Canuck caught up in alleged family murder conspiracy
Linden Vey is standing by his mom as his dad faces trial.

When Linden Vey called the past two seasons the worst of his career, he was speaking only about his experiences on the ice.
But when you learn about his story, the one that has engulfed his family since 2013, it becomes impossible to separate what's unfolded off it.
As Vey has struggled to establish his NHL career, he has been balancing far bigger issues and he's hoping his family will soon get closure.
On May 24, his father Curtis Vey is to go on trial with co-accused Angela Nicholson. The pair have been charged with conspiracy to murder their spouses.

k im just not going to respond to your #### anymore because i have better things to do like #### my model girlfriend rather then try to convince people like you of commonly held hockey knowledge.
As a kid, that'd be tough to hear and to endure. Regardless of his struggles in the NHL, this is far more serious and it's amazing he's been able to keep himself focused as much as he has.
I wish Linden all the best in this mess, and am counting on the authorities to do their due diligence in the matter.
hard to understand why two people would choose this route to try and get together - they clearly did not think of the odds of both of them pulling off and then nobody seeing the obvious when they trned up at the county fair together.....

Linden Vey has stood with his mother throughout this terrible ordeal. Sentencing still to come.
A Saskatchewan judge handed down three-year prison sentences Friday for Curtis Vey and Angela Nicholson, lovers who were convicted of plotting to murder their spouses.
Vey, 52, and Nicholson, 51, are both banned from owning firearms. The judge also ordered them to submit DNA samples and pay a $400 victim surcharge.
"Why good people do bad things is a mystery to us all," said Justice Martel Popescul in Court of Queen's Bench in Prince Albert.
In June, a jury deliberated for close to 30 hours before convicting Vey and Nicholson of two counts of conspiracy to commit murder — one charge for their own spouse and a separate count for each other's spouse.
Outside the courtroom Friday, Crown prosecutor Lori O'Connor said she sought a six-year sentence after reviewing cases from B.C. and Ontario with similar facts, adding those cases came with sentences between 3½ years to seven years.
"Part of the reason for the sentencing as high as they are in cases like this for general denunciation and deterrence is to put out there that despite how unhappy your marriage is it's not OK to plan to kill your spouse," O'Connor said.
