Canadian national Robert Lloyd Schellenberg, was convicted of trying to smuggle about 222kg of methamphetamine from China to Australia. He had been initially sentenced, two months ago, to 15 years in jail. He appealed the sentence at the Liaoning High Peoples Court, which concluded that the initial sentence was too light. A retrial in a lower court has (now) put him on death row.

no sh*t. who’s that guy’s lawyer. dude sucks.
Who cares? China has been shooting drug smugglers when they catch them for a while.
The obvious riposte is for Canada to expedite the extradition of Huawei’s Meng Wanzhou to the US, where she can spend the next few years preparing for trial while being held in a maximum security prison without bail. While we can’t execute her for purely economic crimes, we could give her a life sentence in a Supermax facility, where she can contemplate the meaning of life or learn conversational Swahili.
If he smuggled this stuff he deserves death!
Meth is very cheap in China, apparently, But very expensive in Australia. Conservatively this guy was moving 55 million dollars in meth.

He called their decision arbitrary, eh? The ChiComs must really be rattled now.
It is a common knowledge that hard drugs bring one to a gallow in East Asia. The guy had drug-related criminal records already. Let him swing.
So is abortion, but Justin drinks from that chalice.
Let him die.
Wow! Let him FRY BIG TIME!
Robert Lloyd must be the dumbest human being on the planet.
Found with mucho drugs in CHINA.
Why doesn’t he go to a Dem convention and mention the word “GOd?” Suicidal....
If anyone understands arbitrary, its Justin.
I would prefer he be Justout rather than Justin.
“I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.”
China would be wise to avoid advice from Canada and USA about drugs. Our tolerance has allowed drugs to ravage our countries. A couple of generations, at least, are addicted to drugs and looks to be getting worse every day.
They don’t mess around.
While I don't have any faith in the Chinese justice system... 222 kg of methamphetamine?! Wow. When in foreign countries one must be aware of the local laws.
Ahahahahahahahahahaha.
They didn't see THAT coming, I bet.

If the Chinese really want to mess with this guy’s mind, they can offer to bring in a 3rd party arbitrator of significant stature, well known to both the Aussies and the Chinese gov’t.
Then tell Schellenberg a few days later:
The arbitrator is Rodrigo Duterte.
DAMN! Justine getting hard core! Must have shaved with a lady Jillette today!
