An attorney for the Chicago woman facing federal conspiracy charges in the 2014 killing of her mother during a luxury vacation in Bali says she plans to plead guilty. The details of any plea agreement or penalties under discussion by Heather Mack and U.S. prosecutors remain unclear. Her attorney says Mack’s defense has negotiated with federal prosecutors ahead of a trial set for Aug. 1. Mack previously served seven years in prison in Indonesia in connection with her mother's death. Her then-boyfriend was convicted of the murder and is still in prison in Indonesia. Mack was deported in 2021 and immediately arrested in the U.S.
