A Quesnel man convicted of first-degree murder has taken another step towards an appeal.
23-year old Edward James Penner has now retained council according to territorial court services, although no date has been set yet for an appeal.
Penner was charged in connection with the shooting death of 25-year old Adam Cormack, whose body was found in a forested area near Whitehorse in June of 2017.
Penner filed a notice of appeal almost immediately after a 14-member jury found him guilty back in September of 2019.
He is serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years.
