Peer Mohammad Khairi and Ontario Court Appeal

parole ineligibility: 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, according to Toronto Star. He was turned down by Ontario Court of Appeal on both fronts. 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. The conviction appeal is dismissed. Khairi had admitted to killing his wife in March 2008, it was the circumstances of the death that had been in dispute at his trial, the court noted. While we grant leave to appeal the sentence, the sentence appeal is dismissed, the court decision said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
