The mother of a Cornell University student accused of making online threats against Jewish people on campus said he had mental health struggles and later posted an apology. Patrick Dai faces a federal charge after authorities say he made threatening comments on an online Greek Life forum late last month. Dai’s mother, Bing Liu said Tuesday she thinks the threats were partly triggered by his use of a medication for depression and anxiety. She also shared an apology posting she said was given to her by Dai’s defense lawyers after they received evidence collected in the case.
