WE BEGIN TALKING ABOUT THE DISTURBING TIMELINE OF THE
FATEFUL NIGHT. >> IT WAS HORRIFIC.
THIS WASN'T BOYS BEING BOYS, MATT.
THIS WAS MEN, WHO INTENDED TO FORCE-FEED LETHAL AMOUNTS OF
CONTROL INTO OTHER YOUNG MEN. AND WHAT HAPPENED THROUGHOUT THE
NIGHT WAS JUST CARELESS DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE.
THEY BASICALLY TREATED OUR SON AS ROAD KILL AND A RAG DOLL.
>> NOBODY SHOULD CONSUME THAT MUCH ALCOHOL.
THAT'S -- THAT'S TORTURE. >> Reporter: THERE ARE
VIDEOTAPES. THAT HOUSE HAD AN INTERNAL VIDEO
SYSTEM THAT'S PRETTY EXTENSIVE. HOW MUCH OF THE VIDEO HAVE YOU
SEEN? >> WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE VIDEO
YET, MATT. I DON'T REALLY WANT TO SEE IT.
BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS, IF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND PRESIDENT
BARRON WATCH IT WITH ME, I'LL WATCH IT.
>> Reporter: YOU DON'T WANT TO WATCH IT ALONE AS A PARENT.
BUT YOU WOULD WATCH IT WITH SOMEONE THAT COULD MAKE
DECISIONS THAT COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
>> ABSOLUTELY. I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT AS A
PARENT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT WILL BE PAINFUL.
AND THE LAST MEMORIES OF MY SON WILL BE HIM BEING ABUSED FOR 12
HOURS AND DYING A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH.
>> I WATCH YOU AS YOUR HUSBAND TALKED ABOUT WHAT'S ON THE
VIDEO. BECAUSE OF HOW INEBRIATED TIM
WAS, HE FELL A NUMBER OF TIMES. AND ONE OF THOSE FALLS WAS DOWN
A STAIRCASE THAT WAS 15 FEET LONG.
HE WAS SEVERELY INJURED. AND FOR 12 HOURS.
>> THEY SLAPPED HIM. THREW WATER IN HIS FACE.
SAT ON HIM. >> THEY PUNCHED HIM.
>> WHERE THE RUPTURED SPLEEN WAS.
>> TRYING TO WAKE HIM UP. SNAP OUT OF IT.
>> THEY DID A STERNUM RUB. SOMEBODY KNEW WHAT A STERNUM RUB
WAS AND KNEW THAT IF HE DIDN'T REACT TO IT, THERE'S A
SIGNIFICANT ISSUE. THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT.
>> WHEN DID YOU REALIZE SOMETHING WAS WRONG?
>> ONE OF HIS ROOMMATES CALLED ME, TO SEE IF I KNEW WHERE HE
WAS BECAUSE HE HADN'T COME HOME. SO, I CALLED THE HOSPITAL, JUST
TO SEE. AND THE WOMAN ON THE PHONE TOLD
ME, HE WAS IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM.
I WENT OVER THERE IMMEDIATELY. AND WHEN I GOT THERE, I FOUND
OUT PRETTY QUICKLY HOW SERIOUS IT WAS.
>> WERE YOU THE ONE WHO CAL CAL YOUR FOLKS?
>> I HAD TO CALL MY MOM TO LET HER KNOW THAT HE WAS SEVERELY
INJURED AND THAT THEY WERE GOING TO FLY HIM TO THE HERSHEY
MEDICAL CENTER BECAUSE HE WAS SO SEVERE THEY COULDN'T TREAT HIM
THERE. >> WHEN WAS THE FIRST TIME YOU
SAW TIM? >> HE WAS IN SURGERY.
AND THE DOCTORS CAME OUT AND SAT US DOWN.
SAID HE HAD A NONRECOVERABLE BRAIN INJURY.
WE KNEW AT THAT POINT HE WASN'T GOING TO MAKE IT.
WE WERE HOPING THERE WOULD BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT, AN OUTCOME.
THEY LET US GO IN AND SEE HIM, WE TALKED TO HIM A LITTLE BIT.
WE HELD HIS HAND. A TEAR CAME TO HIS EYE.
AND I SAID TO THE DOCTOR, CAN HE HEAR US?
AND THE DOCTOR SAID, MAYBE. WE RELIEVED A LOT OF PRESSURE,
MAYBE. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO
KNOW IF HE HEARD US OR NOT. IF HE HEARD US, HE KNEW HE WAS
GOING TO DIE. >> AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY
COULD DO? >> NO.
THE DAMAGE WAS TOO SEVERE. THE BLEEDING HAD BEEN TOO LONG.
>> DID YOU ASK ANY OF THE SURGEONS OR THE DOCTORS, HAD HE
BEEN BROUGHT TO YOU AN HOUR, TWO HOURS, FOUR HOURS, SIX HOURS,
WITH THE OUTCOME HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT?
>> I SAID THOSE EXACT WORDS. IF HE WAS BROUGHT HERE EARLIER,
WOULD THE OUTCOME BE DIFFERENT? AND THE DOCTOR SAID, YEAH.
SO, THE 12 HOURS HE WAS LEFT ON A COUCH, ON THE FLOOR, WHEREVER
IT WAS IN THE FRATERNITY HOUSE, WHEN NO ONE PICKED UP THE PHONE
AND CALLED 911, THAT IS WHAT
MADE THE DIFFERENCE? >> YEAH.
>> YES. >> THEY KILLED HIM.
>> WHEN THE FUNERAL CAME AROUND, DID ANY OF THOSE FRATERNITY
PLEDGES OR POTENTIAL BROTHERS COME TO THE FUNERAL?
>> NO ONE FROM THE FRATERNITY OR FROM PENN STATE CAME TO THE WAKE
OR THE FUNERAL. >> NO OFFICIAL FROM PENN STATE
UNIVERSITY REACHED OUT AND SAID I'M GOING TO BE THERE?
I WANT TO SHOW UP AT THIS YOUNG MAN'S WAKE OR FUNERAL?
>> NO. WHEN I MET WITH PRESIDENT
BARRON, WHEN WE MET WITH HIM, I BROUGHT A COPY OF THE MASS BOOK
WITH TIM'S PICTURE. AND I SAID, SINCE NO ONE HAD THE
TIME TO COME TO THE SERVICES, I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO SEE
THIS. >> WHAT DID HE SAY?
>> HE TOOK A DEEP BREATH AND SAT BACK IN HIS CHAIR AND NODDED.
>> NO APOLOGY? NO HERE'S WHY WE COULDN'T COME?
OR HERE'S WHY WE DIDN'T COME? OR WE ARE TRULY SORRY?
>> HE MAY HAVE SAID HE WAS SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
BUT NO ONE CAME. >> IT'S A HORRIFIC STORY.
WANT TO MENTION, WE'RE DOING THE INTERVIEW, WITH MS. PIAZZA, ON
MOTHER'S DAY, YESTERDAY. THEY WERE STRONG TO DO IT.
AND IN OUR NEXT HALF HOUR, THEY'RE GOING TO OPEN UP ABOUT
WHAT PUNISHMENT THEY THINK THE BOYS CHARGED IN THIS CASE SHOULD
FACE. AND ALSO, THEY'RE GOING TO TELL
