Dennis Oland's second-degree murder trial is continuing on Tuesday morning in Saint John as the defence is expected to call him to testify this week.
The defence team spent Monday attempting to dismiss the significance of the Crown's evidence that human activity on Richard Oland's office computer stopped minutes after his son came to visit him on the day police believe he was killed.
Although the last trace of human interaction with the victim's computer was at 5:39 p.m., there are several computer activities that can't be detected, said Geoffrey Fellows, who travelled from the United Kingdom to testify.
Fellows, a forensic computer expert, said on Monday that Richard Oland could have been using his computer "for hours" after Dennis Oland left his office on July 6, 2011.

Fellows looked at June 13 to 17, 2011, and found human activity on all three of Oland's office computers on those days ended between 3:05 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
