Brigitte Vey, the wife of Curtis Vey, appeared last week. She was the only non-police witness scheduled to take the stand for the Crown.

On at least four occasions, Brigitte Vey planted devices to record her husband. The Crown argued that the iPod hidden on July 1, 2013 recorded Vey and Nicholson discussing the alleged murder plot.
