Sara Connor, ‘stressed’ and ‘confused’ after jail sentence in Bali, faces key decision

Australian woman Sara Connor, jailed in Bali, must decide whether to appeal a four-year sentence over the death of a police officer.

The Byron Bay woman, sentenced to four years’ jail by a Bali court on Monday, has a week to decide whether she will appeal in Bali’s High Court or accept the ruling from the panel of three judges.

If the 46-year-old does appeal to have the conviction overturned, she runs the risk of having the sentence increased.

She has already served seven months of the sentence and Indonesia’s justice system is well known for granting remissions on major religious and national holidays.

The Australian and her British boyfriend, David Taylor, were found guilty of group assault causing death in the Denpasar District Court.

Taylor, 34, was sentenced to six years behind bars. He will not appeal.
