56 Year Old Smuggler By: Taylor Marsh

        Lindsay June Sandiford, a 56 year old British drug smuggler, was caught trying to smuggle cocaine in her suitcase. She is being sent to death in Indonesia. At first they were only going to give her a 15 year sentence but since she showed no remorse for her actions, she was given the death penalty.

       I think its awful she is being sent to death but she had no remorse, so she forced it upon herself. I dont agree wit her being killed but i do think she should be punished. Shes a 56 year old. You would think she should know better.

  1. I totally agree she should be punished for what she did but the death penalty seems way to harsh for her.

  2. I completely agree that she needs to learn her lesson with a punishment, but i also think that death is a little too far..

  3. From 15 years to life? What an extreme punishment. I guess if Indonesia has strict laws over the smuggling of drugs.

  4. This seems reallu unfair. Yes, what she did was not acceptable, but death? I think jail would've been sufficient.
