@Harold Hanratty FYI This is my first public comment about Dick's
demise and I would not be a bit surprised to see CBC block it like
they usually do with most of my comment. That said just what the CBC
published about about the murder of a friend gives me many reasons to
doubt that Dick's son is guilty of anything. Who we should doubt about
lots things that they said during the trial and what they did during
the investigation of the murder is the Saint John PD.
P.S Hey Alex Johnston thanks for allowing my last comment to stand the
test of time but what about all the rest?

Dennis Oland's bid for bail appeal granted by Supreme Court
Appeal of 2nd-degree murder conviction in death of father scheduled to
be heard in October
By Alan White, CBC News Posted: Jun 30, 2016 10:50 AM AT
Dennis Oland has been in custody since Dec. 19, 2015, after being
found guilty of second-degree murder in the 2011 bludgeoning death of
his father.

Convicted killer Oland asks Supreme Court of Canada to hear bail case
The Supreme Court of Canada has agreed to hear Dennis Oland's appeal
of a New Brunswick court decision not to grant him bail while he
appeals his second-degree murder conviction.
The court directed its registrar to set the appeal for a hearing as
early as possible in the court's fall session.
'It is a first step toward Dennis regaining his freedom.'
- Alan Gold, lawyer for Dennis Oland
The country's highest court does not give its reasons when it states
whether it will grant leave to appeal a case.
"Obviously, we are delighted," said lawyer Alan Gold of Oland's legal team.
"It is a first step toward Dennis regaining his freedom," he said.
Alan Gold, Dennis Oland's defence lawyer
Lawyer Alan Gold said Thursday's announcement the Supreme Court would
hear Dennis Oland's appeal of a decision that refused him bail was
"welcome news." (CBC)
"But obviously it is a crucial first step."
Oland, 48, was sentenced to life in prison with no parole eligibility
for 10 years after being convicted of second-degree murder in the 2011
bludgeoning death of his father, multimillionaire Saint John
businessman Richard Oland.

Dennis Oland asks Supreme Court of Canada to hear bail case
In custody since Dec. 19
Oland has been in custody since being found guilty on Dec. 19, 2015,
after a three-month trial in the New Brunswick Court of Queen's Bench.
The conviction is being appealed to the New Brunswick Court of Appeal
and is scheduled to be heard beginning Oct. 18, provided a transcript
of the trial is prepared by then.
Oland also filed a motion to be released on bail pending the hearing
and the decision in the appeal. But Court of Appeal Justice J.C. Marc
Richard denied the motion, stating "the confidence of the public in
the administration of justice would be undermined" if a convicted
murder were to be released pending appeal.
Richard's decision was later upheld by a three-justice panel of the
New Brunswick Court of Appeal.
No hearing likely before October
The Supreme Court's fall session typically begins in October. This
year's opening date of the fall session has yet to be confirmed.
Gold was pleased by the court's instructions for the registrar to
schedule the hearing as soon as possible in the fall session.
"We appreciate the court wants it heard as quickly as possible," he
said, adding that Oland's legal team is prepared to argue the case "at
a moment's notice."

Lisa Oland (left) and mother Connie Oland (right) are shown in a file
photo with Dennis Oland taken during his trial in September 2015.
Oland's mother and wife released a statement through their lawyer that
called the decision "welcome news."
"Our feelings are what any family would experience in our situation,"
stated mother Connie Oland and Lisa Oland in the statement. "We are
obviously very emotional.
'Dennis's absence these last few months has been incredibly difficult.'
- Statement by Connie Oland and Lisa Oland
"We hope this decision brings us a step closer to Dennis regaining his
freedom. Dennis's absence these last few months has been incredibly
difficult, and has compounded the loss and anguish our family has
suffered since Dick's murder."
'Model candidate,' argued lawyers
The Criminal Code of Canada allows bail to be granted, pending appeal,
if the appeal is not frivolous, the convict's detention is not
necessary in the public interest, and the convict agrees to surrender
into custody at the appropriate time.
In seeking leave to appeal the bail decision, Oland's lawyers stated
the case provided an opportunity for the country's highest court to
clarify the legal test for granting bail pending appeal.
"The leave application is based on the fact that appeal courts across
Canada have expressed divergent opinions on the legal test for bail
pending appeal," stated lawyer Bill Teed on behalf of Oland's lawyers
at the time the application was filed.
Oland's lawyers stated in their application that Oland was a "model
candidate" for interim release and his case could "provide clear
guidance" on when bail may be granted pending appeal.
"At present, there is surprisingly no consensus," stated Oland's
lawyers — Alan Gold, Gary Miller and James McConnell — in their
38-page application.
The Crown argued there was no need for the Supreme Court to hear the
bail arguments because the case doesn't raise "a matter of national
importance."
The Crown said "it is overreach" for Oland's lawyers to suggest the
case is of national importance.

Still looking for that OJ justice. If he can't do the time he should
not have done the crime.
This does show how the justice system favors those with money.

@Harold Hanratty Oh he did it! The only question is did he plan it
first. All the evidence point to a case of 1st degree murder now all

@William Roberts here is absolutely NOTHING stopping anyone in the
same situation from taking the same course of action. You or I could
mortgage our house, cash in our RRSPs...whatever to fund an appeal.
Just because he is wealthy and chooses to use that wealth isn't any
proof that justice favours the wealthy. IF he's granted bail just
BECAUSE he's wealthy, well that's a different story.

@Gary Purcell Complete and utter garbage. If you don't have the price
of admission you don't get in. The law is not designed in the same way
for the poor. Legal aid would have taken a deal the day after the
crime and that person would be serving life with pos after 15. That's
the deal.
There would be no 5000 person jury selection or lengthy trail with
high priced lawyers. There would be no multi attempts at bail hearings
or even an appeal on verdict without valid and credible evidence of
error.

Not surprised at all. The Supreme's see all the evidence, not just
what was shown at trial and they see that a man has been wrongfully
put in jail so they will give him the opportunity to justify bail as
they should. He will be acquitted on appeal, mark my words!

A jury of 12 people unanimously found him guilty. They sat through all
the evidence and delivered a unanimous decision. He is guilty.

@Eric Fowler And that jury was not selected from 100-200 candidates.
The jury pool would have filled Harbour Station. Nothing was spared to
give the defense every opportunity to acquit. The dream team failed.
Guilty as charged was the proper out come, but money buys a second,
third....infinite number of retries.

The evidence ahainst Dennis Oland was always rather circumstancial.
And while I am not claiming he is innocent, there were and remain
questions.
