That's another picture of part of the Charlottesville police statement.
What if the "time stamped" picture isn't fake?
Why did Phi Kappa Psi have a time-stamped picture from September 28, 2012 to give to the police two years later? Is that what fraternity members do for fun on weekend nights, take pictures of each other moving chairs and then scrapbook them?
Scrapbook them for what? For police investigations?
If Jackie saw a digital clock in the room where Drew brought her and she quickly read "12:52" instead of "8:52" right before she was raped, then the times for the texts between Jackie and Ryan from September 28, 2012 support her story, and they also support a theory that Phi Kappa Psi got everyone out of the Phi Kappa Psi house as soon as Jackie left and then took a time stamped picture to give to the police if Jackie had gone to the police that night, which she didn't.
Also, why wouldn't Phi Kappa Psi have a cash fund for parties for which it doesn't want there to be financial records?
Why is anyone acting like fraternities are full of hapless boys who can't help making mistakes every once in a while, particularly at wealthy and academically difficult schools? Not only are those "boys" men of adult age who are intelligent and socially skilled when they're not slobbering drunk or raping people, many of the older members of national fraternities are men who have been lawyers and other professionals for decades. Those older men are the people who advise the local chapters, and who even publish advice at fraternity websites for what to say to the media when a fraternity is accused of a crime.
When fraternities are publicly exonerated of crimes, while the victims and everyone who tried to help the victims get their lives ruined, it's not accidental, and it's not proof of the fairness and accuracy of our criminal justice system. It is almost impossible to prosecute fraternities for anything, as it is almost impossible to prosecute the corporations that many rich fraternity members inherit.
