Nearly nine years after the brutal murder of her mother in Indonesia, Heather Mack is set to potentially plead guilty this month to federal charges related to the August 2014 killing of Sheila von Wiese-Mack.
U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly set a June 15 change-of-plea hearing during a brief phone call with lawyers in Mack’s case Thursday. He did so after Assistant U.S. Attorney Ann Marie Ursini told him there had been “significant progress toward plea negotiations.”
