Drug smugglin' Brit grandma sentenced to death by firing squad for smuggling $2.5 million of cocaine onto the Indonesian island of Bali.
Lindsay June Sandiford, 56, wept openly when she was handed down the devastating sentence despite prosecutors only recommending a 15-year prison sentence.
The granny, from Gloucestershire, England, was arrested at the vacation island’s airport last May after 10.6 pounds of cocaine was found in the lining of her suitcase during a routine customs check — however she maintains that she was forced to take the drugs into the country by a gang threatening to hurt her children.
