Seven former Beta Theta Pi brothers were back in court on Tuesday for another preliminary hearing in the Penn State fraternity hazing case stemming from the 2017 death of pledge Timothy Piazza.
Penn State police confirmed the tweet being investigated was sent on Wednesday night from a since-deleted account.
