Lawyers wrapped up their closing arguments Thursday in the retrial of Dennis Oland on a charge of second-degree murder in the 2011 death of his wealthy father in Saint John.
It is human nature to "distort the facts in order to establish a proposition of guilt," he said, but the Crown is asking the judge to make inferences from the lack of direct evidence. The Crown has suggested the younger Oland's financial problems were a motive, but Gold said that is speculation. The trial heard that a brown jacket worn by Dennis Oland when he visited his father had tiny bloodstains and Richard Oland's DNA on it. Oland told police he had been wearing a navy blazer on that day, and the brown jacket was taken to be dry cleaned the day after Richard Oland was found dead in his Saint John office.
