Prockner argued that evidence was not properly weighed in the decision to give him an adult sentence, life in prison with no chance of parole for 10 years.

That sentence retroactively started upon his arrest, Jan. 13, 2015.

In a 23 page written decision from three appeals court justices, they concluded based on the court proceedings that the sentencing judge did not err in her ways when giving Prockner an adult sentence in the murder.

This means, Prockner will continue serving his adult sentence. As of Septemeber, 2017 Prockner was serving his sentence in the Prince Albert Penitentiary.
