Defense Lawyer Calls for Prosecutor's Removal in Cornell Rape Case After AG James Remarks
🔗 Original source

Defense attorney Christopher B. Smith filed a motion on Tuesday demanding that Special Prosecutor John M. O'Leary be taken off the Cornell University rape investigation. Smith argues that comments made by New York Attorney General Letitia James on March 12, in which she called the allegations "deeply disturbing," create a conflict of interest. The request comes as the state AG's office has opened a civil probe into the campus assault claims. If granted, the case could shift to a different prosecutor and alter the timeline of any potential charges.
