According to him it said: "Mrs. Cullen thanks the police for apprehending her husband's killer". (L&O:"The Wages of Love") As of 2002, George Tate was the publisher of the Ledger. (CI:"Maledictus") The editor of the competing newspaper New York Sentinel, Ben Elkins, once said that he "wouldn't wipe his ass" with the Ledger. (CI: Pravda) Members of the New York City Police Department who had a personal relationship with reporters employed by the Ledger would sometimes use those connections to further their investigations. Robert Goren did so on a few occasions, including one attempt to bring the serial killer known as Body By Jake out into the public eye. The attempt did indeed provoke him into attempting another murder, which was narrowly avoided by the intended victim. (CI:"Shibboleth") Olivia Benson leaked information about an anthrax case to a reporter (Jackson Zane) against orders from the Feds. Zane ends up going to prison to protect Olivia. (SVU: "Storm") In 2009, the Ledger got an exclusive scoop on Councillor Neil Hayes-Fitzgerald's deals with contractor Chris Palarno thanks to tips from Hayes-Fitzgerald's stepdaughter, Stacy. (CI: "Playing Dead") A close-up shot of a letter addressed to the paper revealed that it is located at 208 South Street, New York, NY 10001, which is a non-existent address. 208 South Street is in ZIP Code 10002.
