Luka Magnotta has dropped an appeal of a conviction in Montreal in the first-degree murder of engineering student Jun Lin.
Magnotta appeared before the Quebec Court of Appeal via video conference from jail on Wednesday.
A judge asked him if he was dropping his appeal voluntarily, and Magnotta replied yes.
The withdrawal of the appeal comes a day after CBC reported on the impending move.
In December, a jury found the 32-year-old guilty of the 2012 first-degree murder of Lin, a Chinese national who was studying engineering in Montreal.
Magnotta was also found guilty of:
- Committing an indignity to a body.
- Publishing obscene material.
- Mailing obscene material.
- Criminal harassment.
Magnotta admitted to committing the acts, but Leclair argued he should have been found not criminally responsible because of mental-health issues.
Leclair had filed two appeals in January seeking a new trial.
Both were dropped on Wednesday.
One appeal cited judicial errors, and another was seeking leave to appeal on a number of other issues.
Magnotta's first-degree murder charge carries a sentence of life imprisonment with no chance of parole for 25 years.
