Calgary Man Convicted Of Fatally Stabbing Neighbour 37 Times Files Appeal

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 Dec, 2015 12:27 PM
    CALGARY — A Calgary man who was found guilty of stabbing his neighbour 37 times has filed an appeal of his manslaughter conviction and sentence.
     
    Nicholas Rasberry was sentenced on Friday to seven years minus time served for the May 2013 death of school teacher Craig Kelloway.   
     
    Lawyers for Rasberry cited eight grounds for appeal, including an "unreasonable verdict" and a "harsh and excessive sentence."
     
    The Crown had already filed an appeal seeking a conviction of second-degree murder or a new trial.
     
    Rasberry had argued that he stabbed Kelloway, who was originally from Glace Bay, N.S., to fend off an attempted sexual assault of him and his wife.
     
    Court heard three knives were used and a medical examiner testified that the attack was so violent that knife fragments were left in Kelloway's body.
