Cassie Sainsbury Can't Unlock Her Phone Which Allegedly Contains Evidence of Her Innocence

The 22-year-old alleges that her phone contains evidence of her innocence.

Adelaide woman Cassie Sainsbury, who was arrested for attempting to smuggle 5.8 kilograms of cocaine out of Colombia earlier this year, has explained that her phone contains evidence that a Colombian man was threatening to hurt her family.

She told 60 Minutes that she thought she had accepted a legitimate job as a courier until a Colombian man, known only as 'Angelo', began threatening to kill her mother, sister and fiancé if she did not go through with the transportation of the cocaine.

'Angelo' sent photos of her family through WhatsApp, which is how she knew he was serious. The only problem now is she just can't quite remember the pattern to unlock her smartphone. I guess we've all kinda been there.

"It's very true. I haven't used it for nearly six months, I'm not going to remember a pattern," she told 60 Minutes.

While we don't know for sure which phone she has, let's just assume it's an Android because of the pattern lock. If that's the case, then she could just enter in her Google account details and bazinga! You've got your key evidence.

If Sainsbury is found guilty, she could face up to 30 years in jail, after her plea deal was thrown out by the judge in July.

Foreign Minister, Julie Bishop, told Seven News last month that she is working with Sainsbury to provide assistance.

"It is a strong message to all Australians travelling overseas," Bishop told the Seven Network. "You have to abide by the laws of the country you are visiting."

If Sainsbury is innocent, let's hope she can unlock that phone ASAP.
