Judge Sinclair’s decision followed seven days of testimony and arguments from attorneys for 16 of the 18 men charged in Piazza’s death following a booze-soaked pledge night party where hazing is alleged.
The ruling culminates a preliminary hearing that has been anything but ordinary, both in its length and its use by defense attorneys as a trial test.
Students who will stand trial on at least one charge include: Brendan Young, 21, of Malvern, president of the Beta Theta Pi chapter at Penn State, and fellow fraternity members Daniel Casey, 20, of Ronkonkoma, N.Y, the pledge master; Jonah Neuman, 20, of Nashville; Nick Kubera, 19, of Downingtown; Michael Bonatucci, 20, of Woodstock, Ga.; Gary DiBileo, 21, of Scranton; Luke Visser, 19, of Encinitas, Calif.; and Joe Sala, 19, of Erie.
