Court tosses appeals of first- and second-degree murder in 2009 killings
VANCOUVER — Convicted murderer Roy Fraser has lost an appeal of his first- and second-degree murder convictions for two slayings near Kamloops, B.C.
In a unanimous decision, the B.C. Court of Appeal has rejected Fraser’s arguments that the trial judge made several legal errors.
The appeal court ruling upholds the original charge to the jury, finding no grounds for a defence submission that the trial judge should have ordered acquittal on the first-degree murder charge.
