I wish he was in Kerobokan now. I bet some of those other death-row inmates would be telling him ... it's not worth it Tommy, tell them the truth, tell them what you know, don't take the fall for her, the baby will be fine and in a good home somewhere. He needs some serious long-term Kerobokan inmates to help give him some focus and direction imo.
Actually, for all we know, he isn't taking the fall for her. His camp is completely quiet, so we really don't have a clue what his story is. Considering how much of HM's story was leaked by the police chief (? Utomo), it seems strange that we've heard absolutely nothing from his side from anyone.
I wish we knew more about Bali law. In the US, especially depending on jurisdiction, it might be worth it for HM to try to play a terrified victim who didn't actually do anything except keep her mouth shut. In other jurisdictions, she'd be just as guilty as TS because she 'aided and abetted'. She might get a somewhat shorter sentence, but she'd still go down.
I don't think US law was always like that. I think once upon a time it might have been that the only person who could actually be convicted of murder was the person who pulled the trigger - not, for example, the getaway driver or someone who helped dispose of the body.
It may be that even if HM sticks to her story of not actually being involved in the 'beating' of her mother, of being the helpless pregnant girl terrified of a boyfriend allegedly gone nuts, she'll still be found guilty of murder under Indonesian law.
Personally, I'm inclined to think HM killed her mother and TS got in on the cleanup. If she picked up a heavy glass object like the vase or ashtray and hit her mother directly in the face, the shock and pain of a badly broken nose would have been all it took. I think TS realized, perhaps better than HM, that they were in a very bad situation. I think he expected her to have a better handle on how things work overseas because she'd traveled before, stayed in posh places.
