An African migrant sentenced last August to eight years in prison for two counts of HIV exposure has lost his appeal for a new trial in the Manitoba Appeal Court. The province's highest court also refused to hear an appeal of his eight-year prison sentence, according to a brief report in the Winnipeg Free Press.
He had been given double credit for the 34 months he has already served in pre-sentence custody, reducing his remaining sentence to 28 months. He now faces automatic deportation back to Zambia once his jail time is complete.
