Oland to face retrial next October for murder of his multi-millionaire father
SAINT JOHN, N.B. — Dennis Oland will face a retrial for his father’s murder next October.
Judge Terrence Morrison on Thursday set Oct. 10 for a trial that could last months.
Oland was found guilty in 2015 of Richard Oland’s second-degree murder, but the province’s appeal court overturned the conviction in October 2016 and ordered a new trial.
Unresolved issues had prevented Judge Terrence Morrison from setting a trial date, but he was able to set one, along with a March 6 date to settle pre-trial issues, after a conference in Saint John, N.B., Thursday.
