Paterson Won't Face Criminal Charges
New York Governor David Paterson will not face criminal charges for his role in a top aide's domestic violence case.
Retired Judge Judith Kaye released a report outlining tampering allegations against Paterson.
After the confrontation between the aide, David Johnson, and his then-girlfriend Sherr-una Booker last Halloween Paterson called Booker and later endorsed a press statement that said the incident was not violent.
Booker filed a police report saying Johnson choked her, threw her against a mirror and tried to rip her Halloween costume off. After the Paterson call, she did not show up for court, and the complaint was dropped.
Kaye’s report does, however, say that Paterson had inappropriate contact with Booker.
