Probe cites two major incidents in D A probe
Special District Attorney investigators led by Edward F. Gerber found about 16 other incidents besides the Patricia Adams affair involving the Onondaga County DA's office. Sgt. Sardino said two major incidents emerged and noted possible abuse of office if prosecutors pursue the matter. Gerber said the governor initiated the inquiry and his office did not start it. He defended the DA's office and described the probe as limited to isolated, unrelated incidents ending with Holcombe's guilty plea.
