Manhattan Adult Entertainment: NY gov faces legal minefield in conduct inquiries

Legal experts said the attorney general’s office is likely investigating whether Paterson or his aides directed the state police to pressure Booker to drop the case.
Several high ranking state police officials have already been questioned. Some have been asked to come back for second interviews.
Separately, the state’s Public Integrity Commission has accused Paterson of violating the law by soliciting free tickets to the 2009 World Series and then lying to investigators about his intention to pay for them.
The case was referred to the Albany County prosecutor’s office and the attorney general for possible criminal investigation.
Paterson has declined to answer questions about his conduct, but has insisted he never abused his office. He represented Harlem for 20 years in the state Senate before becoming lieutenant governor in 2006, then governor in 2008, when Eliot Spitzer stepped down during a prostitution scandal.
