Here is a snippet and link to the Daily Pennsylvanian
Griffen filed a private complaint that now has the two facing criminal charges from the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office.
These charges are in addition to a lawsuit that Griffen filed against the two fraternity brothers, as well as the national and Penn chapters of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.
College senior Kelechi Okereke and Education graduate student Lionel Anderson-Perez will attend criminal hearings Nov. 22, and the civil lawsuit filed against them will likely be put on hold until after all criminal proceedings conclude, Griffen’s lawyer Robert Sachs said.
Griffen alleges that the two lacerated him with a rubber band and severely beat his legs during pledging in the spring.
Anderson-Perez is criminally charged with harassment and simple assault. Kelechi is also charged with harassment.
Hi Everyone
Matt’s Law was read on the floor of the Senate just a little bit ago and passed 33-2 Hollingsworth and McClintock both voted no again.
It is on its way to the Governor’s desk, I will let you know if he decides to have a ceremonial signing, if he decides to vote yes. If you haven’t written your letter yet please do so now.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
State Capitol Building
