Gov. Kathy Hochul has tapped New York Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor in the Cornell University alleged rape case.  James is a liberal fool like Hochul.

     Hochul delivered impassioned remarks as she discussed her decision. She expressed shock and dismay at the allegations, and grave concern about how authorities handled the case after the woman initially came forward to police. "At every turn, she was failed by people and institutions with an obligation to protect her," Hochul said. 

Hochul, James on the investigation

     "According to new reports, she could not have been clearer that she was 100 percent confident that she had been raped. Yet, shockingly, those words never made it into the account that Cornell police sent to prosecutors," Hochul said. "Think about that. In what world would the police learn from a victim that she'd been literally gang raped while she was intoxicated by five men in a fraternity house and not elevate those allegations to the district attorney? In what world does the district attorney not even interview her or anyone else involved or even request the full transcript?" 

     Hochul said "new reporting raises serious questions about the information [the Tompkins County district attorney's] office relied upon" when it made the initial decision not to prosecute the case. James "will follow the facts. She'll examine the evidence and go wherever it leads, and if the evidence supports charges, she will pursue them," Hochul said. 

     "No institution gets to protect its reputation at the expense of a young person seeking justice. No public official gets to look the other way when the system breaks down and fails our young people. And as governor I will not allow anyone to sweep this case under the rug," Hochul said.
