The presiding judge at Dennis Oland’s second-degree murder trial in Saint John, Justice John Walsh, has advised all jurors in the case to keep in view the evidence they heard “suggesting the police investigation … was inadequate.” Court of Queen’s Bench Justice stated on Tuesday that “at the end of the trial, it will be for you to determine whether evidence about the inadequacy of the police investigation alone, or along with other evidence, causes you to have a reasonable doubt about whether Dennis Oland committed the offence charged.”
Justice John Walsh alleged that “I will give you a full instruction on this as part of my charge to you at the end of this case.” 47-year-old Dennis Oland is facing second-degree murder charges for the death of his father, Richard Oland, who was found lying face down in a pool of blood in his investment firm office on July 7, 2011. The 69-year-old renowned businessman was tortured before his death as reports show existence of more than 45 blunt and sharp injuries to his head, neck and hands.
Being the last known person to see his father alive during a meeting at his office on Canterbury Street the night before, Dennis Oland, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. The trial began on Sept. 16 and there has been a lot of testimonies indicating potential mishandling of the case. According to the most recent evidence brought to light on Monday, the court was told that the former lead investigator touched a key piece of evidence in the Crown’s case against Oland without wearing any gloves.
