Letitia James Appointed Special Prosecutor in Cornell Gang-Rape Case
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
By appointing a special prosecutor, Hochul signals that Cornell's initial investigation lacked credibility, putting the university's handling of sexual assault under intense public scrutiny.
💡 Why it matters
This independent probe could force universities nationwide to cede control of sexual assault investigations to state prosecutors, potentially reshaping how campus crimes are adjudicated.
