Miller and Livingston are pleading not guilty to mischief to data and unlawful use of a computer, the charges stemming from their alleged destruction of gas plants documents. Hutchison’s position is that whatever Miller and Livingston may have deleted, they were entitled to delete — in particular, he said, emails that were either transient or political. One of the exhibits at trial is a two-volume set of emails retrieved by the Ontario Provincial Police via search warrants or production orders. Virtually all of the emails in evidence at trial were recovered forensically by the Ontario Provincial Police. Most bear at the top of the email the tell-tale description that they were found in various “sync folders,” the place where some otherwise deleted emails go to hide.
