Did a former Penn State football trainer lie under oath in the Beta Theta Pi case? | Centre Daily Times

Former Penn State football trainer Tim Bream was in the Beta Theta Pi fraternity house when 19-year-old pledge Timothy Piazza suffered injuries that contributed to his death, but he's never faced charges.

Peter Sala, an attorney for one of the former Beta Theta Pi brothers, wants that to change. He filed a private criminal complaint on Monday, requesting District Attorney Bernie Cantorna pursue four separate charges — perjury, unsworn falsification to authorities, reckless endangerment and furnishing liquor to minors — against Bream.

Bream, who resigned in February as Penn State's assistant athletic director in charge of training and as Nittany Lion football head trainer, was the adviser at Beta Theta Pi.
