after a confrontation on the subway. Outrage has grown that no charges have been filed as yet, even though the medical examiner determined that the death was a homicide.CBS2's Ali Bauman spoke with New York Law School professor Anna Cominsky about what's next in the case. "Absolutely not. It's not clear cut," Cominsky said."First and foremost, we just don't know everything yet.
"Why in this case would police have to wait for the district attorney in order to make an arrest when there are plenty of other cases where police make an arrest as soon as they can when someone dies?" Bauman asked. Cominsky said now that the prosecutor's office is involved in the investigation, the police will be working together with it, and won't make a unilateral arrest. Cominsky said she expects police and DA investigators looking into the case are now gathering information, finding as much video footage as possible and interviewing witnesses.
