Amrozi to appeal death sentence
August 8th, 2003 at 1:12pm
Lawyers for the Bali bomber Amrozi say they will appeal the death sentence handed down to their client yesterday.
The court said Amrozi - who had confessed to involvement in the bombings - was legally responsible for an act of terrorism which claimed more than 200 lives.
The verdict and sentence were greeted by loud cheers in the courtroom, where many Australian survivors of the blast and relatives of victims had waited for the outcome.
The defiant Amrozi smiled when the court pronounced him guilty but was expressionless and shifted in his chair when the judge handed down the death sentence.
He clenched his fists, punched the air in triumph and smiled as police led him from the courtroom after the sentence was passed.
