Sara Connor faces anxious wait for Bali appeal

Australian mother-of-two Sara Connor is waiting anxiously to hear whether her four-year sentence for the fatal assault of a Bali police officer will be increased on appeal.

Two months after Connor's friends and family described being "devastated" by the decision to jail the 46-year-old Byron Bay woman, three High Court judges are set to hand down their judgment in Denpasar tomorrow as to whether the sentence was even sufficient.

Connor is not expected to attend the hearing and is understood not to be legally represented.

The four-year term Connor is serving is half of what prosecutors had demanded.

They argued that she should be serving the same jail time as her British boyfriend and co-offender David Taylor, who was sentenced to six years over the fatal assault in company of Bali police officer Wayan Sudarsa.

Mr Sudarsa's bloodied body was discovered on Kuta Beach in the early hours of August 17 last year, having suffered dozens of wounds.

The spokesman for Bali's High Court, Made Sujana, said prosecutors would be informed of the appeal decision and would notify Connor in Kerobokan prison.

Despite repeatedly maintaining her innocence, Connor's then lawyer Robert Khuana said in March that she would not appeal her sentence.

She had been traumatised by the court process and was worried about the term being increased if she did appeal, he added.

Connor wrote to the court in April urging them not to increase the sentence, saying: "This is the most bitter experience and the last one (of its kind) in my life".

Taylor became embroiled in a fight with Mr Sudarsa after confronting him over Connor's lost purse on Kuta Beach, which contained about $A300.

While Connor maintains she did nothing but try to separate Mr Sudarsa and Taylor during the melee, Chief Judge Made Pasek found she effectively pinned him down.

The pair later destroyed personal items belonging to Mr Sudarsa and burned the clothes they were wearing on the night of the assault.

The sentence handed down in March included the seven months Connor had already spent in prison, with further reductions possible for good behaviour.

Depending on tomorrow's decision, Connor or prosecutors may choose to launch a further appeal to the Supreme Court.
