Douglas Garland appeals triple murder conviction
EDMONTON — Convicted murderer Douglas Garland has filed an appeal of his first-degree murder convictions and sentence.
According to Global News, the defence filed the appeal moments before the Alberta Court of Appeal closed on Friday.
Garland was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 75 years after a jury convicted him of three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Nathan O’Brien and his grandparents Alvin and Kathy Liknes in 2014.
The jury determined Garland kidnapped O’Brien and his grandparents, killed them on his property, dismembered them and burned their bodies.
