Fog Blog Dennis Oland Retrial Log:

THE JURY IS NOW FINALIZED FOR THE DENNIS OLAND RETRIAL THAT IS SCHEDULED TO START ON NOV. 6TH.........Dennis Oland's retrial for second-degree murder in the killing of his multimillionaire father more than seven years ago will begin in Saint John on Nov. 6.The date was announced at the courthouse Wednesday after the final juror was selected, ending a three-day process that was scheduled to take two weeks.A total of 16 jurors have been sworn in — nine women and seven men .Oland, 50, a financial adviser, was convicted of second-degree murder in December 2015, but the New Brunswick Court of Appeal overturned his conviction in October 2016 and ordered a new trial, citing an error in the trial judge's instructions to the jury.

Oland has again pleaded not guilty in the bludgeoning death of his father, prominent businessman Richard Oland, 69, on or about July 6, 2011.Normally, juries have only 12 members, but Oland's retrial is expected to be a lengthy one at an estimated four months, which increases the chances of someone getting sick or being unable to serve for other reasons.
