Long shot for bombers does not help Bali Nine

Like 40 year old hookers who insist on heading out to the club, Amrozi, Ali Gufron and Imam Samudra, the Bali bombers, will launch another appeal at Indonesia’s Constitutional Court later this month. After murdering over 200 people, including fellow Muslims, then laughing about it, the 3 are planning to challenge their death sentences, claiming they have the right to life.

The twist in this case, is that the new strategy is the same one being used by 3 members of the Bali Nine drug gang, who also await death. Maybe this is clever positioning by the bomber’s legal team, as if the Bali Nine members catch a politically inspired ‘break’, so might their clients. For the Bali Nine members, its a nightmare as their fate seems tied to the most hated people in Indonesia / Australia.
