I have an open mind on the matter but the weakness here as I see it is the fact that during the passing of the sentence the judge stated he was going to show no mercy because she had shown no remorse so nothing of mitigation was taken into account.

I have a fundamental issue with those remarks...this trial has obviously been aired many times on UK tv and this woman has often been filmed in a distressed state and unable to look at her captors in the eye. Her lawyer also pleaded on her behalf that her children or child had been threatened unless she was compliant in carrying out her act.

Something doesn't quite add up here and whilst I have no sympathy for those who supply and sell drugs, I honestly think at the very least she will receive a prison sentence via presidential intervention.
