The Court of Appeal has dismissed an appeal by the Auckland man found guilty of murdering a toddler.
Joel Loffley is serving a sentence of life imprisonment with a 19-year non-parole period for the murder of 2-year-old Joseph Ruhe Lawrence, known as JJ, who died in November 2011 in an Orakei house where he lived with his stepfather Loffley and his mother Josephine Lawrence.
