On July 7, 2011, Richard Oland, a 69-year-old Canadian businessman and former vice-president for Moosehead Brewery, was bludgeoned to death in his office on Canterbury Street in Saint John, New Brunswick.[1] His son, Dennis Oland, came under suspicion for the killing and was charged with second-degree murder.[2][3]
Dennis' first trial, the longest and most expensive trial in the history of Saint John,[4] ended with his conviction on December 19, 2015.[5][6][7] Throughout the high-profile court case, intimate details about the private lives of the entire Oland family were revealed.[8]
Dennis was sentenced to life in prison, with a possibility of parole in ten years, as recommended by the jury.[9] His lawyers immediately began the appeals process, seeking the appellate judges to either overturn the guilty verdict, order a new trial, or enter a full acquittal.[10] The appeal was successful, and Dennis' conviction was overturned on October 24, 2016. On July 19, 2019, he was found not guilty on retrial.[11]
