Apparently he must like the pleasant ambiance and culinary delights of Hotel Kerobokan - which is evidently where he met Schapelle, according to the article.
How the heck do they meet potential mates of the opposite sex while in prison/jail?
Low-key relationship may save Schapelle from losing parole after boyfriend allegedly busted with drugs

Thanks for sharing this. He's handsome, and she's lovely. I am always shocked at the strict laws there, and the prison time, especially for this particular drug. Why did he risk his freedom there again!
I didn't know Schapelle had to stay there to serve out her parole. She can't go home or leave the country?
Why are they, the arrested, all wearing masks in the picture? Oh, there's a video too.
My questions too. Is pot worth 12 years? And why the terrorist ski masks?
I have gone through every single thing of Tommy's that I can find. His relationship with his exgf was very serious. They dated off and on since grade school. They were very big parts of each other's lives. It definitely wasn't Tommy taking advantage of her death for media exposure as some have suggested. He really does seem deeply affected by her death according to his online comments and such. She was a humanitarian and college student. He did drop out of college to pursue a music career. Some people question that but I know people that have done this - one of my friends did this same thing but not for music but instead for television. He followed his dreams instead of his parents dreams and have produced some long running tv series, still going strong. That's the same thing John Mayer did and look how he turned out. Tommy smoked weed. To that I say big deal, 90% of kids have done that. He might not have had alot of money growing up, but he had a mom that worked her butt off. Theres absolutely nothing that I've come across that even suggests Tommy wasn't parented right except for people running their mouths that didn't really know him. Reviewing his social media shows nothing really horrible until he met Heather.
Is it possible that Tommy wasn't even in the room with Sheila and Heather but helped Heather out of panic bc he'd already lost the love of his life, plus grew up without a father and didn't want his baby to grow up without a dad - if that's even his baby? I'm not sure I buy into what Bali police said about sex after the murder. Idk, when would they have found the time? Maybe Bali police discovered a couple naked people when they arrested them sleeping but maybe they weren't wearing clothes bc the clothes they fled in were the only ones they had so they shed them for sleep so Bali PD assumed they'd had sex? Maybe Tommy didn't want to lose another person...or maybe he just wanted to get back to the US where he could explain himself to someone he could trust? He isn't some spoiled rich kid that doesn't know how to act. What he did in helping to cover up Sheila's death was wrong, but if he wasn't involved in her death then does he deserve death himself? I'm thinking Heather got into a row with her mom as usual, maybe threw the lamp or that ornamental piece that was described as an ashtray, and Sheila died - accidentally...but it would be considered murder bc of the history of fighting. You have to "think" before you pick up a substantial object and throw it at somebody's head, which again suggests murder - but maybe it was a heat of the moment fight. So I'm kind of wondering now if this is a case of a boy that followed the crowd and became lost in it. Kwim? Is it at all possible?
I agree with everything you said except for him expecting for someone else to pay for his flight & room. If somebody offers prior to leaving to take you on vacay with them by paying for your flight & room, then surely you'd expect not to have to foot that bill for said flight & room. Its absolutely obvious he didn't have the money to go to Bali so of course this trip would have had to of been offered to him. Therefore, to be put on the spot at the last moment once there is unfair and should be illegal if its not written as such. I agree that he is culpable of helping hide and clean up evidence, but I'm not of the opinion that he should be killed without proof that he's the one that did the killing of Sheila when so much more points to the culprit being Heather. The difference between Tommy & Heather is that Tommy showed promise but Heather didn't. Heather and her mother lived in a very vicious cycle. Tommy didn't. I automatically judged by media reports as well in the beginning. Then I dug into stuff. So now I'm of a different stance, not completely different but rather just a different facet.
Hmm. I thought I saw everything from his social media. I guess I missed something. I didn;t see anything indicating he was in a years-long relationship with her. I mean, she was still on his background page for FB when he was already dating HM. To me it seemed he believed he had more of a relationship with her than he actually had. I don't know.
But regardless, there is enough about ol' Tommy boy that I just don;t think is mitigated by whatever good there might be (which I didn't really see).
1. He got arrested after he and HM unlawfully used SM's credit card on a hotel/party spree, because he got in the cops' faces and acted like a tough guy
when they showed up.
2. He has past arrests for assault and other crimes.
3. He was seen arguing with SM in the hotel when he arrived.
4. His fingerprints are on the murder weapon.
5. He is on video taking the suitcase away, and trying to flee the hotel after the killing.
6. He has never recanted the bogus gang story.
7. For weeks, he has sat in an Indonesian jail and has refused to talk nor has he implicated HM in any way.
8. He was a male escort.
9. He boasted to someone about coming back from Bali with money.
I agree with you in most points, except the bolded part. Sheila seems didn't even know Tommy was going to show up, the payment was on Heather (who apparently paid for his ticket following what we know of the argument) or him, not on Sheila. Nothing unfair about not having to cover for your crazy daughter's lover. Nothing against Tommy (thank you for the sleuthing of him, gives me a new perspective on him).
If if if if Tommy was there at the moment of the attack, he had the physical force to stop it and didn't do so, then he is as guilty as Heather of murder one.
If he showed up when Sheila was dead and didn't report/helped break her poor body and put in suitcase/ drag down with luggage, etc = guilty as sin.
In either case he is not an innocent bystander. A decent guy would not cover something like this up and then escape a-la Natural Born Killers- no way Jose.
Being able to stop a murder but not doing so does not make one guilty of murder under any law. But I agree, no decent guy would act that way.
Hey, man, I look totally different out for a night on the town and when I just wake up too! But I;m not evil!!!! I promise!!
