Canada’s Supreme Court, the highest level of court in the entire country, has made the decision to uphold a first degree murder conviction for a murder back in 2015.
This decision was released yesterday and it was decided that an upgrade of Darren Sundman’s guilty conviction from second degree murder to first degree, which was done via a B.C. Court of Appeal ruling last year, will be upheld.
The conviction in question refers to the murder of 24-year-old Jordan McLeod, which happened near Prince George in January 2015, and Sundman was initially found guilty of the murder in 2018.
With the conviction being upgraded to first degree murder, Sundman will have to spend at least 25 years in prison before he is eligible for parole.
There were two other men convicted in this homicide case, but they were not apart of the high court appeal.
