LIVINGSTON FOUND GUILTY IN GAS PLANT TRIAL

TORONTO — A former chief of staff in the Ontario premier’s office has been found guilty of deliberately destroying emails and other records in an attempt to avoid scrutiny in the cancelled gas plants controversy.
David Livingston was convicted Friday of attempted mischief to data and unauthorized use of a computer.
Livingston used a “scorched earth” process to destroy documents on 20 hard drives in the premier’s office despite being warned that he was obliged to preserve records, Lipson said.
