His lawyers say his sentence is 'illegal' and 'manifestly unreasonable'
Alexandre Bissonnette arrives at the court house in Quebec City on Feb. 21, 2017.
Alexandre Bissonnette should instead be given a sentence of 25 years before being eligible for parole for his Jan. 29, 2017 attack on the Quebec City Islamic Cultural Centre, the motion filed with the Quebec Court of Appeal says. The six life sentences were automatic after Bissonnette pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, but the defence had asked that they be served concurrently.
