McIntyre's assault case adjourned again

There may not be any answers about associate professor Lionel McIntyre’s legal fate until at least June.

McIntyre, who allegedly punched School of the Arts employee Camille Davis in the face last November, appeared in court on March 26 for another pre-trial hearing, and the case has now been adjourned until June 15.

A spokesperson for the Manhattan district attorney’s office said the appearance was the beginning of the discovery phase, which is essentially a time for the attorneys to meet and exchange paperwork related to evidence.

An order of protection for Davis was again extended.

McIntyre is the Nancy and George Rupp Associate Professor in the Practice of Community Development in the urban planning program of the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation.

He was arrested in November 2009, three days after the reported assault at Toast, a restaurant and bar on Broadway near 125th Street.

McIntyre failed to appear at his first court date on Jan. 11, but did show up two weeks later on Jan. 26, the postponed date, and the case was adjourned until March.

McIntyre could not be reached for comment.
