KAWARTHA LAKES-It was an emotional day in a Lindsay courtroom. Friends and family of 45 year old Gregory Livingstone were there to support the man accused of killing his father and setting his house on fire.
Gregory Livingstone appeared visibly upset when he entered the prisoners box. He was crying and rocking back and forth as a Duty Counsel lawyer consulted with him. Livingstone is charged with first degree murder in the death of his father John as well as a charge of arson. Â His aunt and a couple of uncles as well as a friend were all in the courtroom.
