RETRIAL SET TO RESUME IN OLAND MURDER TRIAL

The stalled retrial of Dennis Oland for the second degree murder of his father, former Moosehead Breweries executive Richard Oland, is due to resume on Tuesday in a Saint John, N.B., courtroom. It has been more than a month since 16 jury members were selected for what is expected to be a lengthy, fourmonth trial, but a two-week delay has set back the trial schedule. Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Terrence Morrison told jurors on Nov. 7 when he announced the adjournment that an “unexpected legal issue” had to be resolved before the trial could begin. Information relating to the delay is under a publication ban. This is the second trial of Dennis Oland, 50, a financial adviser, in the bludgeoning death of his father, whose body was discovered July 7, 2011, in his Saint John office.
