CAC-541607 – Tyler Anthony MacNeil v. His Majesty the King

Tyler Anthony MacNeil was found guilty of second degree murder in December 2024 in the death of Leonard Groves. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, with parole ineligibility set at 12 years. In appealing his conviction, Mr. MacNeil says the trial judge erred in his assessment of the issue of self-defence and misapprehended certain evidence.

This appeal hearing is scheduled for a half day, starting at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, May 12, 2026. It will be heard by a three-member panel comprised of Chief Justice Michael J. Wood, Justice Peter M.S. Bryson, and Justice Carole A. Beaton.
