Heather Mack, an American woman, has been sentenced to 26-28 years in federal prison for conspiring to kill her mother during a luxury vacation in Bali nearly 10 years ago. She helped her boyfriend kill her mother and stuff her body in a suitcase. Mack, 28, made an emotional plea before the sentencing. The case, known as the 'suitcase' murder, has sparked a sensational legal saga. The federal judge in Chicago handed down the sentence, which is less than the potential firing squad she could have faced in Bali. The sentencing has concluded a decade-long wait for her family, and Mack will be eligible for release in her 40s.
