SENTENCE APPEAL

Crown cites ‘unfit’ punishment in appeal of Edmonton killer’s sentences

Oct 4, 2019 | 8:52 AM

EDMONTON- The Crown is appealing the sentences imposed on a man found guilty of first-degree murder in the deaths of two Mac’s store clerks in Edmonton.

Colton Steinhauer was sentenced to concurrent life sentences on Sept. 6 with no chance of parole for 25 years for the December 2015 robberies and shootings that occurred at separate locations.

The prosecutor and jury had recommended he serve the terms consecutively.

In its grounds for appeal, the Crown says the sentence is demonstrably unfit.

A date for an appeal hearing has not been set.
