Letitia James last week was named as a special prosecutor in the case involving gang rape allegations at Cornell University - an appointment that has brought criticism from critics and some legal experts based on her comments supporting the victim before the appointment. When asked whether the accused students could have comments that she hasn't prejudged the case, James said the comments illustrated "empathy," and added, "what we need now more than ever in our body politics is empathy." #NY1 #NYC #News -------- For more on this and the latest NYC news: http://specne.ws/NY1YT Watch live news: http://specne.ws/YTliveSN Get the Spectrum News App on all your favorite devices: http://specne.ws/GetSNApp2
