A Chicago-area woman imprisoned in Indonesia for killing her mother has retracted statements made in YouTube videos that her boyfriend, also convicted in the same case, was innocent.

A statement released by Heather Mack and her lawyer Yulius Benyamin Seran on Wednesday said the assertions in the videos were false and recorded under pressure. The statement said Mack, 21, was reading words written by her boyfriend Tommy Schaefer, formerly of Oak Park.

In a series of three videos posted last week, Mack, who grew up in Oak Park but most recently lived in Chicago, says Schaefer was trying to protect her when he confessed to striking her 62-year-old mother, Sheila von Weise-Mack, in the head with a metal fruit bowl.

Mack's statement said the video was uploaded to YouTube by someone who deliberately created an account in her name.

Well, I for one believe this poor inncent young thing and her constant sniffing to clear her coked up nose didn't change a thing.
