New York Governor Criticizes Handling of Cornell Case
Also, U.S. hiring slowed down. Here’s the latest at the end of Friday.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on Hochul naming Letitia James as special prosecutor in the Cornell case and on framing the move as a response to concerns about how the case was handled. Several outlets foreground Hochul’s criticism of local authorities, with the South China Morning Post, Al Jazeera, BBC News and the New York Times emphasizing failures by police, prosecutors or Cornell police. CNN is alone in centering Trump’s reaction, while ABC News is alone in mentioning video obtained from inside the fraternity house, and NPR alone pairs the Cornell item with a separate story about Renee Good’s family.
