The NY State Police has been accused of trying to interfere in a domestic violence case brought against an aide to Gov. Paterson. The domestic violence happened in NYC, and the NYPD has jurisdiction, not the NYSP. But the governor's aide asked the NYSP to help him out and call the woman who made the allegations.
In the past few weeks, this story has taken many turns. The commissioner of the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services, Denise O'Donnell resigned, saying she was misled by the head of the NYSP, Harry Corbitt, about its involvement in this case.
Now the Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is investigating. The New York Times is reporting today that Gov. Paterson had asked two state workers to also call the woman. When the domestic violence victim was in court, she complained about being harassed by the NYSP.
This whole story is outrageous. More to come.
