The cross-examination of Const. Stephen Davidson, the lead investigator, was postponed to allow for Frederick's testimony.
Fredericks, who was a broadcaster and a police officer, is a forensic video analyst and is an instructor largely for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States.
He has been hired by the Crown.
Dennis Oland's murder trial heard on Friday that he was warned several times during his 2.5-hour police statement that whatever he said could and would be verified by video surveillance.
Dennis Oland — who was the last known person to see his father alive, Richard Oland — told Const. Stephen Davidson he was wearing the same pants and shoes he had on during the taped interview, a dress shirt and a navy blazer.
Video surveillance submitted into evidence shows Dennis Oland was wearing a brown jacket earlier that day.
Richard Oland's secretary also testified earlier in the trial that she saw the accused wearing a brown jacket when he visited the office.
By the end of the interview, Dennis Oland was deemed a suspect and informed search warrants would be executed against him.
