I may be reaching.....but I wonder if they planned this murder to happen the way it did because they knew they'd get a light sentence if they were busted. Like did they research Bali law to see what the maximum punishment would be for murder?

I really thought these types of countries had a no-nonsense approach to criminals.

So what will happen once they have served their sentences? Can they go back to the US?

I was wondering about that too.

I read somewhere else that she had to get her mother's estate to release a certain amount of money to pay for her lawyers, jail fees and she is allowed a phone in there. How are they two of them seeing each other in jail like that? with the baby? I think she thought she would get off easier in another country. OR her mother's millions would get her off.

Either authorities in Bali don't want negative publicity about their prison and/or judicial system or the two brats via their parents' wealth are able to bribe officials or pay for better prison conditions. I remember the police getting them McDonald's when they were first detained. I hope their child doesn't pick up her parents' horrible attitudes. We don't need anymore people like them in the world

I think its horrible that the dead mother's estate had to pay for the murderous daughters legal defense.

I don't think Tommy Schaefer's mom should get custody of baby Stella because she did such a great job in raising her son.:look: BTW, doesn't Mrs. Schaefer look just like Samuel L. Jackson.

I am inclined to believe the Daily Mail mixed up the captions (probably intentionally).

I hope the Australian couple gives her the baby back in 10 years (or maybe not). That would be another court case.

I hope they raise her right.

Wow. Nothing these people do surprises me, it seems they are capable of every sick thing imaginable to man.

Murderers. Psychopaths.

No, they got it right. The bald black woman is the boy's mother:

UPDATE***

Another arrest and it is the cousin of Tommy Schaefer, he helped with the murder by giving advice on how to kill her. They got all this from text message between him and his cousin. They are sociopaths. They won't release all what they said but they are cold bloodied.

Read the story here: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...urder-federal-charges-met-20150923-story.html

Wow. If I wanted someone dead I would not know who to call about it. He's effed up and must come from and effed up family.

So they were both sentenced already? Why did they get so little time? How come no one from the girl's family adopted the child. I have an idea why, but I'm just throwing it out there.

I think she wanted to keep the baby as long as possible for selfish reasons - she'd get better treatment etc. Now she wants to control whoever has the baby so that she can in turn control the money.

These are two very, very greedy young people.

I know the girl's father is deceased but what's the story with the boy's father?

It's so funny to read earlier comments in this thread talking about how these kids are going to be stoned, have to stand in front of the firing range, etc and they're probably living better in that Indonesian prison than some FREE people living in their own hometown of Chicago. Like nysister said, I think both of them are sociopaths and likely to be VERY persuasive - I'm sure they've got inmates and prison personnel alike wrapped around their fingers.

This girl is living life in Bali..wow!!! No remorse what so ever.

An acquaintance of mine had a big falling out with her man recently...and then he asked her to go to Ghana as a family trip to rekindle. I told her do not go...you may never come back!!!

Poor lady...her daughter is evil.
Growing up, this happened to a family friend... neither the Mother-In-Law, Sisters-In-Law or Aunts liked her..no-one really knows what really happened, except that after a month,she came back in a black box...

CAN SOMEBODY TAKE HER BABY AWAY!

She's a sick and twisted individual and no child should have to grow up with her! Behind bars!?

Maybe she truly believes that her mother killed her father, maybe it's even true. I don't doubt that she has suffered from a lot of abuse to have her brain so thoroughly rewired from a normal state. But she is a dangerous and callous person, who lies in almost every sentence. Scary.

Trust me, this will not be her last murder.

Tommy is doing the right thing, trying to lay low until he's released.

I can't believe Tommy got 18 years and Heather only 10.

This is really strange:
This week is the lowest in the pair's time in Bali as Stella is being taken away from them and will be living with an Australian couple, who only knew Mack after they started visiting her during the trial.

And Tommy didn't have any say in this...that's so odd. I'm sure the Australian couple is doing it for the money.

Why can't she live with Tommy's parents?

ETA: apparently Tommy's mother has petitioned to raise the little girl.

His mother really looks masculine. I know this isn't relevant to this thread, but still...

This girl will soon get out I less than 8 years with her daughter and millions of dollars. All the while her poor dumb ex won't ever get to be an actual father to that baby. I hope his family sues her now that she said she was the one that killed her mother. She probably used her pregnancy to get a lighter sentence. Why hasn't anyone adopted the daughter yet? She does not need to be around that sociopath. That kid could very well turn into one too if they watch it. :nono:

I really thought she was Randy Jackson.
