One fraternity member is accused of deleting the video as police were seeking the footage. The house’s security system captured many of the events the night Piazza was injured, footage that had already been played at a preliminary hearing for those charged previously. Parks Miller said in a written statement that the basement video “clearly depicts a continuation of the hazing activity previously captured upstairs,” including giving pledges beer, wine and vodka. The most serious offences include involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault, while others are charged with hazing or alcohol violations. The grand jury that investigated Piazza’s death, video footage and preliminary hearing testimony painted a disturbing picture of his final night inside the fraternity house.
