Death penalty case: Sydney man Peter Gardner to face Guangzhou court over drug charges

HOURS before the Bali Nine duo were shot dead, another young Australian man came a step closer to facing execution overseas.

Sydney man Peter Gardner, 25, has had his death penalty case in a Chinese courtroom brought forward by almost six months and will go on trial in the southern metropolis of Guangzhou next Thursday, May 7, for allegedly attempting to export 30kg of methamphetamine, or ice.

Gardner’s lawyer, New Zealand barrister Craig Tuck, said the reasons for the fast-tracked trial were unknown.
Gardner was with Australian woman Kalynda Davis — whom he met weeks earlier through an online dating site — when they were detained by customs officials in Guangzhou on November 8 after a three-day visit. Two bags being checked in by the couple were allegedly found to have 60kg of ice inside with their zips glued shut.

In a development that stunned China watchers, Davis was released after four weeks of negotiations between her China based lawyers and Chinese authorities with her long blonde hair roughly cropped after her lawyers argued she had no knowledge of the cargo.

“I knew she was so innocent. I prayed every night that the truth would come out, I prayed for the authorities, that it was dealt with in the way that it was dealt with, and our prayers were answered,” her father Larry David said upon her release.

It is understood that Gardner’s case was passed from the police to prosecutors several months ago but his lawyer said earlier this month that he did not expect the case to go to trial for six months. However on Tuesday night he said the trial date had moved to May 7.
