The defense lawyer for a high‑profile case involving rape allegations at Cornell University has called for the removal of the special prosecutor appointed by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
The lawyer argues that comments she has made about the case should disqualify the prosecutor from overseeing the investigation. The allegations, which have attracted national attention, are currently being examined by the Attorney General’s office.
In a statement, the lawyer said that the prosecutor’s remarks on the matter could compromise the impartiality of the investigation. She has formally requested that the special prosecutor be removed from the case.
The request comes as the legal proceedings continue to unfold. No decision has yet been made regarding the prosecutor’s removal, and the case remains under active scrutiny by state authorities.
