Woman in Cornell lawsuit drops case against one defendant she misidentified
What happened
A woman suing members of Cornell University's Chi Phi fraternity has dropped her case against one defendant, Orazio Petito. She had identified him as the fraternity's chapter president at the time of the alleged incident, but this identification was incorrect. A judge also ruled that the woman can continue using the pseudonym Jane Doe in the civil case.

Coverage emphasizes the misidentification, with outlets describing how she "mis-ID'd" the defendant or "mistakenly identified" him as fraternity president. Fox News Digital leads with the judge's ruling allowing her to "remain 'Jane Doe'" and mentions warnings about "threats" leading to "federal charges." The Daily Wire and New York Post focus on the "wrong guy" being dropped from what they label the "Cornell 7" case.
