The Crown is appealing the sentence of Tyler Noel who is currently serving life in prison with no chance of parole for 16 years in the death of Moncton teen Baylee Wylie.
Twenty-year-old Noel pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced last month.
On behalf of the attorney general of New Brunswick, Crown prosecutor Kathryn Gregory filed an application with the Court of Appeal in Fredericton arguing Noel’s sentence is “low”, “unfit” and “unreasonable”.
Devin Morningstar, 19, was convicted of first-degree murder in Wylie’s death earlier this year.
Twenty-one-year-old Marissa Shephard is in custody facing first degree murder and arson charges in Wylie’s death and will stand trial beginning in February.
