>> peter alexander was following this. lets lock at what we know what what might have gone wrong. >> a lot of questions are being raised about the process of gathering as well. they concede that they erred by relying on the accusers story and not reaching out for the other side of the story. the seventh man that is accused of being the rapist in a fraternity on the campus of the university of virginia. they were trying to err on the size of sensitivity, but realized as they said that it would ha...
