Ontario Court of Appeal and Peer Mohammad Khairi

Peer Mohammad Khairi: Peer Mohammad Khairi, a father of six, had argued that the judge who presided over his trial made several errors, and asked the appeal court for a new trial, according to Metro News. He was turned down by Ontario Court of Appeal on both fronts and Ontario highest court upheld the second-degree murder conviction of an Afghan immigrant who nearly decapitated his wife, calling the woman death a horrific killing in a decision released Wednesday. If a fresh trial couldn t be ordered, Khairi had asked that his period of parole ineligibility currently set at 15 years after he was sentenced to life in prison be lowered to 10 or 11 years.
