• Khill sought to overturn both his manslaughter conviction and his reduced sentence following his 2022 retrial.
• The Ontario Court of Appeal cut Khill’s original eight-year term to six years after finding a trial judge’s sentencing error.
• Khill has maintained he acted in self-defence using his military training when he shot Jonathan Styres breaking into his truck in 2016.
• In keeping with its routine practice, the Supreme Court offered no published reasons for declining to hear Khill’s appeal.
