New York D.A. to speak

A district attorney who has been sharply critical of police and university investigations into claims that a fired Syracuse assistant basketball coach molested boys said he would address the current investigation Wednesday.

William Fitzpatrick, the district attorney for Onondaga County, said he will specifically discuss accusations that three men have brought against Bernie Fine.

Fine has denied the claims. He was fired Nov. 27.
