Bail Granted To Calgary Man Convicted Of Fatally Stabbing New Neighbour

The Canadian Press, 12 Feb, 2016 12:18 PM
    CALGARY — A Calgary man who was found guilty of stabbing his neighbour 37 times has been granted bail while he appeals his manslaughter conviction and sentence.
     
    Nicholas Rasberry, 32, was sentenced to seven years minus time served for the May 2013 death of school teacher Craig Kelloway.
     
    Lawyers for Rasberry have 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.
     
    The killing happened the same night the two men and their wives met for the first time as new neighbours at a barbecue.
