Miyares made the decision in response to a Thursday request by UVA officials, who wanted a special counsel appointed in order to review the university's response and recommend any policies that could prevent future tragedies. In their letter to Miyares, the university justified their request by stating their belief that many questions will remain unanswered throughout the criminal proceedings without one.
Victoria LaCivita, a spokeswoman for Miyares, told the Hill that the attorney general's office will work with urgency to appoint the counsel and assist in the investigation. “The Attorney General will work with deliberate speed while ensuring that all necessary resources remain devoted to the criminal investigation being conducted by state and local authorities,” LaCivita said in a statement.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
