Your headline seeks to suggest that the story is a lie. It corrected one minor point — which was probably the result of miscommunication between the author and witness — but the rest remains. There are at least 4 original witness or participates in the event (white was never identified as one witness or participate in the story) about what happened. So, the lie is akin to one person saying Romeny was wearing a blue shirt, but in reality was wearing a red one when he assaulted a fellow student.
