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.
