She said she was told the bag contained hair attachments and because she trusted her husband, she did not suspect anything wrong. She said she opened the bag and saw hairpieces, the kind used to make braids, so she believed it was safe.
However, Peace said when she arrived at the airport in Malaysia, authorities searched the bag and discovered hard dru gs hidden inside. She said she was arrested immediately and later sentenced to dea th. She said that sentence was eventually reduced to life imprisonment.
Peace said she spent 12 years in prison before being found innocent and finally released.
