From killing fields to court
In her darkest days in Cambodia, Kelly too was caught stealing. She was perhaps 15, although at the time the days and years had all begun to run together. Assigned to a forced labor camp by the Khmer Rouge, she was hungry all the time. One night, nearly crazy with hunger, she tiptoed to the camp's garden, squatted next to a vine and picked one cucumber. Immediately, though, she was caught. She was roped to a tree, her hands tied behind her back, and a plastic bag was placed over her head. Her life was spared, she says, by a young soldier who walked by and said, "Let her go."
