thanks everyone here.
