Australian grandmother Donna Nelson is on trial in Japan, accused of smuggling 2 kilograms of amphetamines into the country. Nelson claims she was tricked into carrying the drugs as part of an online romance scam, receiving the suitcase from an acquaintance of a man she met online and bringing it from Laos to Tokyo. Despite prosecutors arguing that she knew the suitcase's contents, Nelson maintains her innocence, and her lawyer argues she is a victim of a scam. The verdict is due in December.
