Acquited of his father's murder!

 Denis Oland was acquited in july 2019 at his second trial so he is free for the first time in 8 years!  The trial lasted 4 months and the judgment is 146 pages long.  A jury had found him guilty in 2015but the murder of Richard Oland raises more questions than answers.  Blood was splattered all over his office, as you would expect since he was stabbed 46 times.  Dennis Oland's expensive lifestyle was dependent on loans granted by his father ( including 500,000 $ for his divorce) .  Richard Oland would have been ready to grant an additionnal loan if it were guaranteed by a mortgage on Denis's house.  But that house was already mortgaged - a fact Richard didn't know.  Denis proved he was shopping at the time of the murder.  Judge Morisson (of the Court of Queen's bench of New Brunswick concludes there is a reasonable doubt of Denis's guilt.  The full judgement is available on http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/dennis-oland-not-guilty-murder-retrial-decision-1.5216556
