One appeal is by Douglas Garland, who was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 75 years — three parole ineligibility periods that are consecutive rather than concurrent. The two killers received concurrent parole ineligibility periods and can apply for release after 25 years. Garland is appealing his sentence while the prosecution is appealing Klaus and Frank's sentence. The three family members had been attacked at the home before Garland took them to his parents' farm near Airdrie. Court of Queen's Bench Justice Eric Macklin sided with defence lawyers in imposing the minimum 25-year parole ineligibility period.
