Grace millanes killer to appeal against conviction and sentence

You're referring to the case of Grace Millane, a 22-year-old British backpacker who was murdered in New Zealand in 2018.

Yes, you're correct. The man convicted of murdering Grace Millane, 27-year-old Jesse Kempson, has announced that he will appeal against his conviction and sentence.

Kempson was found guilty of murdering Grace Millane in December 2018 and was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 17 years.

According to reports, Kempson's lawyers have filed a notice of appeal with the New Zealand Court of Appeal, citing various grounds for appeal, including alleged errors in the trial process and the sufficiency of the evidence against him.

The appeal is expected to be heard in the coming months, although no date has been set yet.

It's worth noting that the appeal process is a normal part of the legal system, and it's not uncommon for convicted individuals to appeal their convictions and sentences. However, the outcome of the appeal is uncertain, and it's possible that Kempson's conviction and sentence could be upheld or overturned.

In the meantime, the Millane family has expressed their support for the appeal process, saying that they want to see justice served and that they will continue to support the authorities in their efforts to bring Kempson to justice.

It's a complex and sensitive case, and we'll have to wait and see how it unfolds.
