Later in that trial the defence admitted the shirt and jacket seized in the closet were the same ones Oland is wearing in the video but Miller is asking questions to Fredericks as though the issue is uncertain.

Miller also interested in comparisons Fredericks was not asked to make on Oland’s shoes. Police found no blood or stains on shoes seized at Oland’s home and so didn’t care to match any of them to security footage. More tunnel vision by police is the implication.

Defence lawyer James McConnell suggests this is a good time for the trial to break for lunch. Justice Terrence Morrison agrees, "as riveting as it is," he says, prompting laughter. Back at 1:30 p.m.

Afternoon session of Day 25 of Dennis #Oland 's murder retrial is about to get underway. Crown's next witness, Anthony Shaw, is seated at the back of the courtroom. Although he's a Crown witness, he's important to Oland's defence.

Shaw previously testified he heard noises coming from Richard Oland's office on the night he was killed around 7:30 p.m. - around the same time Dennis Oland was captured on security video across town shopping in Rothesay

Crown prosecutor Jill Knee is questioning Shaw. He used to work at Printing Plus - a business located downstairs from Richard Oland's investment firm office at 52 Canterbury St. Shaw says he worked at that location for about 5 years and the previous location also about 5 years,

What did you do? Nothing - John and I just looked st each other and kept working. I owned a building like that myself. It sounded like someone moving furniture around or something like that.

Shaw says his best guess is the noises happened around 7:30. Dennis Oland had left his father’s office around 6:30.

Shaw says he was in and out of the building all evening between 6 and 9 having smoke breaks but saw no one come out the front door. At around 8 someone, a young man, showed up asking to send a fax.

Shaw says he went outside about 4 or 5 times between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. to smoke cigarettes. Says he didn't see anyone else entering or exiting the door up to Oland's office

Defence lawyer Alan Gold is handling cross-examination. After you heard the noises, did you hear any other noises? No. Clear the noises came from Oland's office? Yes. You've heard bands practising on 3rd floor before? Yes. Hear any that night? No.

Knee asks about the weather that evening which Shaw says was clear. Sunset in Saint John that day was around 9:14 so there would be few visual clues in daylight between 6:30 and 7:30 to distinguish time in that way.

"No further questions, Mr. Justice," announces Gold. "Nothing on redirect," says Crown prosecutor Jill Knee. Anthony Shaw is excused. Surprisingly short time on the stand for a key witness in the case

Crown resumes playing videotaped testimony of forensic video analyst Grant Fredericks from Oland's first trial in 2015. Oland's then-defence lawyer Gary Miller is cross-examining him.

On the tape former Oland defence lawyer Gary Miller tries unsuccessfully to get Fredericks to comment on similarities in creases in the “crotch area” of pants Dennis Oland wore the day before the murder and the day after during his police interview.

Miller was making the point then - as the defence continues to make today - that red stained items that might implicate Oland were looked at closely and unstained items that suggest innocence like shoes and pants worn the day of the murder were ignored.

Court has heard forensic examination of the car found no blood. Police did not ask Fredericks to provide any analysis regarding the car.

It was the defence who documented the car in all of the videos - a strategy that appeared to backfire at the end of the trial. All the video revealed a third trip Oland made to his father’s office the day of the murder when he had only told police about two.

He compared Dennis Oland's Volkswagen Golf City with various July 6, 2011 security videos of a silver car near his father's office, passing the King St clock, at Irving in Rothesay and the next morning at Canadian Tire in east SJ, court hears

Fredericks was retained by Saint John police to conduct the forensic video analysis of the car on July 6, 2018, according to an agreed statement of facts attached to the supplemental report. That's exactly 7 years after Richard Oland was killed.
