A defense lawyer in a child pornography case says his client was unfairly hamstrung in reviewing the state’s evidence, while a well-known public figure in like circumstances was given unrestricted access.

At the state Supreme Court on Wednesday, Bruce LiCausi said the Appellate Division unfairly created a “celebrity” system for defendants like former Democratic Assemblyman Neil Cohen, who was allowed to see the evidence against him at his lawyer’s office.
