Beijing: A former Australian jockey will appear in a Chinese court on Thursday to hear if he will receive the death penalty, after being charged with attempting to smuggle a commercial quantity of crystal methamphetamine to Australia. Anthony Roger Bannister, 43, was stopped from boarding a China Southern flight to Sydney on March 11 last year after customs officers detected the drugs, also known as ice, stuffed in eight ladies' handbags packed in his luggage.
