Federal prosecutors want a U.S. judge to give Heather Mack a 28-year prison sentence on top of the seven years she spent locked up overseas, potentially keeping her behind bars until her late 40s for her role in her mother’s brutal 2014 murder in Bali.
That request — formally made in a 47-page court filing Wednesday — has been expected ever since Mack pleaded guilty in June to conspiring to kill a U.S. national. Mack is set to be sentenced Jan. 17 by U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly.
