An RCMP officer who oversaw an undercover terrorism investigation in B.C. says he didn't know all the details about the case.
John Nuttall and his wife Amanda Korody were convicted by a jury in June of planning to set off homemade pressure-cooker bombs at the B.C. legislature grounds on Canada Day in 2013.
Their lawyers are now arguing they were entrapped by police.
B.C. Supreme Court heard Monday that undercover officers had been working with the pair for months when Insp. Stephen Corcoran was put in charge of monitoring the command team in May 2013.
Corcoran says he was told about many aspects of the case, including that Nuttall's plans — which included launching rockets at the legislature building — were grandiose and had very little action behind them.
But the inspector testified he wasn't told that Nuttall, a recent convert to Islam, had asked an undercover officer posing as a jihadist extremist to provide him with spiritual guidance.
Corcoran says he doesn't recall having any conversations with undercover officers about how the investigation would end.
