A Bali firing squad awaits 55-year-old Lindsay Sandiford after the British housewife attempted to smuggle $2.6 million worth of coke into Indonesia. 10.4 pounds were found in the lining of her suitcase after Sandiford was busted in an airport en route to the sale.

Unfortunately for Sandiford, Indonesia is harder on smugglers than most countries. A number of drug dealers have faced the death penalty, many of them foreigners. Still, Sandiford cooperated with authorities and helped track down the men she was due to meet.
