The Supreme Court of Canada has dismissed an appeal from a Calgary couple convicted in the 2011 beating death of their six-year-old daughter, Meika Jordan.
The girl’s father, Spencer Jordan, and stepmother, Marie Magoon, were initially convicted of second-degree murder in 2015.
Last year, the Alberta Court of Appeal upgraded the convictions to first-degree murder.
The two appealed that ruling.
The Supreme Court has dismissed their appeals with a 9-0 ruling from the bench.
Reasons for the decision will be formally released later.
