'Don't deprive my children of their mother': Sara Connor's tearful plea to Bali court

Australian woman Sara Connor has made an emotional address to a Bali court as she stares down the possibility of missing her two sons growing up.

A week after the "shock" of hearing the prosecution's request to have her jailed for eight years over the death of Bali police officer Wayan Sudarsa, Connor appeared emotional and deflated at Denpasar Court on Tuesday.

Expecting "the worst", Connor expressed fears of not being able to see her children grow up.

"They miss me and are waiting for me," she cried.

"If this is what God had planned for my life - to punish me harshly and deprive my children of their mother, I hope he will give my children strength to cope."

Just hours after arriving in Bali for a holiday, Connor went down to Kuta Beach with her British boyfriend David Taylor on the night of August 16.

A fight broke out between Mr Sudarsa and Taylor when the British man confronted the police officer about Connor's lost wallet.

Connor has always said she did nothing but try to separate the pair during the violent struggle and did not know the officer was seriously injured when she and Taylor left the beach in the early hours of August 17.

Despite Taylor corroborating this account, prosecutors have asked for he and Connor to serve the same eight-year term.

Connor, the prosecution said last week, had not been up-front during the trial, whereas Taylor had shown remorse.

While they agree neither should be charged with murder - as the alleged attack lacked intent - they argue the alternative charge of fatal assault in company should apply.

Connor's lawyer Erwin Siregar accused the prosecution as promoting an "illusion", adding his client did not cause the death of Mr Sudarsa and that no witness had said otherwise.

He described the sentence request by the prosecution as "very dangerous" and "reckless" and said instead that his client should be released on all charges and her good name restored.

Inspector Sudarsa's body was found on Kuta Beach.

Connor said she believed Taylor when he told her his fight with the cop was not serious.

"I let David burn the clothes (they wore on the night of Mr Sudarsa's death) because I was confused and in shock and I apologise for that."

"How different my life would be now if my bag was never stolen (on Kuta Beach) and the taxi driver had taken me to the police station that night," Connor added.

"I deeply regret and apologise for any mistake ... I humbly request the court to consider this," she added.

The prosecution is expected to respond on Thursday.
