How Dennis Oland (probably) Got Away With Murder

6000 per month and still struggling to make ends meet - dang

good thing that he got off, what a ridiculous investigation, seems like a sjw type jury convicted him

46:15 LMAO the Canadian version of Mutt and Jeff is literally Angel Cop and Saint Cop 😭💀
"I'm really Sorry aboot that aye,
I'm the nice cop, and this is my partner...
he's slightly less nice but he brought Tim Hortons." 😭😭

0:13 how did you know I was Canadian ?!

I'm from Saint John. I was 14 when he was sentenced to life and 18 when he was acquitted. My dad knew Dennis. Everyone's dad knew Dennis. This was such a weird moment that put our little town in the national spotlight for a minute. Now, we don't talk about it at all. We all know it was probably him, but none of us would dare to say it out loud. The one thing everyone will talk about, though, is the mishandling of the crime scene from the police force. They police used the bathroom before testing it for evidence! Still so crazy to think about in hindsight. Great video!

I gotta say, if I was on that Jury what would've really bothered me more than anything is the blood evidence.
You have a veteran homicide detective saying "It's the bloodiest scene I've ever witnessed", and yet we literally have a video of the guy walking out the front door of the building wearing the exact clothes in the exact same state he entered with after supposedly creating such a scene. And no, cleaning up in a bathroom sink doesn't come anywhere close to solving that problem, while just writing it off as him avoiding blood spatter through some miracle feels pretty "unreasonable"...

What was the theory of getting rid of the phone?

Police botched this from the beginning... That's the biggest problem of this affair... You don't need top notch lawyers when police doesn't cover other possibilities, contaminate the scene without possibility of anything, don't even try the clothes of their MAIN SUSPECT for blood or even minor deterioration...
It was stupidly handled, any good police work would have removed the doubts.
Your populism about "buh he waw wrich!" Is the worse of your assertions from all the assertions you made in all your video, just stroking at the appendage of your viewers so they can feel relieved that they know they are right. (Oh, yes please, touch me there again...)
Well, you were never a surprise on this matter to begin with.

You really have to stop with this "it feels unnatural".

It doesn't feel unnatural. It feels like it wouldn't be a good story in a movie or in a series.
It's perfectly natural.
You really should go out more often.

did the crime. didn't talk to police. not guilty. take notes everyone

Constables? Christmas puds? "i'm sorry i thought this was 'aMurica"

56:51 lol

Canada hates holding people responsible for their actions

He said he wore a navy blazer but is on camera with brown. slip of the tongue or lying to omit evidence?

1:04:02 This graphic seems like a massive over-simplification. Surely it's not THIS black-and-white.

I'm only halfway in, so maybe there's a bombshell still to be shared, but I think you're putting way too much emphasis on the whole "Dennis isn't asking for more information" point. He's probably just letting police do their jobs and thus thinks by simply answering their questions, he's helping find his father's killer.

I used to buy Moosehead beer in the states and loved it. I went to Canada on vacation and asked around for it and they had no idea what I was talking about. It seems it was pretty much all exported. I tried some a few years back and it is NOT the same. It has a good taste but severely watered down.

Yeah... he very likely did it, but the cops fumbled what should have been an open and shut case. Not checking the sink, pants, and shoes, as well as that godawful interview.

God I’m addicted to this channel right now. Phenomenal stuff.

Ok about halfway through the video and I much prefer my country of America's approach to asking for an attorney 😬😂 For our police it's like kryptonite, their hands are tied and the interview is over at that point.

I'd be as pleased to see Dennis Oland and his interrogators in prison, one for murder and one for reckless violation of constitutional rights. These imbecilic pig charlatans shouldn't be allowed to straddle the line like this. They're playing with human lives. Keith Copeland deserves to be in prison, full stop.

If you're Dennis Oland, the minute you hear the cop be like "uhh I have no idea what exactly happened to your father, other guys do that and I'm not filled in on the details at all", if you have a semblance of a brain you immediately call bullshit unless you're a complete imbecile or just scared and guilty. it's an absurd claim. Oh they didn't give you any information on the details of the case before they sent you in to question me? It's ABSOLUTELY imbecilic.

So Richard Oland was definitely a fucking prick right.

Well done Mr. Orchard.

Honestly, while the facts of the case seem to point very strongly at Dennis, you can't really say the verdict that came back is all that crazy. The police simply did a VERY bad job of this one.

40:54 Uhh… Yeah, in America, the Police are supposed to stop asking questions as soon as a suspect says they want to speak to an attorney. They don’t do that in Canada, eh? That’s messed up! Like, what’s even the point of telling someone that they don’t have to answer questions until after they have been afforded the opportunity to talk to a lawyer first, and then, when they respond to your reminder by informing you that they WOULD like to choose the option where they exercise their rights as a citizen, just as you told them that they had the right to do, you just blow right past their request and start interrogating them even harder than you were BEFORE you asked them if they wanted to consult with legal counsel? And the Police can use the fact that he wants a lawyer against him, by browbeating him with the appearance of impropriety and the troubling implications of his (correct) decision to exercise the right that the Police just made a big to-do out of explicitly informing him that he has the option of doing, putting on a whole song and dance routine to perform the Canadian equivalent of the Miranda warning? 😳🤯
Wtf Canada? That’s absolutely barbaric! I don’t care who this guy might have killed, if he asks to speak with an attorney, you STOP ASKING QUESTIONS. Seriously, what is the point of reminding someone of their rights, if you have no intention of allowing them to do the thing that you just asked them if they wanted to do before they respond to further questions? I thought Canada was so morally superior to their ignorant backwards neighbors to the South? What’s up with that, O Canada? 🤔

This is the smartest person I’ve ever seen in a police interrogation!

All my biggest questions are related to what's on this interrogators head. Is that a tinfoil hat, a racoon carcass, or a 90s boyband hairstyle? I need answers

Known => knowin’

57:02 lmfao

This guy, “let me give you every motive I have to murder my father”

@1:01:02 I wonder if the family knew he did it just also hated the father? Id love to know father's relationship with rest of family

Just going off this video it is kind of funny that it ends with a "forest for the trees" line when you could say the same thing about being so focused on the mobile phone tower. I find it far harder to beleive you could bludeon someone to death and only get three small spots of blood on you than I do that your phone could ping off a cell tower that it normally wouldn't.

an interested loan of that size would mean that his dad would eventually have claim to all his assets until his death. the detective should have said "was it an interested loan? sir you are under arrest for murder"

Couldn't he have just taken his jacket/clothes off before killing his father?

allegedly

The no forced entry thing always bothers me lol . Has anyone ever heard of knocking ? Once the door is open jusy a little you can get inside without any sign of “forced entry”

I appreciate your introduction to the video and how you properly approach these subjects with much needed nuance and insight thats lacking from other similar videos. However I wanna note that you mention that, for most cases, we'd agree with the jury's decision, after both sides have had the chance to give it their all; but thats just it- thats only if both sides have that chance, which they usually dont. Over 90% of cases in the US end in guilty please without ever going to trial, largely due to the fact that most of the accused dont have the money to get a decent lawyer, other than a public defender. Because most PDs have up to 150-200 cases weekly*, they tend to push their clients to take guilty pleas even if they claim innocence because the PD doesnt have the time to go to court or really put their mind to combing thru the case and proving their client's innocence. Overall, the system is rigged in the favor of the prosecution; prosecutors, DAs, and police have much more robust networks, connections, time, and money, resulting in their inevitable upper hand when it comes to almost every case that goes through the American justice system. The reality is that "both sides giving it their all" and having an equal, fair chance in court doesnt happen unless the defendant has a good lawyer, which only occurs in a very small percentage of cases. Personally, I think that when people believe what I believe - that the justice system is rigged against defendants and that most cases result in unfair convictions - we're *right*. Even if ykure right that, when it comes to jury trials, if we were faced with a randkm sample, we would largely agree with the outcomes, seemingly disproving our belief that the justice system is broken, the reality is that only a *small portion of cases are jury trials, so that would be a completely unfair sample compared to the justice system as a whole.

57:03 my thoughts exactly

These are the worst interrogators I've ever seen.

Having seen other interrogations on this channel, this one stuck out like a sore thumb!

Red shirt cop is TERRIBLE at this

he reminds me of the guy from fargo lol

I came across this interrogation somewhere else. It was long, but this detective at one point said asking for a lawyer was just something you see on tv.🤔 That comment sent me digging.

I live near this community & it was a huge deal at the time. We are typically a very quiet, low crime part of the world. These types of murders are almost unheard of. It's interesting to see how the police do things here, compared to the usual American law enforcement cases. I believe the reason the police did such a bad job on this case is because they are extremely not used to dealing with delicate crime scenes or anything close to that. The majority of the community believed he was innocent, but now, even 15 years later, there are no suspects. No matter who did it, they are definitely still out there living free. It's as if the case went cold after he was acquitted

The justice system is pretty broken, but it’s not because of the existence of “reasonable doubt”

Its broken because Judges aren’t held accountable enough, neither are police and prosecutors and police are incentivized to work together against the defense which leads to plenty of abuses of power being done.

I’m literally 3 minutes in, but it’s not just the large exceptions that are evidence of our justice system being broken, it’s the ones that fall through the cracks that happen to people consider “undesirable” that really tell you how affective the justice system is.

I mean, the justice system is broken. They’re literally letting criminals out with no bail.
