Escaped Death
Samantha Orobator, a 20-year-old pregnant, British woman escaped the death penalty because she is pregnant, according to a Laotian government spokesman. Orobator is accused of carrying more than a pound of heroin. Normally, anyone found in Laos with more than 500g of heroin faces the death penalty by firing squad.
