A B.C. Supreme Court jury has watched shaky camera footage of a provincial legislature tour taken by a man accused of trying to set off bombs outside those same buildings less than a week later.

John Nuttall made a series of short videos in the leadup to Canada Day 2013, when he and his wife Amanda Korody allegedly dropped off three homemade pressure-cooker explosives in flower planters on the legislature lawn in Victoria.

In one of the videos, Nuttall pointed out various symbols inside the building, including a Star of David in stained glass he described disparagingly as a "Jewish symbol."

Nuttall and Korody were in Victoria at the time on a reconnaissance mission for their alleged terrorist plot — all part of an elaborate RCMP sting.

During the tour, Nuttall approached a large wall-mounted effigy of the provincial coat of arms and highlighted one of the design elements to a man he believed was a co-conspirator. He was actually an undercover officer.

"At the very top you see the crown, meaning that's who runs our country, the monarchy in Britain," Nuttall said in a hushed voice.

He then panned his hand-held camera down to a symbol of a setting sun after the tour guide told the group it represents B.C. as Canada's westernmost province.

"The sun here, that represents sun worship," countered Nuttall quietly, saying he'd read about the symbolism in a book.

When an English-accented actor arrived midway through the tour playing the character of Queen Victoria, Nuttall called out "long live the queen" before chuckling to himself.

Court has heard the videos were discovered on Nuttall and Korody's laptops, which were seized when the couple was arrested on July 1, 2013.

In all, the jury was shown about 30 videos that were deemed relevant by investigators, as well as nearly 1,000 pictures and hundreds of website visits.

Jurors previously heard that the laptops also contained recordings of the Qur'an, along with extremist literature — such as Adolf Hitler's book "Mein Kampf" and "The Anarchist's Cookbook" — as well as files with instructions on building and setting off explosives.

Police computer expert Cpl. Barry Salt has testified that while forensic analysis can outline computer activity in great detail, it cannot determine who was on a machine creating a file or visiting a website, for example.

"Anyone with access to one of these devices would be able to conduct an Internet search and download a video," he said.

Nuttall and Korody have each pleaded not guilty to four terrorism-related charges.
