A convicted killer is set to appeal to the highest court in B.C over the decision that sent him to prison for life.
The B.C. Court of Appeal will on Friday hear the appeal of Joshua Berner, who was convicted of murdering 23-year-old Ben Warland in Richmond in 2009.
Warland was stabbed to death in the 11000 block of Cambie Road in February of that year after an exchange of words on a bus with two men, one of which was Berner.
Berner was eventually convicted of second-degree murder in December of 2010 and was then sentenced to life in prison. Justice Sandra Ballance told Berner at the time that he'd be eligible for parole after 10 years.
The hearing is scheduled for one day.
