Kevin Mantla, a Gameti man sentenced to life in prison for carrying out a deadly 2015 stabbing, is appealing his conviction and sentence.

SA国际影视传媒�I was never given a fair trial,SA国际影视传媒� wrote Mantla in a handwritten application, dated Nov. 15, 2018, sent to the Court of Appeal of the Northwest Territories.

Calling the act the SA国际影视传媒渦ltimate form of domestic violence,SA国际影视传媒� Justice Louise Charbonneau sentenced Mantla to life with no chance of parole for 20 years.

He's now moving to appeal that sentence, and his conviction, on the grounds he was SA国际影视传媒渟et upSA国际影视传媒� by his lawyers and Crown prosecutors, court records show.

SA国际影视传媒�The lawyers that were given to me by Legal Aid were a team with the Crown behind closed doors,SA国际影视传媒� Mantla wrote.
