The Associated Press: Thai woman, Philippine man convicted in Cambodia: "Police arrested Chon Thong Theerat in June 2009 upon arrival from Malaysia at the Phnom Penh airport, where she walked through an X-ray security machine that showed she had swallowed a dozen condoms containing 400 grams of cocaine, said judge You Bunna.
She led police to 36-year-old Luyo Romeo Plaza, who was waiting for the woman to deliver the drugs to a hotel, police said. The woman had traveled from Argentina and after stopping in Cambodia was headed to Thailand.
The pair were held in pretrial detention, where the 29-year-old woman gave birth to her son. It was not clear if Plaza was the child's father.
The court ordered each to serve 30-year prison terms and pay fines of $12,000. The woman's defense lawyer said he would appeal the verdict"
