By Justin Dillon Oct. 4, 202611:36 amET Stephen Covey famously advised that one should always "begin with the end in mind." NewYork's attorney general seems to have taken that a bit too literally. OnThursday Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that she was appointing Letitia James as a special prosecutor to investigate the alleged 2024 gang rape at Cornell University. In her statement announcing the appointment, Ms. Hochul said that she had "lost faith in the Tompkins County DA's ability to fairly oversee" the case and that "the young womanat the center of this case deserves to know that every fact will be examined and justice pursued." The signal she is sending couldn't be clearer and goes well beyond the usual efforts of a politician to please her constituents: There is only one acceptable outcome here, and I expect Attorney General James to find it. Ms. James doubtless understands the assignment, having run for office in 2018 on a platform in which she proudly proclaimed she would go after Donald Trump and then eagerly proceeded to do so. Public statements she has already made about the case raise serious questions about whether state ethics rules permit her to participate in the case at all. https://www.wsj.com/opinion/cornell-letitia-james-and-the-new-york-ethics-code-c4f21354?st=ycmJ5Q 1/5 FILED: ALBANY COUNTY CLERK 10/07/2026 06:21 PM INDEX NO. 911974-26 NYSCEF DOC. NO. 11 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 10/07/2026 --- Page 3 --- 10/7/26, 10:46 AM Cornell, Letitia James and the NewYork Ethics Code - WSJ On Sept. 28, three days before Ms. Hochul announced the appointment, Ms. James posted the following statement on both X and Facebook: "What this young womanhas been forced to endure is horrific and unacceptable. I'm holding her in myheart and in myprayers. To her, and to all survivors: you're not alone. Westand with you." As an initial matter, we don't actually know what "this young womanhas been forced to endure." The point of the investigation would be to find that out. The NewYork Times obtained documents from the university's investigation, which present a complicated picture: Jane Doe, as her lawsuit identifies her, initially texted one of the now-accused menthat "non [sic] of the sexual stuff was illegal" and that she enjoyed being with him and one of his fraternity brothers. She accused them of rape only after being disinvited from the fraternity's Halloween party. Nor-to put it mildly-do prosecutors publicly proclaim that they hold accusers in their "heart" and "prayers." And consider Ms. James's declaration that she is on the side of "survivors." Whether the accuser is a "survivor" is the very question that an investigation is meant to answer. To start by characterizing her that way is to turn the burden of proof on its head. Ms. James's job is to determine whether there is probable cause to believe that someone mayhave committed a crime, and whether she can persuade a jury of his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. It isn't to "stand with" either side. Rule 3.6(a) of the NewYork Rules of Professional Conduct prohibits a lawyer from making an "extrajudicial statement that the lawyer knows or reasonably should know will be disseminated by means of public communication and will have a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing an adjudicative proceeding in the matter." Rule 3.6(b) lists examples of such statements, including "any opinion as to the guilt or innocence of a defendant or suspect in a criminal matter that could result in incarceration." Almost two decades ago, violations of this ethics provision played a role in the disbarment of Mike Nifong, district attorney of Durham County, N.C., https://www.wsj.com/opinion/cornell-letitia-james-and-the-new-york-ethics-code-c4f21354?st=ycmJ5Q 2/5 FILED: ALBANY COUNTY CLERK 10/07/2026 06:21 PM INDEX NO. 911974-26 NYSCEF DOC. NO. 11 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 10/07/2026 --- Page 4 --- 10/7/26, 10:46 AM Cornell, Letitia James and the NewYork Ethics Code - WSJ whoproclaimed the guilt of accused students in the Duke lacrosse case before undertaking any investigation of the facts. That case was taken over by the state attorney general, who dropped the charges. Years later the accuser publicly apologized for fabricating the charges. Ms. James is a savvy operator and knows she is playing with house money. Her public statements about Mr. Trump didn't lead to either her disqualification from his case or any consequences from the NewYork State Bar, and she expects this time is unlikely to be different. That maybe why, when asked about her tweet at a Friday press conference, Ms. James did not take the opportunity to walk back or "clarify" her comments. Instead, she responded with regal disregard: "I will not comment on a Facebook post." So we are left with a Javert problem: Like the blinded-by-righteousness police inspector who mercilessly pursues Jean Valjean in "Les Misérables," Ms. James will begin her ownpursuit of seven young menwhohave already been punished by Cornell (some severely) and whohave reasonably believed for almost two years that they could take the local prosecutor's declination at face value. Wecan only hope that somehowthis case will cometo a just end.

Andrew Miltenberg, the attorney for Gillio Lopes, said he thinks James should recuse herself since she previously posted about the case on social media. Gov. Kathy Hochul tapped James as special prosecutor in the case last week. "Our concern is not political or personal. It is about confidence in the integrity and independence of this investigation," Miltenberg said. "Before she was appointed special prosecutor, Attorney General James publicly described what Jane Doewas 'forced to endure' as 'horrific and unacceptable,' said she was holding her 'in myheart and in my prayers,' and told her and 'all survivors,' 'We stand with you.'" https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/letitia-james-special-prosecutor-cornell-university/ 1/9 FILED: ALBANY COUNTY CLERK 10/07/2026 06:21 PM INDEX NO. 911974-26 NYSCEF DOC.

"The concern is that Attorney General James' words could be reasonably understood as expressing a view about what occurred before she became responsible for independently evaluating the evidence and determining whether criminal charges are supported," Miltenberg said. Both Hochul and Jameswere asked about James' social media posts at a news conference to announce her appointment as special prosecutor. See More 00:00 02:00 Hochul said 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," adding that she had fuH confidence in her. James said Friday she wouldn't be commenting about her social media post. Miltenberg said that given James' social media post and the publicity around the case, "I believe the better institutional course is for Attorney General Jamesto voluntarily recuse herself from this particular investigation and allow it to be led by a prosecutor who has madeno prior public statements concerning the merits of these allegations." https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/letitia-james-special-prosecutor-cornell-universityl 2/9 FILED: ALBANY COUNTY CLERK 10/07/2026 06:21 PM INDEX NO. 911974-26 NYSCEF DOC.

Nor amI suggesting that a court has determined that she is legally disqualified. The point is much narrower: an avoidable question nowhangs over this investigation, and voluntary recusal would remove it," Miltenberg said. "Jane Doe is entitled to have her allegations investigated seriously, thoroughly and respectfully. Mr. Lopes is equally entitled to have the evidence concerning him evaluated individually, fairly and with an open mind," he said. "Publicity is not evidence. Repetition is not proof. This investigation should be about the facts and the law - not politics, social media or public pressure." CBSNews NewYork has reached out to James' office for comment about Miltenberg's statement and has not yet heard back. Miltenberg has previously said his client "unequivocally denies the allegations against him."

James "will follow the facts" Hochul said. "She'll examine the evidence and go wherever it leads, and if the evidence supports charges, she will pursue them." Hochuts decision has drawn criticism after James posted on Facebook in support of the woman at the center of the investigation. Students turn on CorneLL's president over the school's handling of gang rape allegations I Andrew Miltenberg, litigating for Gillio Lopes, told "Katie Pavlich Tonight" that James's presence in the case is, in his words, "an avoidable error." "There's nothing wrong with expressing compassion toward someone who reports violent crime or sexual assault, or any assault for that matter," he said. "The problem is that the language used by James can reasonably be understood as accepting the central factual premise of a highly disputed allegation." Miltenberg added that the allegations against Lopes and six other Chi Phi fraternity members had already come to light before James joined the investigation.

NO. 11 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 10/07/2026 --- Page 68 --- 10/7/26, 10:51 AM Cornell case: Defendant's lawyer calls Letitia James involvement 'an avoidable error' The university announced Tuesday it has hired former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Sally Q. Yates to lead an independent review of how the university prevents and responds to sexual harassment, sexual assault and related misconduct on campus. The review will include a detailed examination of Cornell's response to allegations madeby the plaintiff in the case. Miltenberg said he and the other attorney representing the defendants welcomed the move.

"It's my experience that Cornell's investigations have been thorough." "That does not mean that I've always thought the process was fair. And at least on two occasions, we've had serious due process concerns and we ended up in federal court with Cornell. In this particular case, we disagree with their determination. Nonetheless, wewelcome the outside scrutiny. It's very healthy." Lumping the seven frat members together is troubling: Attorney Miltenberg argued that Lopes and the other accused fraternity members were being unfairly lumped together, even though each case involved different evidence, factual circumstances and outcomes. "To put them under one single label, the Cornell seven, and lump them together like that is very troubling to us," he expressed. TMZ's Harvey Levin questions Cornell handling of fraternity allegations According to Miltenberg, Lopes said his sexual contact with the womanwas consensual. Miltenberg said Lopes told him he never saw the womanconsume alcohol or drugs and did not hear her tell him to stop. The university later suspended Lopes after determining he had violated its sexual misconduct policy. https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/cornell-case-gillio-lopes-andrew-miltenberg/ 4/18 FILED: ALBANY COUNTY CLERK 10/07/2026 06:21 PM INDEX NO. 911974-26 NYSCEF DOC.

"They found him responsible because Cornell concluded that a reasonable person in his circumstances should have known that she was incapacitated." Regarding a phone call between the woman and one of the accused fraternity members after the alleged incident, Miltenberg argued that the recording did not provide evidence that a sexual assault had occurred.

However, Miltenberg said Lopes was not involved in those messages and played no role in them. 'Cornell 7' case: Embattled DAquestions reports of additional witnesses n "Gillio was not part of preparing or sending that text," he stated. "If the timeline that I recall is correct, he had left the room prior to that text being sent out. "The first time we, meaning Gillio, I and my partner, saw that text was when wewere confronted with it at the investigation." Miltenberg acknowledged that Lopes had no involvement in the alleged post-incident meetings. ADVERTISEMENT "I do not know whether meetings took place and I do not know what was said in those meetings," he said. "And Gillio did not take part in those meetings if they did occur."
