New Brunswick judge delays Oland murder hearing because of unresolved issues
SAINT JOHN, N.B. — There are many issues that need to be resolved in the retrial of accused murderer Dennis Oland before a date can even be set for it, the judge says.
Crown prosecutors and lawyers for Oland appeared in a New Brunswick court Tuesday for a hearing to set a date, but the judge put off determining when the trial will be held.
Oland is charged in the 2011 bludgeoning death of his multimillionaire father, Richard Oland, who was found face down in a pool of blood in his Saint John office on July 7, 2011.
“It seems to me there are a number of factors which are going to have an impact on when this trial starts,” Judge Terrence Morrison told the lawyers.
