Another hearing date has been set in the New Brunswick Court of Appeal for convicted killer Marissa Shephard.

The 23 year old is appealing her sentence of first degree murder sentence in the death of Baylee Wylie in May of 2018.

Details of her appeal were heard in Fredericton on June 19th, but a Judge reserved their decision until a later date.

A further date has been set for August 14th.

The appeal claims the judge erred in law when allowing hearsay videotaped statements of Devin Morningstar, who was also convicted of first degree murder in Wylie’s death.

Shephard is serving a life sentence with no chance of parole.

Tyler Noel also pleaded guilty to second degree murder in the same case.
