Dennis Oland appeal
Dennis Oland appeal
The lawyer for Dennis Oland opened the appeal of his murder conviction before three justices of the Court of Appeal in Fredericton yesterday.
Alan Gold talked about motive, an illegal search and an innocent mistake in his arguments to have the second degree murder charge overturned and his client aquitted…or at least a new trial ordered. Oland sat in the prisoner’s box.
The hearing is expected to last until tomorrow and Chief Justice Ernest Drapeau said the court will provide a decision as quickly as possible.
