| Description | Cites lack of research on his ties to inmate
By Andrea Estes, Globe Staff | October 6, 2006
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Deval L. Patrick yesterday apologized for not fully disclosing the extent of his advocacy on behalf of convicted rapist Benjamin LaGuer, as he struggled to move past the biggest controversy of his campaign.
``I apologize to anyone who feels we didn't come forward with all the facts," Patrick said at a campaign event in Worcester.
Patrick told reporters he should have researched his involvement in the case before offering statements over the past week that minimized his role. ``We screwed up in terms of how we have handled doing the homework before we answered questions about this issue, no question about that," he said. ``And I take the responsibility for that." |
