Livingston guilty, Miller not guilty in gas plant coverup

Judge Timothy R. Lipson has found senior Dalton McGuinty aide David Livingston guilty of mischief and unlawful use of a computer in the notorious gas plant cover up scandal. His assistant, Laura Miller, was found not guilty. The Crown contended the accused had illegally erased emails from government computers to hide what had been said and done by the Liberal government ministers and staff on the eve of the 2010 general election. In convicting Mr Livingston, 65, Judge Lipson said the former chief of staff to former premier McGuinty was a sophisticated individual who knew exactly what he was doing.
