Walsh telling jurors that they will assess the credibility of Dennis Oland’s evidence the same way they do for any other witness: they may believe some, none, or all of his statement to police and/or his testimony.
Dennis Oland agreed with Crown prosecutor PJ Veniot that he does not mention in the police statement that he visited his father’s office three times on July 6, 2011, which is the day before the body was found in the Far End Corporation office at 52 Canterbury Street in uptown Saint John.
