Denis Oland; New Brunswick; Bulletin: His appeal of his second-degree murder conviction in the 2011 slaying of his father, New Brunswick multimillionaire Richard Oland, is under way - with contentions that the trial judge erred in law by admitting certain pieces of evidence, including Oland's blood-stained brown sports jacket, his father's cellphone records and electronic communications between the appellant and his wife about their financial situation. The defence also contends the trial judge erred in his instructions to the jury on several issues, including Oland's "alleged after-the-fact conduct," when he told police he was wearing a navy blazer during his visit with his father instead of the brown sports jacket he was actually wearing, which was taken to be dry cleaned the morning after police told him he was a suspect in his father's death. CBC News;

"Dennis Oland has been denied the bail release he was seeking as he awaits to appeal his second-degree murder conviction in the 2011 slaying of his father, New Brunswick multimillionaire Richard Oland. CBC Dennis Oland's bid to have his second-degree murder conviction overturned by New Brunswick's highest court begins today in Fredericton. His lawyers will argue to a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeal that it was an "unreasonable" verdict and a "miscarriage of justice." Oland, 48, was found guilty by a Saint John jury last December ​in the 2011 death of his father, multimillionaire Richard Oland. His lawyers are seeking to have the conviction quashed and either an acquittal entered or a new trial ordered. They contend the trial judge erred in law by admitting certain pieces of evidence, including Oland's blood-stained brown sports jacket, his father's cellphone records and electronic communications between the appellant and his wife about their financial situation. The defence also contends the trial judge erred in his instructions to the jury on several issues, including Oland's "alleged after-the-fact conduct," when he told police he was wearing a navy blazer during his visit with his father instead of the brown sports jacket he was actually wearing, which was taken to be dry cleaned the morning after police told him he was a suspect in his father's death.........Dennis Oland, 48, is currently serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for at least 10 years after being found guilty in December of second-degree murder in the 2011 slaying of his father, New Brunswick multimillionaire Richard Oland… His son, Dennis Oland, was the last known person to see him alive during a meeting at his office the night before. A brown sports jacket seized from Oland's bedroom closet on July 14, 2011, had four small blood stains on it and the DNA extracted from three of those areas matched that of his father.........The appeal is scheduled to take three days. It's unclear when a decision will be delivered.Oland is still seeking to be released on bail pending the outcome of his appeal. The Court of Appeal of New Brunswick twice refused to grant Oland bail, saying it would undermine the public's confidence in the justice system to release a convicted murderer. The Supreme Court of Canada has agreed to hear his bail appeal on Oct. 31."
