NY gov could face charge over World Series tickets

Associated Press Writer
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – Gov. David Paterson could face a criminal charge over his testimony surrounding tickets he secured last year from the New York Yankees for the opening game of the World Series.
The state’s former chief judge, acting as a special counsel, called Paterson’s testimony “inaccurate and misleading” and has asked a district attorney to consider a perjury investigation.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that Paterson, who rose to office in 2008 when Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned amid a prostitution scandal, will ever be charged, though. Former prosecutors say perjury is a notoriously difficult charge to prove, if it’s pursued at all.
“If everyone in that Capitol who lies is going to be charged with perjury, the district attorney better hire a lot more prosecutors,” said David Grandeau, former head of the state’s lobbying commission and a widely respected investigator of misconduct in a capital that’s earned a national reputation for it.

Nashville Escorts: Abandoned Homes Draw Crime, Say Neighbors

25 08 2010

Some neighbors Channel 4 News spoke with said they realize there are abandoned homes across the city, but they said what’s happened there should be reason enough for the city do something now.
“I’m really afraid to death to live here,” said North Nashville resident Emma Pillow.
She and her son live on 15th Avenue off Buchanan Street. Too often, they said, they’re seeing abandoned homes become crime scenes.
Four women have been found killed in four different vacant properties in the last year and a half.
“This house here had a body found in it about a year and a half ago. That got some neighbors disturbed,” said Greg Pillow. “A while later they found another body at this house here.”
Neighbors said the rundown homes do nothing but attract drugs dealers, prostitutes and violence. With problems getting worse, they’ve organized a neighborhood group with the hope of being heard.

Jeffrey Poole, 39, faces four counts of rape, four counts of official misconduct, two counts of sexual battery, one count of patronizing prostitution and one count of attempting to patronize prostitution. He was arrested Friday afternoon and was being held on $200,000 bail.
“There is absolutely no reason to believe that anyone else was involved with him in these acts,” Metro police spokesman Don Aaron said. “This is one individual who we believe severely betrayed the trust bestowed upon him by this police department and the citizens we serve.

Metro sex crimes detectives began their investigation in late April after a 27-year-old prostitute reported that Poole, in uniform and on duty as a South Precinct patrolman, stopped her as she walked the streets just south of downtown, patted her down to the point of fondling her and appeared to be making verbal propositions.

Detectives later interviewed three more women, two with prostitution histories, who said Poole had sexual contact with them in 2009 when he was on duty as a patrolman in the East Precinct.
