Statistics and specifics on crime in America.
According to court papers released Friday, disbarred lawyer Carlos Perez-Olivo also told investigators that the day of his wife's killing, Nov. 18, 2006, was the other woman's birthday.
Perez-Olivo, who lives in Chappaqua on the same cul-de-sac as the Clintons, was arrested in December in what a prosecutor called a chilling "execution" of his wife, Peggy, more than a year earlier.
He has pleaded not guilty and is being held on $1 million bail. The papers filed by the district attorney's office were released after a brief session in Westchester County Court. Perez-Olivo, his hands cuffed behind him, did not speak.
He contends his 55-year-old wife was killed by an assailant who forced their car off a dark road near Chappaqua and shot her in the head and him in the abdomen. He has suggested the killer was perhaps hired by a dissatisfied client.
Prosecutors have never commented on a motive for the killing, and Lucien Chalfen, spokesman for District Attorney Janet DiFiore, would not comment Friday about the released evidence.
The statements came when Perez-Olivo was interviewed by police 11 days after the shooting, the documents indicate.
Perez-Olivo told police he also had other "small" affairs and his wife didn't know of the long affair with the Georgia woman. He also admitted he "made a hell of a lot more money than I said on my taxes."
Perez-Olivo had been disbarred three months before the shooting for refusing to return unearned funds to clients.
Perez-Olivo's lawyer, Robert Buckley, insisted Friday that the couple was happily married and said affairs should have no bearing on the case.
At the time of the killing, a Clinton spokesman said the couple were "saddened" at their neighbor's death. The shooting had no apparent effect on security at the Clinton home.

See all 57 CommentsIt must be Bill''s fault!
You know I''ve hardly seen a word on CBS about the COP in Chicago being investigated for the possible murder of his third wife, and disappearnce of his fourth...who was barely 23 years old!
You''re reporting is really starting to SUCK!
Oh.., except for Jefferson%u2019s affair with Sally Hemmings, ...OK the 2nd worst.
I%u2019m sure glad no other presidents had affairs because that would be really, really, terrible!
I''m soooo upset at this corporate news media, truly wants GOP in power and nothing more. We need a different choice in media in this country!!!!
D.a.r.n that Bill Clintion!!
Why does it matter that they lived next to the Clinton''s? And maybe their security system was good enough, or SHOCKER neither of them plans on killing the other... (not saying this man is necessarily guilty not knowing the details of the case)

They picked on Bush of course.
I was being sarcastic. It''s just my way of making fun of conservatives.
YEP, JUST HAD TO BE.....
PS - That''s my way of making fun of bedwetting liberals.

And Bush''s affair with Condi Rice, and Reagan''s having two or three wives, and.....

Way to be consistent. Can''t go one day without insulting liberals, can you? Even on an article that really, when you remove the hyperbole of the media, has nothing to do with the Clintons?
The media is a true enemy of Democrats and works tirelessly to keep the GOP in power!!!!
Posted by Agarwal1
Why?, Because there is no "Liberal Media".
The Media is owned by large corporations.
Large corporations always have been, and always will be, conservative.
If Bush were my neighbor, I''''d make it a gay affair in honor of Karl and George.

Maybe they should get Clinton to be his mentor?

Same reason Bush'' name was mentioned over and over in the Libby case, it sells news to morons.
Thank you, that is a relief.:)

Posted by jowand
Er, no, it''s not quite comparable. Bush was mentioned over and over again in the Libby case because Libby worked for Cheney, Bush''s VP, and the matter related to a serious national security issue. Bush himself spoke about bringing the wrong-doers to justice, only to flip-flop on it when it came to actually doing anything about it. The CBS story above is about a neighbor to Clinton and has absolutely nothing to do with them and does not pertain to national security.
Do you REALLY think that ANY of the other news stations ACTUALLY don''t compromise their product?
... oops, dig that head a bit deeper in the sand, I see a bit of your chin there! HAHAHA!
Sometimes the press prints such EMBARRESSING DRIVEL, you have to wonder what they are thinking!!
Oooh, I just hate those Clintons so much!
CBS...you used to be a highly respected news gathering organization. You were Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather%u2026WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?
You are now floundering just slightly above the ABC Cutesy Pie News and the Faux News.
SHAME ON YOU!
Just when I thought American journalism had sunk to its'' lowest level, we find that there is no nadir.
I hope the Clintons sue the writer of this article, as well as any one who published it, maybe then Hillary will be so rich that we don''t have to worry about her being "for sale"...
All Democrats should avoid living in any place whose name contains these letters...

Benazir Bhutto @ around 6:13 she mentions that Bin Laden was killed.
CBS pray tell us more about who Carlos Perez-Olivo is and how he is important to the nation and why we should waste our time reading this garbage.
