Prosecutors Drop Assault Charges in Penn State Hazing Death
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MARCH 15, 2018, 1:31 P.M. E.D.T.

Pennsylvania prosecutors are dropping all assault charges against members of a now-closed Penn State fraternity in the hazing death of a pledge, sparing defendants the most serious allegations any had faced.

The attorney general's office announced Thursday that it will continue to pursue involuntary manslaughter charges against four former members of Beta Theta Pi in the February 2017 death of 19-year-old pledge Tim Piazza of Lebanon, New Jersey. But those don't carry the lengthy prison sentences that some of the assault charges did.

The state is now handling the case on referral from a new county district attorney.

A judge had thrown out the most serious charges in September but the county prosecutor at the time refiled them, including eight felony counts of aggravated assault.

Prosecutors are still reviewing the case, which involves 26 defendants

In the end they will offer them no jail time in trade for a guilty plea to some misdemeanor... then will grandstand about "winning".

Centre County has perfected the art of overcharging.

Exactly where my mind went. Yup.

It's just too bad miller is no longer in office. We don't get to see her slobber over the camera about her "win".

I don't understand this. I thought SPM had a press conference and everything.

SPM is a friggin joke. And now she has her own firm in state college. I'm sure she'll put out some sort of press release. Her failures are the only thing that keep her relevant.
