TEMPO.CO, Yogyakarta - Death row convict Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso, was stunned knowing that the Supreme Court denied her judicial review request. "She was shocked. She cried," said Zaenal Arifin, warden of the Wirogunan Penitentiary, Yogyakarta.
Mary Jane was informed by her family about the status of her review, as the prison refused to tell her in person. Although surprised, Zaenal said that Mary Jane has managed to calm herself. "She has rejoined her fellow inmates in daily activity," said Zaenal.
Mary Jane, 30, was arrested by Adisucipto Airport Customs on April 2010 for possessing 2.6 kilograms of heroin, which caused the court to sentence her to death. Earlier this month, Mary Jane filed a judicial review, after filing for a pardon months before.
