Taken from here (thanks Liss):
UPDATE 2: (Background) A deal between the British and Lao governments has been struck that may allow Samantha Orobator to serve her sentence in the UK if she is convicted. "A spokeswoman for the legal charity Reprieve welcomed the agreement. 'It is great news but we are still concerned that it is enacted early enough for Samantha to come home while she is still fit to travel,' she said." Orobator has also finally been appointed a local attorney. It's still a huge clusterfuck, but there is some movement.
