A Mongrel Mob member found guilty of murdering a Rotorua teenager by running him down with a ute has had his second appeal thrown out.
Kawerau Mongrel Mob member Quentin Pukeroa was convicted and jailed for the 2009 murder of 16-year-old Jordan Herewini in Murupara.
Pukeroa crashed his ute through the Herewini property, running over and killing the teen right outside his house.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 15 years in the Rotorua High Court in 2010.
Pukeroa appealed the conviction, which was dismissed by the Court of Appeal last year.
He then took the appeal to the Supreme Court on the grounds the case had been "overly complicated" and the arguments hadn't been summarised in a balanced manner.
