Wade Skiffington was convicted of second -degree murder in the shooting death of his common-law wife, Wanda Martin , 20 , in 2001 .

He has maintained for 30 years he’s not guilty of murdering his wife.

The Crown and lawyers agreed to have the casings and a DNA sample retested by BCIT 's forensic DNA lab.

A new appeal will focus on the admissibility of the statements he gave to undercover officers.
