Some more interesting developments. Looks like OS is coming with her. That will be good for Stella. How is she paying for all these attorneys?
“It is believed that when Mack reaches Chicago she will be taken into custody again, this time by federal authorities.
"We don't believe that the U.S. attorney's office has legal authority to arrest Heather in Chicago tomorrow for a crime that she was already prosecuted for, and convicted, and spent significant time in jail in Bali, Indonesia," said her American attorney Brian Claypool.
Claypool said Mack expected that she, her daughter, and her daughter's foster mother would be spending some time in Los Angeles, where he is based. What will happen now is unknown.
"The federal government is permitted to detain and interrogate Heather for up to 17 hours and then determine whether they're going to release her or serve her with an arrest warrant," he said. "Those are probably the top options that are on the table."
An emergency guardianship hearing was held in circuit court Tuesday afternoon to determine what will happen to Mack's daughter when she lands in Chicago. A judge granted a request for her to be placed with a person of the family's choosing until her mother's fate is clear.
If she is charged in the U.S., it may not be double jeopardy. A 2019 U.S. Supreme Court decision stating that an exception to double jeopardy is given when the case is brought by "separate sovereigns."
