‘The Suspect has the stickiness that the SVoDs like and with the
real-life crime aspect and family story, it has global appeal’
Distributor eOne International Distribution
Producer eOne
Length 4 x 60 minutes
Broadcaster CBC (Canada)
This eOne production, in association with Seven Knots Media, is a
true-crime doc that follows the retrial of Dennis Oland, who in 2015
was found guilty of the murder of his millionaire father Richard.
The sixth generation of the family-owned Moosehead Beer dynasty,
Richard Oland was a prominent businessman in Nova Scotia with several
trucking companies and an investment firm to his name.
Unravelling in the quiet port city of New Brunswick in Canada, the
vicious murder of one of the area’s most prominent and wealthy
inhabitants captured the national headlines.
This 4 x 60-minute documentary follows Dennis Oland’s retrial, as well
as highlighting a justice system broken from its very foundation – it
is alleged that once the Saint John Police Department had identified
the younger Oland, who owed his father half a million dollars for a
loan that bankrolled a divorce from his first wife, as the main
suspect, tunnel vision set in and other avenues of investigation could
have been missed.
EOne executive vice-president of acquisitions Noel Hedges says the
project has finally been revealed after being under a large cloak of
secrecy for nearly two years.
Ahead of its TX next February on CBC in Canada, The Suspect will be
taken to Mipcom, where Hedges expects to receive attention from SVoD,
digital and PSB players.
“The Suspect has the stickiness that the SVoDs like and with the
real-life crime aspect and family story, it has global appeal,” says
Hedges.
“Real crime sells all over the world and is a popular genre with
women. We expect the series to do well in Latin America and
Scandinavia, and it will make up a key show within our real-crime
slate.”
Producer and distributor eOne has been pushing hard into factual
content in recent years after making its name as the vendor of dramas
such as The Walking Dead and producer of Rookie Blue, Designated
Survivor and Private Eyes.
The company was recently sold to toy firm Hasbro for $4bn (£3.3bn) – a
deal that will bolster reserves and allow its executives to double
down on premium fare such as The Suspect.
Hedges says the documentary takes viewers through the entire case,
digging into the aftermath of the murder and winding a path full of
twists and turns up to the retrial and its verdict.
“Richard Oland wasn’t a particularly liked person and came from a
community that was relatively poor,” says Hedges. “This series raises
questions over the son’s motivation and the police activity. It is a
really interesting story, which has plenty of questions left
unanswered at the end.”
Richard Oland’s wife had said her husband was never the same after
losing a bitter family battle for the helm of Moosehead to his
brother. He was described as a “verbally and emotionally” abusive
character who had an eight-year affair.
Hedges believes The Suspect is a primetime, primarily post-watershed
show that will attract both old and younger audiences as it ticks a
lot of boxes in terms of drama, intrigue and scandal.
“This is a ‘did they, didn’t they’ story with labyrinthine complexity
and it is very much a premium show,” said Hedges.
CBC won't add conflict of interest disclaimer to Oland documentary
Documentary was co-produced by defence lawyer's daughter, but CBC maintains she had no editorial input
· CBC News · Posted: Mar 09, 2020 2:56 PM AT
Dennis Oland, acquitted after a second trial for the first-degree murder of his father, Richard, was interviewed for CBC's 4-part series, The Oland Murder. The documentary was co-produced by Caitlin Gold, the daughter of Alan Gold, who was Dennis Oland's lead attorney. (The Oland Murder/CBC)
CBC has no plans to add a disclaimer or pull The Oland Murder, a four-part documentary series that aired last week and was co-produced by the daughter of Dennis Oland's defence lawyer.
"She had no editorial input at all, and if she had, then that would be a different conversation," said Chuck Thompson, CBC spokesperson.
Last week, CBC News learned that co-producer Caitlin Gold Teitelbaum is the daughter of Alan Gold, Oland's top defence lawyer.
The revelation called into question the corporation's transparency and application of its Journalistic Standards and Practices, known as JSP.

The JSP says CBC news operations should "refrain from any involvement with stories in which a member of our immediate family (including in-laws) has a strong stake."
CBC defended the credibility of the documentary in an email to CBC News on Friday and reiterated that statement Monday, saying it believes "the documentary gives viewers a fair and thorough account of the trial and its impact on the Oland family; it met all of our JSP guidelines."
The Oland Murder began airing on CBC Television on March 4. The documentary delves into the retrial of Dennis Oland, who was charged with the murder of his father, Richard.
Dennis Oland was convicted by a jury in 2015 but was acquitted by Justice Terrence Morrison at a retrial last July.
CBC commissioned the documentary series and signed a contract with Seven Knots Media Inc., an independent production company.
Journalism professor urges transparency
CBC leadership has not come nearly clean enough about who knew what and when, said Lisa Taylor, a journalism professor at Ryerson University.Taylor worked for CBC News for a decade and has worked for the corporation from time to time in training roles since then.
She said the relationship between the co-producer and the defence diminishes the value of the documentary.
"We're supposed to come to the table and be upfront and candid about not just anything that is a true conflict or presents true bias, but just something that would give people pause."
"I think now that this otherwise really compelling story will be compromised in so many people's eyes."
Not all divisions of CBC have to adhere to the corporation's journalistic standards and practices because CBC is not just a journalistic organization.
"There's so many divisions within this entity that is the public broadcaster, but on the public-facing stuff it's just the CBC," Taylor said.
Lisa Taylor, a Ryerson University journalism professor, said CBC should put a disclaimer on The Oland Murder documentary series. (Ryerson University)
The lead producer of the documentary series, Deborah Wainwirght, told a court last year that she would adhere to the same standards as CBC journalists.
Taylor said the public would expect the same standards across different divisions anyway, as most viewers and listeners wouldn't be able to distinguish what's produced by CBC News and a documentary produced by the corporation's entertainment section.
"The public doesn't understand that this is not a product that comes from the news division."
CBC News reporters Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon and Robert Jones were interviewed for the series without being told about the Gold connection.
The documentary features unprecedented access to the Olands and was heralded in the Globe and Mail as "terrific true-crime storytelling."

In an interview with CBC's Information Morning Fredericton, Wainwright cast aspersions on the local on-the-ground journalism, suggesting she brought less of a bias to the story.
"I think perhaps the timing was right, and the fact I was from the other side of the country maybe seemed like I came with less of a bias," Wainwright said.
"I didn't know the Olands. I didn't know anything about New Brunswick, so I think I came with an open mind."
During the interview, Wainwright did not reveal that Gold Teitelbaum's father was Oland's defence lawyer.
Thompson doesn't know if Gold Teitelbaum was always part of the production team or if she joined at a later date.
Reason for access
Gold Teitelbaum did provide Wainwright and her production crew access to Oland and his defence team, Thompson confirmed.When asked to do a live on-air interview, Thompson said he thinks he's already given CBC News journalists enough information.
Taylor said a disclaimer should be added at the top of each of the four parts of the series that states the connection between the co-producer and the Olands, and someone from CBC's national leadership should make themselves available for an interview.
"As taxpayers and as audience members we deserve a lot more insight."

For the record only one Yankee called me back after he had told me earlier that he could not talk to me until he heard back from the lawyers. When he called me I refused to talk to him because I was not done talking to lawyers and that he and should confer in writing byway of emails.

The best advice for anyone is to ignore the documentary altogether, it's obviously a publicity stunt.
David Amos
Reply to @Fern Robichaud: A publicity stunt for whom? I say it was obviously for the benefit of the lawyers.
George Smith
Much ado about nothing. The real story was the investigation. Shoddy police work and a crime scene used as a tourist site for police officers. It couldn't have ended any other way. Many in this area just see it as a rich guy getting off while ignoring all the information out there. Who the co-producer was is irrelevant.

found an opening to rattle the oland family and then set out to prove
their point of view. because of this the person actually killing senior

@sandymctavish726 mctavish: I tend to agree that he’s innocent. The
amateur actions of police at the crime scene, plus ignoring the stairs
and back door, all a literal mess. And the effort of the police to
surreptitiously & illegally try to get information on the potential
jurors are the reasons the last judge granted trial by judge alone. Add
to that jealously of some (many?) locals for the Oland fortune. If he is
guilty and got away with it, that’s on the cops, not the judge.

evidence that convicted him the first time and the law going to allow a
jury a second chance to convict.

Rothesay. Gerry Lowe was not sure what day it was and Anthony after
claiming it was later worried about cred if he retracted. No doubt the
Lawyers and investigators were very persuasive with what they wanted to
here. If Anthony was sure it was later it could have meant a 4th visit
that night throw the rear door. Remember the milk run after they had
already established half an alibi in the brown Jacket.

Man your facts are ALL wrong! Shaw/Ainsworth told cops morning body was

knew there was a photo shoot same night at Thandi. That was the same
night as the murder and he’s seen on video come/going from Thandi. Sorry

think you need to revisit yours....your information is not backed up by
facts. visit at 8pm? Remember oland was on video shopping in Rothesay
around that time how could he be two places at once? Coveralls? That’s
1st degree murder. Crown charged him with 2nd degree which means it
wasn’t planned. Crown said zero evidence to charge 1st degree. Who’s to
say Anthony was wrong? Wow you are clearly down to speculation now. All
three Ainsworth/Shaw and Lowe saw/hear something around the same time
and that’s fact dude. John and Anthony were in conflict? What conflict
and why are you the only one aware of any conflict? R u trying to
protect Ainsworth? Btw, this is friendly debate don’t let me get under

Daughter of Dennis Oland's defence lawyer was a producer of CBC documentary The Oland Murder
Revelation raises questions about journalistic judgment in 4-part series airing on CBC
· CBC News · Posted: Mar 06, 2020 3:34 PM AT
Dennis Oland was acquitted last year after a retrial on a charge of first-degree murder in the death of his father, Richard Oland. He was interviewed for CBC's four-part series, The Oland Murder. (The Oland Murder/CBC)
A co-producer of a major documentary series on the Richard Oland murder case broadcast by the CBC is the daughter of Dennis Oland's lead defence lawyer, CBC News has learned.
The revelation casts a new light on the unprecedented access that the documentary team had to Dennis Oland and his defence team, including top criminal lawyer Alan Gold.
It also raises questions about journalistic judgment, given that series co-producer Caitlin Gold Teitelbaum is Gold's daughter.
CBC's Journalistic Standards and Practices (JSP) says the corporation's news operations will "refrain from any involvement with stories in which a member of our immediate family (including in-laws) has a strong stake."
The Oland Murder, a four-part series that began airing on CBC Television on March 4, was not produced by CBC News employees but was commissioned by the corporation and produced by an independent production company, Seven Knots Media Inc.
The Oland Murder was co-produced by Caitlin Gold, the daughter of Alan Gold, Dennis Oland's lead defence lawyer. (The Oland Murder/CBC)
Even so, lead producer Deborah Wainwright told a court last year that she would adhere to the same standards as CBC journalists.
"Am I correct to say that you don't consider yourself to be a journalist?" Crown lawyer Kathryn Gregory asked Wainwright, during a hearing on whether she could use audio recordings of Dennis Oland's two trials.
"I'm not a journalist, but for this project I'm adhering to the Journalistic Standards and Practices of the CBC," Wainwright replied. "I'm following the JSP for this project."
Gold Teitelbaum is listed as co-producer "Caitlin Gold" in the credits of the documentary, which tells the story of the July 2011 murder of Richard Oland and the prosecution of his son Dennis for the crime.
Caitlan Gold got a co-producer credit as a courtesy after she helped the film crew gain access to the Oland family and defence team, the CBC says. (CBC)
Dennis Oland was convicted by a jury in his first trial in 2015 but, following an appeal of that decision, was acquitted by Justice Terrence Morrison at a retrial last July.
Wainwright did not respond to a request left on her voicemail.
CBC spokesperson Chuck Thompson said Friday in an emailed statement that the CBC was not aware of the family relationship before now, but the documentary "met all of our JSP guidelines," and "we have final say over the creative."
Gold Teitelbaum "provided the producers with unprecedented access to the defendant, as well as his defence team," Thompson said.
"She received an associate producer credit as a courtesy and while we acknowledge the family connection could be perceived as a conflict of interest, Caitlin had no editorial input."
Thompson's response contradicts Wainwright's account of how the team got access to the Oland family.
Richard Oland, 69, was found dead in his Saint John office on July 7, 2011. (Canadian Yachting Association)
She told CBC's Information Morning Fredericton earlier this week that the family was "a little leery at first" but eventually agreed.
"I think perhaps the timing was right, and the fact I was from the other side of the country maybe seemed like I came with less of a bias," Wainwright said.
"I didn't know the Olands. I didn't know anything about New Brunswick, so I think I came with an open mind."
Lead producer Deborah Wainwright didn't mention Caitlin Gold's connection when asked in interviews this week how she gained such broad access to the defence team during the murder trial. (CBC/The Oland Murder)
Wainwright did not reveal in that interview that her co-producer's father was Oland's defence lawyer.
In a Facebook post last month, Gold Teitelbaum described the project to friends as a three-year "journey" for her and "a wild ride," adding it was finally ready for air.
"Congrats Cait!" wrote one friend. "Does the best criminal defense lawyer in Canada (who shall remain nameless) make an appearance?"
Gold Teitelbaum replied with three heart emojis.

She did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent via Facebook, and by mid-Friday afternoon the post about the series was no longer public on her page.
Stephen Kimber, who teaches journalism at the University of King's College in Halifax, said the CBC should be transparent about the Gold connection.
A screen capture from Caitlin Gold's Facebook makes a reference to her father, Alan Gold. (Facebook)
Kimber said audience members would "have a hard job" distinguishing between CBC News content and an independently produced documentary, and in any case the corporation owes it to its audience to be up front about the Gold link.
"In this era of fake news, it's really important that all media outlets be as transparent as possible," he said.
While the broadcaster's documentary unit is separate from its news unit, CBC communications and marketing staff contacted CBC News producers in New Brunswick in recent weeks to ask for news coverage of the documentary's release.
Connie Oland, Dennis Oland's mother and Richard Oland's widow, was interviewed for the four-part documentary. (The Oland Murder/CBC)
Wainwright appeared on the three local Information Morning shows in Saint John, Fredericton and Moncton, N.B., earlier this week to promote the documentary and also spoke to CBC Television in the province.
Two CBC News reporters who covered the trial, Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon and Robert Jones, were interviewed for the documentary without being told about the Gold connection. The series also uses CBC News archival footage.
Doyle noted the production's intimate access to Dennis Oland, his family and his defence lawyers, and said the series raised questions about the prosecution's case.
In her affidavit, she said Oland's defence lawyers had told her they did not object to the request. She said Gold had told her he didn't want her to use Oland's emotional reaction to the guilty verdict in the first trial, and she agreed.
She eventually dropped her request to use the audio.

For the record Dick Oland was a friend of mine and I never met the rest of his family. However I know as sure as i am sitting here that his son did not murder him. Everybody knows that I do not trust his lawyers and the cops as far as I could throw them.

dunce category for their undivided attention for 3 months. Anyone else
gets 14 days to prove innocence.

Whodunnit: CBC hits the true-crime jackpot with The Oland Murder
/arc-anglerfish-tgam-prod-tgam.s3.amazonaws.com/public/VFMN2U6CP5FCNON7E5RVM6JZJU.jpg)
The popular culture moves along in odd
patterns, shifting this way and that. A format or genre is popular and
then there’s a reaction against it, sometimes propelled by new
technology and sometimes just by human curiosity.
When CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
arrived on CBS 20 years ago, it offered something new – a procedural
forensics crime drama that relied heavily on the audience’s belief that
cutting-edge science took the guesswork out of crime-solving. The show,
its spinoffs and shows that imitated it were often unnervingly explicit,
especially in depicting sexual fetishism, but also unnervingly admiring
of science-based police work.
Real
crime-solving is never as cut and dried as depicted on such TV shows and
the rise of the true-crime genre, first in podcasts and then in
documentary series on streaming services, was the inevitable reaction to
CSI-like crime-solving drama. The key ingredients for
successful, gripping true-crime docuseries are a murder, a puzzle,
possible miscarriage of justice and possible mistakes or bias by those
in authority.

The Oland defence counsel meeting.
Courtesy of Seven Knots Media Inc. / CBC
The Oland Murder (starts
Wednesday, CBC, 9 p.m.) has the key ingredients by the bucketful. CBC’s
four-part look at the murder of Richard Oland, of the Moosehead
Breweries family, and what happened after, is terrific true-crime
storytelling. CBC says, “The Oland Murder offers viewers
extraordinary and unprecedented access to the accused, his legal team
and their private investigators.” That’s not an idle boast. The story is
both sensational and macabre, but it isn’t presented as sensationalism.
It just digs deeper and deeper with impressive insider access to key
players.
We are first given a
portrait of “small, foggy” Saint John, New Brunswick. That’s where, on a
warm July evening in 2011, Richard Oland was brutally murdered in his
office. At first, the visuals seem a bit overstated, but when the
brutality of the murder is made clear, they don’t seem overstated at
all. Then we hear the voice of Dennis Oland saying, “A small-town police
force decided that I killed my father.”
Dennis
Oland immediately became the police’s only suspect. You can see why, at
the beginning of this tangled tale. The story takes place at the
intersection of class, money, power and tricky family dynamics.
Assumptions were made on that basis. There was evidence that Dennis had
visited his father at around the time of death. There was evidence that
Dennis had money troubles. There was history: a successful, abrasive
father having a sometimes-tense relationship with his son.
/arc-anglerfish-tgam-prod-tgam.s3.amazonaws.com/public/RLQDPU4QONFDNK3W74D4PF3CLM.jpg)
Dennis Oland, seen here, immediately became the police’s only suspect for the murder of Richard Oland.
Courtesy of Seven Knots Media Inc. / CBC
That son was convicted of second-degree murder and sent to prison. He
insisted on his innocence. After he spent 10 months in prison, the
original verdict was overturned, Dennis Oland was released and a new
trial ordered. That’s the point at which this series really starts.
Series director Deborah Wainwright persuade Dennis Oland, his mother and other
family members to participate in the project. But it’s not just that
access that gives the series depth and force. CBC’s regional resources
and archives are a huge part of it.
By
the end of the first hour, it becomes clear that Dennis Oland’s defence
team has issues with the original police investigation. An
extraordinary number of people wandered through the crime scene. And
that’s not the only suggestion of incompetence. As one of the defence
lawyers says with contempt, “You don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to
think you might check the bathroom to see if the killer cleaned up.”
What arises, as often happens in genuinely gripping true-crime series,
is the possibility that the police had a tunnel-vision approach and
could not be shifted from their first assumption, no matter how much
contrary evidence piled up.

Dennis Oland researches in his own defence.
Courtesy of Seven Knots Media Inc. / CBC
We get to see inside defence team
meetings and hear from local reporters and forensic experts. We witness
the arrival into the story of a woman, allegedly Richard Oland’s
mistress, who was in touch with him on the day of the murder. We hear a
lot about a missing cellphone and where it might have been in the hours
after the crime. What we don’t get is footage from inside the courtroom.
For that, the series uses animation that’s rooted in courtroom
sketches. It takes a while to adapt to this technique but it works.
This
is a gripping, sobering account of a grisly murder, the knotted legal
case that followed and it is insightful about the social landscape of
one very particular part of Canada. All four episodes are available for
streaming on CBC Gem.
With that, I leave you for a few days. Enjoy what you watch, be good to each other and wash your hands often. Back next week.
Editor’s note:
(March 5, 2020): Due to erroneous information from the broadcaster, a
previous version of this review said all four episodes were not yet
available on CBC Gem.

Distributor eOne International Distribution
Producer eOne
Length 4 x 60 minutes
Broadcaster CBC (Canada)
This eOne production, in association with Seven Knots Media, is a true-crime doc that follows the retrial of Dennis Oland, who in 2015 was found guilty of the murder of his millionaire father Richard.
The sixth generation of the family-owned Moosehead Beer dynasty, Richard Oland was a prominent businessman in Nova Scotia with several trucking companies and an investment firm to his name.
Unravelling in the quiet port city of New Brunswick in Canada, the vicious murder of one of the area’s most prominent and wealthy inhabitants captured the national headlines.
This 4 x 60-minute documentary follows Dennis Oland’s retrial, as well as highlighting a justice system broken from its very foundation – it is alleged that once the Saint John Police Department had identified the younger Oland, who owed his father half a million dollars for a loan that bankrolled a divorce from his first wife, as the main suspect, tunnel vision set in and other avenues of investigation could have been missed.
EOne executive vice-president of acquisitions Noel Hedges says the project has finally been revealed after being under a large cloak of secrecy for nearly two years.
Ahead of its TX next February on CBC in Canada, The Suspect will be taken to Mipcom, where Hedges expects to receive attention from SVoD, digital and PSB players.
“The Suspect has the stickiness that the SVoDs like and with the real-life crime aspect and family story, it has global appeal,” says Hedges.
“Real crime sells all over the world and is a popular genre with women. We expect the series to do well in Latin America and Scandinavia, and it will make up a key show within our real-crime slate.”
Producer and distributor eOne has been pushing hard into factual content in recent years after making its name as the vendor of dramas such as The Walking Dead and producer of Rookie Blue, Designated Survivor and Private Eyes.
The company was recently sold to toy firm Hasbro for $4bn (£3.3bn) – a deal that will bolster reserves and allow its executives to double down on premium fare such as The Suspect.
Hedges says the documentary takes viewers through the entire case, digging into the aftermath of the murder and winding a path full of twists and turns up to the retrial and its verdict.
“Richard Oland wasn’t a particularly liked person and came from a community that was relatively poor,” says Hedges. “This series raises questions over the son’s motivation and the police activity. It is a really interesting story, which has plenty of questions left unanswered at the end.”
Richard Oland’s wife had said her husband was never the same after losing a bitter family battle for the helm of Moosehead to his brother. He was described as a “verbally and emotionally” abusive character who had an eight-year affair.
Hedges believes The Suspect is a primetime, primarily post-watershed show that will attract both old and younger audiences as it ticks a lot of boxes in terms of drama, intrigue and scandal.
“This is a ‘did they, didn’t they’ story with labyrinthine complexity and it is very much a premium show,” said Hedges.

Dennis Oland, accused of his father's brutal murder, breaks his silence in new CBC true crime series
Filmmakers get intimate access to Oland, his family and his defence team as they prepare for retrial
Deborah Wainwright · Posted: Feb 12, 2020 2:01 PM ET
"If the police ever call you in to the police station … just to question you and interview you, don't trust them." It was a quick phone conversation, but one that offered me a lot of insight into what Dennis Oland had been going through over the last five years. "Don't trust a thing they say. Get a lawyer right away." It was 2016, almost a year since Dennis had been convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in one of Canada's most notorious maximum-security prisons. For five years, he hadn't spoken to anyone in the media. But he was talking to me.
_IGetMad_2500kbps_1280x720_1696059459833.jpg)
Dennis Oland shares his frustrations about the social media reaction towards his case. 1:00
The entire Oland family had been close-lipped since the day multimillionaire Richard Oland was found bludgeoned to death, lying face-down in a pool of blood in his office in historic uptown Saint John, N.B. The rules were simple: speak to no one, keep your head down, get through it together.
Because of that, the story had only been told from the outside. And if you asked an Oland, far from accurately. "This idea that there's investigative journalists out there that wanna … tell the truth … that certainly hasn't happened," says Dennis.
So we knew that what we had proposed — letting our cameras inside the Oland front lines — was a big ask. Why would they speak to me? What did I have that the others did not? I think the answer was simple: I'm "from away."
I'm from Vancouver, so prior to working on this film, the Oland name didn't mean much to me. But in the Maritimes, Oland is a very big name. For more than 150 years, the family has been brewing Moosehead beer there. So the murder of Richard Oland was a very big story. And when they arrested his son for the crime, it became huge. "Eyes are on you all the time," says Dennis. "I hear them whispering, 'That's the guy. He killed his father.'" The Oland murder was to become one of the most high-profile cases in Canadian history, and we got to follow the story in real time. It was an unprecedented opportunity.
Dennis Oland meets with his defence team (Seven Knots Media)
We met Dennis's defence counsel for the first time standing outside the appeal court in Fredericton. Dennis was still in prison. Two months later, we were sitting in his lawyer's office in Toronto recording our first interview. We had managed to persuade Dennis, his family and his defence team to give us intimate and exclusive access as they prepared for his retrial.
_Coincidences_2500kbps_1280x720_1694645315713.jpg)
The crown's case relied on coincidences says lawyer Alan Gold. 0:55
Telling the story of an ongoing criminal case was something I'd never done before. I knew of no other Canadian documentary that had attempted to do this. It came with tremendous responsibility. The Olands felt that most people had written Dennis off as guilty and that this series could be a way of getting their side of the story out.
But we all knew the rules. The series would report the facts — no matter how uncomfortable they may be for the people involved. They agreed, and I felt privileged. And a little bit scared. The challenge of objective truth-telling became clear as we began to interview people tearfully talking about the effect this case has had on their lives. They've lost a husband, a son, a grandfather, a dad.
If we were going to tell this story in a fair and balanced way, I knew I had to relocate to Saint John. And so, over the last three years, I spent more time in the Maritimes than I did in B.C. During that time, our production team talked our way into defence team meetings and followed investigators as they tracked unexplored leads. We called, requested, begged and cajoled, asking everyone from police and prosecutors to witnesses and journalists for their help in understanding this story. I can only tell the story I'm granted access to and so I'm very grateful to those who opened up.
The often unpredictable nature of our court system was one of the most significant challenges we faced. Motions are brought forward. New evidence has to be considered. All of this meant never knowing when the story we were following would come to its conclusion. And of course, when a case is ongoing, everyone involved is wary. In a criminal trial, the stakes couldn't be higher.
There are humans at the heart of the story, and every important piece of the puzzle cannot be covered in a 500-word news piece.
- Deborah Wainwright, The Oland MurderWe were there, with the camera rolling, as investigators uncovered new leads and the judge rendered important decisions. We drove with the accused to the courthouse to hear his verdict for a second time. It was a humbling opportunity.
While viewers may be split on their feelings about the verdict, I hope that our series encourages them to think critically about the coverage they see of any murder trial. There are humans at the heart of the story, and every important piece of the puzzle cannot be covered in a 500-word news piece.
