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.

- Wow -- the media really will stoop to anything to tie the Clintons into scandal -- what the hell has this story got to do with the Clintons? Are they suggesting that Bill''s indiscretions are contagious to those who live in close proximity?

- Both the Democrats and Republicans are to blame for ignoring the rights of innocent law abiding citizens in this country in favor of the criminally insane who roam freely. Until more of us are honest enough to admit this and demand we do something about it, innocent men, women and children will continue to be murdered needlessly and I''ll just bet the former President who COULD have done something about it and didn''t is glad it wasn''t him who was killed. I can say the same thing for both Bushes, enough!

- The disease that Clinton has is so bad that it is catching. Now his neighbor has caught it. The rest of the neighborhood will go next. The wails from the loyal herd is being heard all over this blog. Face the facts and admit it, the guy likes gals in quantity. At least the young boys are safe this year.

- Allow me a sick joke, the letters "Chappaqu..." and Democrats now has a history.
All Democrats should avoid living in any place whose name contains these letters... - Reply to this comment
- Wow, someone at AP hates the Clintons so much that they have to link their name with this story? How about Son of Sam? (they lived in the same state)John Wayne Gacy? {Chicago is only two hours'' flight from NY), Jeffery Dahmer''s neighbor?
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"... - Reply to this comment
- And this story relates to the Clintons because...
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.
