SAINT JOHN, N.B. — The family of both murder victim Richard Oland and his accused killer, Dennis Oland, say they are steadfast in their support for Dennis as he faces retrial in his father’s murder.
Evidence will begin to be presented on Tuesday now that a jury is in place for Dennis Oland’s trial, which is estimated to take at least four months.

Oland has been free on bail while awaiting the retrial.
