Snowtown serial killer Robert Joe Wagner has been denied a non-parole period, after a judge ruled he is a 'hardened killer' who has shown no remorse for his crimes.
Wagner represented himself before the South Australian Supreme Court in March as he argued that having a possible release date would assist with his mental wellbeing.
Justice Greg Parker on Thursday dismissed the application in a hearing lasting about 10 seconds.
