Sheepway says his conviction was unreasonable, his sentence unfit and he wants a new trial
Confessed killer Darryl Sheepway says his murder conviction earlier this year was unreasonable, his sentence was unfit, and that he wants a new trial.
He filed a notice of appeal earlier this month.
Sheepway was convicted in January of second-degree murder in the 2015 death of Christopher Brisson, in Whitehorse. During trial Sheepway said he shot and killed Brisson, who sold him crack cocaine, during a botched robbery.
Earlier this month, Sheepway was given a life sentence without eligibility for parole for 13 years.
If granted a new trial, Sheepway is asking for a jury. His trial last year was before a judge alone.
