Lawyer for Cornell 7 defendant seeks removal of Letitia James

The defense attorney for one of seven men accused in a high-profile Cornell University gang rape case has officially requested that New York Attorney General Letitia James step down from her role as special prosecutor. The demand stems from social media posts made by James prior to her appointment, which the defense argues compromise the perceived impartiality and independence of the ongoing investigation. The case, which involves allegations that a female student was drugged and assaulted at a fraternity party in October 2024, has triggered massive campus protests and national outrage. Critics have also targeted Cornell University's administration for its initial handling of the incident, with the faculty senate facing a looming no-confidence vote.
