Alberta man convicted in deaths of Métis hunters has appeal dismissed by Supreme Court

Bilodeau was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of Maurice Cardinal, and of manslaughter in the death of Cardinal's nephew, Jacob Sansom.

Canada's top court has declined to hear the appeal of one of two men found guilty in the deaths of two Métis hunters who were shot and killed in northeastern Alberta.

As is customary, the Supreme Court did not give reasons for its dismissal of Anthony Bilodeau's leave to appeal. The decision to dismiss was issued Thursday.

Bilodeau was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of Maurice Cardinal, and of manslaughter in the death of Cardinal's nephew, Jacob Sansom.

He was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 13 years.
