NY AG Letitia James
Let Me Stay on the Cornell 7 Case, Judge …
I’m Not Biased!!!
Published
Letitia James is pushing back on claims that she’s biased against the Cornell 7 … telling a judge she posted about the alleged victim out of empathy — but she still can investigate without any prejudice against the accused men.
The New York Attorney General filed a letter along with NY Governor Kathy Hochul, in response to an ethics complaint filed against her.
Gillio Lopes — one of the people accused in Jane Doe‘s lawsuit — filed docs trying to get her dismissed from the investigation and replaced with someone else … but James claims she was just expressing empathy … not actually supporting the alleged victim — and she also says that Lopes has no standing to question her appointment because he hasn’t even been charged with a crime and it’s entirely speculative that he ever will.
James and Hochul also say Hochul’s decision to appoint James falls under the governor’s broad discretion … and generally can’t be second-guessed.
A hearing on the matter is scheduled for October 29.
As you know … James’ office is looking into the latter to determine if criminal charges should be filed against any of the Cornell frat brothers over the allegations by Jane Doe.
