Her three co-accused – including her on-again, off-again boyfriend Daniel Wong – were convicted on the same charges.

All four were sentenced in January to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years on the murder conviction, and life for attempted murder. The sentences are to be served concurrently.

In her notice of appeal, the 28-year-old woman says the verdict was “unreasonable and not supported by the evidence.”

Pan also argues the jury selection process was “fundamentally flawed,” resulting in a jury that was “not properly composed.”
