Michal Rafferty will be back in court today. Rafferty will appear by video in the Ontario Court of Appeal in Toronto. The man who was convicted of kidnapping, sexual assault and first-degree murder in the death of Victoria Stafford is appealing the conviction of first degree murder saying the judge did not properly instruct the jury. He also feels the jury did not understand the required evidence to convict him of first-degree murder. Rafferty was already denied Ontario legal aid for his appeal. However he is now seeking a lawyer under section 684 of the Criminal Code which allows a court or judge to appoint legal aid if they feel the accused does not have sufficient means to obtain assistance.
