Cornell Case: Letitia James Named Special Prosecutor, No One Has Been Charged, Christa Pike Is Awake and Speaking, Paitin Fields Trial

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul appointed Attorney General Letitia James special prosecutor on Oct. 1 in the Cornell University case, saying she had lost faith in Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten's handling of it. A former student identified in court papers as Jane Doe has filed a civil suit against seven then-members of Chi Phi, the university, the national fraternity and others, alleging she was pressured into taking ketamine and assaulted over several hours in October 2024. All seven deny wrongdoing; no one has been charged with a crime. Van Houten, who declined to bring charges in 2024 based on a six-page sworn statement, has said he never received the full transcript of her interview with campus police, and has reopened the case; he says he supports the special prosecutor's appointment. Also: Christa Gail Pike is conscious and speaking a week after Tennessee's failed execution, her attorneys say, though she remains in critical care and shackled to her bed. And in Pender County, North Carolina, David Prevatte, 27, is on trial in the 2017 death of five-year-old Paitin Fields; he has pleaded not guilty. Garret Fisher reports.
