Lindsay June Sandiford (born 25 June 1956) is a former legal secretary from Redcar Teesside in North Yorkshire England who was sentenced to death in January 2013 by a court in Indonesia after being convicted of smuggling cocaine onto the island of Bali. Although death is the maximum punishment for drugs-related offences under Indonesian law the severity of the sentence was greeted with shock because prosecutors had not recommended the death penalty for Sandiford.
