Canada’s Supreme Court has declined to hear the appeal of Anthony Bilodeau, one of two men convicted in the 2020 fatal shooting of Métis hunters Jacob Sansom and Maurice Cardinal in eastern Alberta.
Bilodeau was convicted of manslaughter and second-degree murder in the deaths of Jacob Sansom and his uncle Maurice Cardinal on a rural road near Glendon in 2020. His father, Roger Bilodeau, was also convicted, receiving two manslaughter convictions for the shootings.
As is customary, the Supreme Court did not give reasons for its dismissal of Anthony Bilodeau’s leave to appeal.
In March of 2020 the Bilodeau’s had been concerned about a truck parked at the end of their rural property. They chased down the vehicle and there was a confrontation.
Anthony Bilodeau was sentenced t life in prison with no chance of parole for 13 years. His father, Roger, was convicted of manslaughter in the two killings and handed a 10-year prison sentence.
