How can “New York State Attorney General,” Letitia James, be allowed to investigate the Cornell rape scandal, when she is a DIRTY AND DISGUSTING COP herself, and has ZERO credibility? Any decision will be appealed by her mere presence on this case. The stench of Letitia James will greatly add to the anguish that everybody feels in viewing how this case is being handled. The Governor should take James off this case, IMMEDIATELY, and replace her with somebody who is not a Third Rate, Crooked Politician! President DONALD J. TRUMP
A lawyer for one of the accused men requested James be removed from the case.
Previous statements from James were cited in the motion.

A lawyer representing one of the men accused in a lawsuit of raping Cornell University’s “Jane Doe” has formally requested that New York Attorney General Letitia James be removed from the criminal investigation, alleging she is biased and prejudged the case before being appointed as special prosecutor.
Teny Geragos, daughter of prominent criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos, filed a motion Thursday in Tompkins County court arguing that James’ previous public statements in support of the accuser have “prejudiced grand jurors.”

Geragos argued that this showed James believed the seven men in the fraternity who were named in a prior lawsuit were guilty “despite not having examined a shred of evidence” up to that point.
“The public cannot, and should not, have any confidence in the investigation or charging decisions of someone who has clearly prejudged the guilt of individuals who the law presumes are innocent,” Geragos wrote in the filing. “The AG should be removed.”
