PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — A Saskatchewan man found guilty along with his lover of plotting to kill each other’s spouse is challenging his conviction.

Curtis Vey’s lawyer has filed an appeal that argues the judge failed to properly explain to jurors what was required to find Vey guilty of conspiracy.

The appeal also says the Crown failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Vey would have followed through with the plan.

Vey and Angela Nicholson were sentenced earlier this month to three years each in prison.
