Bali Nine member files final appeal

Bali Nine member files final appeal: "Bali Nine drug mule Martin Stephens has lodged a final appeal against his life sentence with the help of an Australian Federal Police letter that describes him as a 'minor' player in the heroin smuggling plot.
Lawyers for the 33-year-old Wollongong man lodged their request for a so-called judicial review with the Denpasar District Court late last week.
Stephens was arrested at Bali airport on April 17, 2005 - five years ago this Saturday - with 2.9kg of heroin strapped to his legs and stomach.
He was sentenced to life in prison in 2006, a sentence later upheld by a higher court and Indonesia's Supreme Court.
But in their new appeal Stephens' lawyers argue his life sentence should be reduced to the 'lightest punishment possible'.
The appeal cites new evidence in the form of a letter from former AFP Commissioner Mick Keelty."
