There was Peter Faist, Laura Miller’s common-law spouse, testifying as a prosecution witness at her criminal trial and that of her former boss, David Livingston. The two are pleading not guilty to charges of deliberately destroying government records about the gas plants controversy that haunted much of former premier Dalton McGuinty’s last years in office. The government had cancelled two plants in Mississauga and Oakville, though construction on one was well underway. Smith sat in the back row of the Old City Hall courtroom and didn’t participate. “There’s nothing unusual about it,” Lemon said of the agreement, and apologized to Faist.
