Ontario’s highest court has dismissed the appeals of two men convicted of the first-degree murder of Allan Lanteigne, who was beaten to death in the front foyer of his Ossington Avenue home on March 2, 2011.
Ivezic, who beat Lanteigne to death with a heavy object, has remained behind bars since his conviction.
Writing for the three-judge panel of the Ontario Court of Appeal, Justice David Doherty said he was dismissing the appeals, noting the prosecution had presented a “formidable case pointing to Mr. Ivezic as the murderer,” including his DNA beneath Lanteigne’s fingernails. Doherty commended the trial judge, Justice Rob Goldstein, for maintaining “an even-handed control of the proceedings throughout the trial” and ensuring Ivezic’s conduct didn’t cause harm to Papasotiriou.
