According to this the Quebecoise Cocaine Cowgirls are due back in Court on October 26 which is next Wednesday:
I am all in favor of punishing murderers with life or long prison sentences but I don't think the death penalty is an effective deterrent to murder. I think some murderers love the PR that comes with being a death row prisoner who gets to make endless appeals of his sentence. Better a murderer should be locked away and forgotten.
May as well say the same for drunk drivers who kill someone.
The article doesn't say if the girls and Tamine have counsel and I am curious to know if they have public defenders like most indigent drug defendants or higher priced private counsel funded by a third party. If they have PDs the cartel has likely washed their hands of these mules.
But I would like to find out also if they had public defenders or high priced lawyers. That will tell us if the Godfather dropped them or not !
IIn this case, would that be a necessity?
...The stories just say bail was denied which is no surprise since they are all huge flight risks.
However there is nothing in this file, up now that suggest that there was any intel on the way to introduce the luggage ,everyone was caught off guardIt's called intelligence,
I also agree here,in this world you pay for good intelligence with eyes that know what to look for. They cannot rely on those 3 stunods to tell them what went wrong, if they did then Godfather is dumber than the 3 mules are.
other advantage is that then have access to evidence while paying the lawyers
Most criminal organization are directly connected with LE ,no need to have High priced lawyers for this .With a high priced lawyer comes well placed LE contacts who get the backchannel on what went down. Most really good criminal lawyers I know have PIs on retainer that are former cops that get all the intel they ever need cuz they still talk to their former colleagues.

I bet these 2 party girls thought they were going on a fun once in a lifetime vacation in exchange for taking a small amount of cocaine through customs - only to find out they were duped into a major smuggling operation. Check out this series "Banged Up Abroad" with 2 American party girls, who got caught trying to smuggle cocaine out of Peru. It's hard not to feel for these girls.

That is exactly what I think too. At some point near Australia they probably learned that the amount was much much larger, but what could they do?
I happen to agree as well. As I said earlier I believe these two girls, who by all accounts were classic Sugar Babies, met Tamine, a Cartel Stooge, on a Sugar Daddy website and were offered a prepaid cruise for Sugar Baby favors. They probably were told that part of the Sugar services would be to act as couriers for a small amount of contraband. At some point Tamine, whose real role was as the mechanic to transport the drugs, stashed their suitcases as they got near port. It was in some respects a set up. The fact is that young girls on Sugar Daddy websites can very easily be seduced with travel offers. Have any of you guys used the Miss Travel website? I will bet that is where Tamine or someone posing as Tamine from the Cartel found these girls. Everything I have read about Tamine's role in this operation suggests to me he is a relative of someone in the Cartel, a down on his luck dude who they thought could pull off the role of the dapper, sophisticated Sugar Daddy, while also having the capability to execute the transport of the drugs on the ground level. I believe Tamine was duped into thinking that if he got the drugs in the girls' suitcases, he would not be charged if something went wrong or at worst, he would have a very minor charge. I think there is a lot more on Tamine's role that we do not know. A good guess is that he had a much bigger role in and more knowledge of the criminality of the enterprise than the girls did.
Pictures indicate that the drugs filled the entire suitcase. How can anyone think they were duped by the quantity. Its not a few keys stuffed in the lining.
