Heather Mack Sentenced for Mother's Murder in Bali Suitcase Case

Heather Mack, who pleaded guilty to conspiring to kill her mother during a luxury vacation in Bali, is facing a recommended 28-year prison sentence from federal prosecutors, with her uncle urging the judge to impose the maximum sentence. Mack, who served seven years of her 10-year Indonesian sentence, was deported to the U.S. in 2021 and is now awaiting sentencing in Chicago. Her lawyers are seeking a 15-year prison term with credit for time served, while the plea agreement calls for a maximum of 28 years and for two other charges to be dropped.
