The New Brunswick Court of Appeal set aside the initial verdict in 2016 and ordered a new trial. Oland has pleaded not guilty in connection with the July 2011 death of Richard Oland.

The battered body of the well-known Saint John businessman, who was 69, was found in his office in uptown Saint John.

That process will continue until a group of 14 jurors and two alternates has been selected.

Family members, including Oland’s wife Lisa and mother Connie, were once again on hand in court.
