Perez-Olivo's statements came during an interview with New Castle police in 2006, 11 days after the shooting, the documents indicate.
Perez-Olivo, 59, is accused of killing his wife, Peggy Perez-Olivo, with a pistol shot to the head as they were driving back to Chappaqua from a night out in Manhattan on Nov. 18, 2006. He was shot as well, in the abdomen, and he told police they had been attacked by a man he did not recognize who forced them off the road near Chappaqua.
He has pleaded not guilty and is being held on $1 million bail.
The papers were released after a brief session in Westchester County Court. Perez-Olivo, his hands cuffed behind him, did not speak and no family members were present. The newly released evidence was discussed only in an off-the-record session at the judge's bench.
In the Nov. 29, 2006, interview, Perez-Olivo also told police, "I made a hell of a lot more money than I said on my taxes," according to the papers provided by the district attorney's office. He also "asked detectives to be discreet" about the affair, the papers say.
