Reported follow-up

Donna Nelson to use romance scam expert to appeal Japan drug conviction

This record is linked back to earlier reporting.

Shared wording

Donna Nelson to use romance scam expert to appeal Japan drug conviction

Explicit DonnaNelson/Perth/Japan drug conviction and appeal context, with previously actually read originalABC source, support named case family. New source plans expert evidence; later own source reports lost appeal. No expert admitted/caused result, innocence finding or chronological inference from observation date. ShawnaNelsonCalgary and other coerced-worker accounts differ.
