A Pennsylvania law school professor raised questions on Friday about why a Gettysburg College student who alleged that a teammate carved a racial slur on his chest chose not to speak with authorities regarding the incident.
"I don't think that saying questions are outstanding means that we are denying the person's experience or saying that what they have experienced or believe is wrong," F. Lee Francis, a former federal prosecutor and a professor from Widener University Commonwealth Law School in Harrisburg, told ABC27. "But we do need to make sure we have our facts in order. How does something like this happen? It makes me wonder why the person would go to the media rather than going to the police if something as serious as a hate crime really did occur."
