Dellen Millard and Marc Smich to appeal for reduced sentences, in relation to deaths of Tim Bosma, Laura Babcock and Wayne Millard

A big week for Ontario's highest court, in relation to a 2018 murder in Hamilton.

It'll hear appeals of the two men convicted of the high-profile murders of Tim Bosma and Laura Babcock.

Dellen Millard was to be ineligible for parole for 75 years and Mark Smich for 50 years after judges imposed consecutive sentences.

But the two men will be entitled to reduced sentences after the Supreme Court ruled last year those types of stacked parole ineligibility periods amount to cruel and unusual punishment.

Millard is also appealing his 2018 conviction for murdering his father, Wayne Millard.

The three-judge panel will hear arguments all week.
