Who has been reporting on the case since Richard Oland's body was discovered? Who tracked down the details? Who interviewed the witnesses? Who was cited in the court proceedings? Who knows the story? No-one but Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon.
On July 6, 2011, Richard Oland, scion of the Moosehead brewing family, was bludgeoned to death in his Saint John office. In a shocking turn, the multimillionaire’s only son, Dennis, was arrested for second-degree murder. Found guilty by a jury in 2015, Dennis Oland successfully appealed his conviction and was retried in 2018 and 2019.
Following the defence’s arguments that any jury would be unfairly biased against Oland and a botched jury-selection process, a mistrial was declared. Then it was dramatically announced that the retrial would be conducted by a judge without a jury — a rare event in Canadian law for a murder trial.
In this new updated edition, Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon takes readers inside the final stages of one of Canada’s most gripping murder trials, including the issues with the original police investigation, Oland’s appeal and his subsequent appearance at the Supreme Court, new evidence and witnesses brought forward in the second trial, and the sensational verdict.
The definitive account of a series of trials for a horrific crime, Shadow of Doubt lays bare the tribulations of a prominent family and the inner workings of the justice system that led to Dennis Oland's contentious conviction, retrial, and acquittal.
