Kiwi suspected drug trafficker pleads mental illness in Bali
Vaguely remember this from when he got busted in December. Hard to know if he was set up or not, but frankly, when someone you've never met offers you a free plane ticket...

http://home.nzcity.co.nz/news/article.a ... in%2CnartsA New Zealand man's intellectual impairment and mental illness made him particularly vulnerable to manipulation by a drug syndicate that preyed on lonely hearts, a psychiatrist told a court in Bali last night.
Antony de Malmanche could face the death penalty for trafficking 1.7kg of methamphetamine onto the Indonesian island in December.
He says he travelled there believing he would meet his online love, "Jessy," and had no idea the drugs were in his backpack.
The logs, downloaded from Google servers by experts for the defence, show how Jessy lavished affirmation on the lonely Kiwi.
She offers to pay for him to meet her in China - his first overseas trip - because "I like to share all I have with my man".
"I will ask my personal assistant to send you some funds via Western Union money transfer for you to go apply for a passport," she writes.
The invalid pensioner says he's embarrassed to allow a woman to pay, but it makes a nice change from others he'd met online, who had asked him for money.

I blame "Jessy."
