VANCOUVER — The lawyer for a man targeted in an elaborate undercover police sting says the RCMP's pervasive involvement during every stage of the operation makes them guilty of facilitating a terrorist act.
John Nuttall and his common-law wife Amanda Korody were found guilty last year of planting what they believed were pressure-cooker bombs at the British Columbia legislature.
Marilyn Sandford told the court that Mounties aided and abetted terrorist activity by helping the pair design, construct and transport the homemade explosives.
She says it doesn't matter that they knew the devices were fake and wouldn't explode.
Defence lawyers are presenting closing arguments this week in a hearing to determine if Nuttall and Korody were entrapped by police into carrying out their bomb plot on Canada Day in 2013.
Crown is expected to begin presenting its final arguments on Wednesday.
