The new lawyer for a man convicted of a triple-slaying in Cambridge Bay four years ago has launched an appeal, saying the jury did not get the entire story.

Chris Bishop's new lawyer set to appeal murder conviction, saying there's more information available than what the jury heard when they found Bishop guilty of three counts of murder.

Chris Bishop was sentenced to life in prison with no eligibility for parole for 16 years in late August 2010, for a triple-murder four years ago after a jury had found him guilty on three counts of murder and two of attempted murder that June.
