Murder of Richard Oland On July 7, 2011, the body of 69 year old businessman Richard Oland, previously a Vice President with Moosehead Brewery, was found in his office at the investment firm Far End Corp. Dennis Oland's conviction was overturned by the New Brunswick Court of Appeal on October 24, 2016. In 1941, Richard "Dick" Henry Oland was the second born son to Philip Warburton Oland and Mary Howard Oland, after the birth of his brother, Derek Oland, two years prior (1939).[11] Derek and Richard were born and bred in Rothesay, the suburb community of Saint John's wealthy elite. Ainsworth operated his own business, Printing Plus, from the 1st floor of the building, and rented out the 3rd floor to local bands to practice after office hours ended for the day.[17] The morning of July 7, 2011, Richard was discovered dead in his office on Canterbury St. Mark Smith testified that Richard's office was "one of the bloodiest crime scenes of his career, with the most blows to a victim."[1] The forensic pathologist, Dr. Matthew Bowes, the physician who reviewed Dr. He believed that his father had high expectations of him, but that Dennis was not meeting those expectations.

A Rogers Communications analyst, from the cell service provider, testified that the 6:44 pm "ping" on July 6, 2011, was the last time Richard's iPhone was seen on the Rogers network. The Defence said the jacket was laundered by the wife because the Olands had visitation and funerals to attend, since Dennis's father was deceased.

Justice Jack Walsh, the former prosecutor in the trial of Allan Legere, presided over the trial for Second degree murder.[52] Walsh reviewed the admissibility of a number of evidence items submitted to the Crown by police prior to the murder trial[53] As the largest jury pool in New Brunswick history, jury selection was held in the nearby hockey arena. The blood spatter expert didn’t arrive from Halifax until four days after the murder, by which time the body had been removed and spatter had dried and flaked.
