17 former Beta Theta Pi brothers, including 12 new ones, will be charged in connection with Tim Piazza's death on February 4.
"Our hearts continue to break for the anguish being experienced by the Piazza family, as this shocking and sad story continues to unfold. Student safety is our priority, and we will continue to hold accountable those who are found to have put the well-being of others in jeopardy."
"Well the catch-all argument is that we don't know other than what was seen in the upstairs video," Piazza said about the the state of the case leading up to this point. "Guess what guys? Now we know."
The new charges, which were filed Monday morning, result from new evidence on surveillance videos from the basement of the fraternity house. These videos were deleted -- allegedly by former brother Braxton Becker, who's now charged as such -- but the FBI was able to recover all of the deleted footage.
The media alert does not make it clear whether the District Attorney's office has been able to recover the deleted footage, but it's hard to imagine Parks Miller would call a press conference to announce the investigation yielded no new information or findings.
"Meaningful change is not possible without help from all stakeholders."
