Robert Hoefman had argued that much of the evidence against him was obtained illegally, such as through CCTV cameras.
Alberta’s top court has denied an appeal for a man found guilty of trying to extort a businessman of $1 million and killing a random stranger.

Court heard that Hoefman’s DNA was on some letters and on his prescription glasses that were found underneath the victim, James Satre.
