Stepmom convicted in beating death of girl appeals to Supreme Court
CALGARY — A Calgary woman serving a life sentence for murdering her six-year-old stepdaughter, Meika Jordan, is appealing to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Marie Magoon is asking the court to overturn her first-degree murder conviction for torturing and beating the child to death in 2011.
It’s unclear if the high court will hear the application.
Magoon was originally convicted of second-degree murder alongside Meika’s biological father, Spencer Jordan, in September 2015.
