Crown appeals Moncton killer Tyler Noel's 'inordinately low' sentence

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/tyler-noel-murder-sentence-appeal-baylee-wylie-1.4260561

In an application filed with the Court of Appeal in Fredericton on behalf of the attorney general of New Brunswick, prosecutor Kathryn Gregory asks the court to allow the appeal and to "vary" Noel's sentence.

She does not indicate the length of sentence the Crown is seeking but argues the sentencing judge "erred in law and in principle" by setting parole ineligibility at 16 years.

It's "clearly unreasonable in all the circumstances having regard to the fundamental purpose, objectives and principles of both parole ineligibility and sentencing," Gregory wrote in the application, a copy of which was sent to Noel at Springhill Institution in Nova Scotia.

Two years after being arrested on charges of first-degree murder and arson, Marissa Shephard is expected to face a judge and jury this week in Moncton.

Shephard, 22, accused in the death of teenager Baylee Wylie, has been in custody since March 1, 2016.

A total of 1,200 people were sent summonses as potential jurors in the case, which is scheduled to be heard over the next three months.

'Vile and disgusting:' Marissa Shephard handed 4-month sentence for spitting on jail guard
Two months after Wylie's body was found in her Moncton triplex, Shephard was arrested outside a hotel a few kilometres away.

Firefighters discovered Wylie's body under a mattress when they responded to an early morning call Dec.17, 2015, at a triplex on Sumac Street. Police quickly determined foul play was involved.

Devin Morningstar, 21, was the first to stand trial for murder.

Morningstar gave police two long statements, describing drug use and violence leading up to Baylie's death. A pathologist testified Wylie was stabbed up to 200 times.

Morningstar, 19 at the time of the killing, was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for at least 25 years.

Tyler Noel, 20, pleaded guilty last May to second-degree murder. The agreed statement of facts presented at his sentencing said Noel attacked Wylie the evening before his death, beating and stabbing him.

Wylie was then left for dead in Shephard's basement, but he managed to crawl up the stairs to the first-floor door, where Noel caught him with his hand on the doorknob. Wylie suffered another beating, which he did not survive.

Noel received a life sentence for his part in the murder. Judge Stephen McNally decided Noel must serve at least 16 years before he is eligible for parole.

Wylie's mother, Amanda Wylie, and his aunt Angela Wylie have been present for both proceedings. Angela Wylie said they will also be present for Shephard's trial.

Shephard is being held at the New Brunswick Women's Correctional Centre in Miramichi. During her time there, she has earned a four-month sentence for spitting in the face of a guard on July 28, 2017.

Jury selection is scheduled to last two days.
 
Marissa Shephard murder trial hears about hours following death of Baylee Wylie

Marissa Shephard's murder trial heard Monday from a woman who "hung out" with the accused and two others, just hours after Baylee Wylie was killed.

Bailey Fillmore, who was friends with Wylie, said her mother woke her on the morning of Dec. 17, 2015, and drove her to the burned triplex on Sumac Street, where firefighters discovered the 18-year-old's body.

Last week, Crown prosecutors called 14 witnesses. They included police officers, firefighters, a former NB Housing employee and one of Shephard's neighbours. But some of the most compelling testimony came from the unknowing getaway driver, Claude Leblanc.

Under cross-examination, Leblanc said he couldn't definitively place Shephard at the triplex, where Wylie was killed.

Forensic witness found female DNA at crime scene, court hears - March 29th

A forensic DNA expert testified at Marissa Shephard's murder trial Thursday that a blood stain found on the rear porch of 96 Sumac St. in Moncton belongs to a woman with the initials M.S.

Scott-Mascioli told the court the RCMP label DNA samples with initials only, so she did not give the court the full name of the DNA match.

She said Wylie's DNA was found on the blade of a knife, at least four gloves and the basement staircase, railing and walls. DNA belonging to two men, with initials T.N. and D.M., were found on one of the gloves.

Baylee Wylie died from 'sharp force injuries,' pathologist testifies - March 26th

The doctor who performed Baylee Wylie's autopsy testified Monday that he suffered more than 140 "sharp-force injuries," most of them while alive.

The 18-year-old was found with a punctured artery, heart, lung and liver, any of which would have been fatal, Dr. Ather Naseemuddin said as Marissa Shephard's murder trial entered its third week.

Earlier on Monday, key Crown witness Devin Morningstar refused to testify for the third time.

Justice Zoël Dionne said Devin Morningstar's refusal to testify can qualify as contempt of court.

"You can rest assured that Mr. Morningstar will be dealt with according to the law," Dionne said after the latest refusal. "Not within this procedure but within a separate procedure. This will not be left untreated."

The Crown's cross-examination of Marissa Shephard lasted all of five minutes Tuesday as testimony wrapped up at the murder trial of the 22-year-old Moncton woman.

Wonder why the 3 were not tried together? What a waste of taxpayer funds.
 
It seems to me, after reading, that the most-involved perp got the most lenient sentence, while the least involved, got the max. jmo

What the jury didn't hear at Marissa Shephard's 1st-degree murder trial
 
Marissa Shephard sentenced to life in prison for Baylee Wylie murder
"A young woman found guilty in the violent stabbing death of a Moncton teenager has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.

Marissa Shephard was sentenced Friday in Moncton provincial court.

"Baylee Wylie was, quite simply, tortured to death,” said Justice Zoel Dionne during Shephard’s sentencing hearing.
Wylie’s remains were found in a burned-out apartment in Moncton on Dec. 17, 2015. Court heard that he had been tied to a chair, beaten, and stabbed about 200 times.

Wylie’s aunt, Angela Wylie, read a victim impact statement in court Friday.

“The loss has been unmeasurable,” she told the court.

Shephard was also sentenced to three years for arson, minus time served"

In the notice, Shephard says Justice Zoël Dionne made an error in law when he allowed into evidence the "hearsay videotaped statement" that Devin Morningstar gave to police after Wylie was found dead in her house.

Shephard also says the judge erred in his charge to the jury on the issues of the lack of cross-examination of Devin Morningstar during her trial, and the "Crown's choice not to cross-examine me."

Woman pleads guilty to manslaughter in 2015 death of 18-year-old man

A file photo of Marissa Shephard

''HALIFAX -- More than five years after a young man was murdered in Moncton, N.B., a woman has pleaded guilty to manslaughter and arson, relating to his death.

Marissa Shephard was originally found guilty of first degree murder in the death of 18-year-old Baylee Wylie, who was stabbed about 200 times in December 2015. The court has since overturned that conviction due to errors committed during her 2018 jury trial.

Court documents released Tuesday show that Shephard admitted to participating in the attack, but says she did so because she was afraid for her own safety.''

''According to earlier court documents, the victim, Shephard, and two other young men gathered at her home for "some drug-fueled excitement" that ended tragically with Wylie being tied to a chair, beaten and stabbed repeatedly with a variety of weapons.''

''Shephard is scheduled to be sentenced in August.''

Marissa Shephard has reached her prison release date less than three years after admitting her role in the brutal killing of an 18-year-old Moncton man.

Shephard, in her late 20s, is serving a sentence for manslaughter and arson after admitting her involvement in the Dec. 17, 2015, killing of Baylee Wylie.

A Feb. 12 decision by the Parole Board of Canada provided to CBC News this week says Shephard is approaching statutory release.

That's the point when an offender has served two-thirds of their sentence and must be released. Shephard will remain under supervision and must comply with a long list of conditions.

Correctional Service Canada, which runs prisons, says Shephard's statutory release date was Feb. 27. But in an email Tuesday, the service didn't say if she had been released.

[...]

She'll be required to live at a "community-based residential facility" or a psychiatric facility approved by Correctional Service of Canada.
