Heather Mack faces a dramatic sentencing hearing later this year after she finally pleaded guilty Friday in a federal courtroom to plotting the 2014 killing of her mother during an exotic vacation to Bali when she was a teenager.
Mack, now 27, struck a deal with federal prosecutors that would cap her prison sentence at 28 years. But key questions remain. Among them is whether U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly will credit Mack with the seven years she spent imprisoned in Indonesia.
