In this episode of Two Taps & Friends, host Daniel Rosenberg is joined once again by criminal defense attorney Michael Dye to break down major new developments in the Cornell University fraternity case. Following up on our initial coverage, we dive into newly released evidence—including the alleged victim’s six-page police statement, crucial text messages, and conflicting accounts surrounding consent and intoxication under New York law. We also analyze the civil lawsuit, Title IX findings, potential settlements, and the broader legal and moral responsibilities at play.
