REGINA – A Regina man found guilty of second-degree murder in the slaying of a 19-year-old two decades ago is appealing the conviction.
The man was 17 when Misha Pavelick was killed at a nighttime bush party at Regina Beach in May 2006.
He can’t be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
A jury convicted the appellant last year, and a judge later sentenced him to the maximum youth term of seven years.
In court documents filed with Saskatchewan’s Court of Appeal, the man’s lawyer argues the judge made legal errors.
The lawyer says the judge didn’t present evidence and the position of the parties to the jury in a fair and balanced manner.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 8, 2026.
