David Folker appealing 2nd degree murder conviction

Two months after he was found guilty of second-degree murder in the July 2010 death of his girlfriend, Ann Marie Shirran, David Folker is appealing his conviction.

One of Folker's lawyers, Jason Edwards, filed anotice of appeal on Wednesday in St. John's.

Folker, 43, was found guilty by a 12-member jury on Nov. 8, 2013. In December, he was sentenced to life without the chance of parole for 15 years.

Folker's lawyers have filed only a notice of appeal for the murder conviction. There has been no application in connection with Folker's other conviction for performing an indignity to a human body.

There is no word on when the appeal will be heard.
