In May, a jury found Anthony Bilodeau guilty of second-degree murder for shooting Maurice Cardinal, 57, and guilty of manslaughter for shooting his nephew Jacob Sansom, 39.
His father, Roger Bilodeau, was found guilty of manslaughter in both deaths.
Roger and Anthony, 33, had pleaded not guilty to two counts each of second-degree murder in the deaths of Sansom and Cardinal.
Sansom and Cardinal were found dead on the side of a road near Glendon, Alta., northeast of Edmonton near Bonnyville, on March 28, 2020.
