Office of the District Attorney P. David Soares In response to the request for the Office of the Albany County District Attorney to review the actions of Governor Spitzer and his staff, District Attorney P. David Soares made the following statement this afternoon: “The Public Integrity Unit of the Office of the Albany County District Attorney has a process that must be respected when accusations of misconduct are made. We are currently gathering relevant information from all involved parties including the materials that led the Attorney General and the Inspector General to conclude that no laws were broken. “In adhering to our process, we will conduct a dispassionate review of all relevant information. All decisions must be supported by credible evidence. It must be remembered that while certain conduct may appear unethical or even immoral, the only issue for our consideration is to determine whether the conduct is of such regard that criminal liability can be assessed. “I ask that this course of action be respected. To make any public comment before a legal determination is made would contribute to the current climate of political theater and compromise our analysis. ### For further information contact: Heather Streeter Orth
