Mack, who already served 7 years in prison in Indonesia for her role in her mother's death, faces federal conspiracy and obstruction of justice charges.
Heather Mack, the Oak Park woman who is facing federal charges in the 2014 murder of her mother, after already serving 7 years in an Indonesian prison for her role in the killing, is asking a federal judge to release her from jail as she awaits trial. after serving seven years of a 10-year sentence for helping her boyfriend, Tommy Schaefer, kill her mother, Sheila von Wiese-Mack, in Bali in 2014, and stuffing her body in a suitcase.
In the motion, Mack's defense attorneys argue she is not a flight risk, saying she"has no means to travel" and has already forfeited her passport. They also argue, despite her Indonesian conviction for her mother's murder, she poses no danger to the community. Mack's defense team argued, if a judge believes there is any risk of flight or danger to the community, those concerns can be alleviated by either placing her on electronic monitoring, home confinement, or other pre-trial conditions.
The charges against Mack and Schaefer state, while in the United States, the couple"conspired with each other" to kill Mack's mother. It says,"on or about August 2, 2014, Mack boarded an airplane at O'Hare" and"arranged for Schaefer to travel from Chicago, Illinois to Bali, Indonesia."
