WA mum may be free from Bali jail
A Port Hedland mum who served eight months in an Indonesian jail on drugs charges is expected to walk free today.
Julie Ann Joseph, 32, was taken into custody on Lombok in October last year after she was found with 1.73g of crystal meth in her handbag.
Indonesian prosecutors had pushed for a four-year jail term, but the mother of two received an eight month sentence with credit for time already served after she apologised for her actions and begged the court to be spared a lengthy jail term for the sake of her children.
She first came to police attention after a motorbike crash, with her trial hearing she accepted the drugs from a man in the tourist area of Senggigi.
