On Monday, new charges were announced against 17 former Penn State fraternity brothers in connection with video footage from the fatal fall earlier this year of pledge Tim Piazza. A frater-nity member is accused of deleting surveillance video from the Beta Theta Pi fraternity house basement. The charges, including involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault and hazing are the result of an investigation into the deleted surveillance video which was restored by the FBI.
