A Baton Rouge grand jury reviewing the cases against 10 men who were facing criminal charges for the death of an LSU freshman last year has indicted four of the men for their involvement, according to prosecutors Thursday (March 15).

Matthew Alexander Naquin, 19, of Boerne, Texas was indicted with negligent homicide for the Sept. 14 death of Maxwell Gruver. Patrick Forde, Sean Paul Gott, and Ryan Isto were indicted on hazing charges, according to a news release from the District Attorney's office in East Baton Rouge Parish.

East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore's office stated the grand jury was unable to reach a consensus on the hazing charges against the remaining men arrested last year. The grand jury was also unable to reach a consensus on an obstruction of justice charge against Zachary Castillo. Moore's office previously declined pressing criminal charges against Sean Pennison.

Baton Rouge Police said Gruver of Rosewell, Ga., was involved in a hazing event at Phi Delta fraternity in September where members forced him to drink during a ritual testing their fraternity knowledge. One Phi Delta Theta pledge told authorities Gruver was "made to" take at least 10 to 12 "pulls" of 190-Diesel as other pledges drunk lesser amounts of the liquor. After members found Gruver "unresponsive" on the fraternity couch around 11 a.m. the next morning, he was taken to Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge.

Gruver died from "acute alcohol intoxication with aspiration." The 18-year-old's body had a blood alcohol level of .495, which is more than six times the legal limit for those 21 and older to drive.

Although the grand jury also heard evidence relating to the fraternity's role in the case, Moore's office stated the grand jury was unable to reach a consensus on whether the Phi Delta Theta Chapter at LSU committed the hazing.

Negligent homicide is a felony crime that carries a maximum sentence of five years, with a possible fine of $5,000. The maximum penalty for hazing is 30 days in jail and a $100 fine.
 
Should charge them with providing an underrage person alcohol

Unless they physically held the guy down and literally forced him to drink, than the other charges are horseshit.
 
Frats are for insecure morons looking for a gang to play with in their homo erotic adventures..

A former Louisiana State University student on Wednesday was found guilty of negligent homicide in the alcohol-related hazing death of a fraternity pledge two years ago.

It took less than an hour for the jurors to convict Matthew Naquin, 21, who now faces anywhere from probation to five years in prison at his Oct. 16 sentencing, The Advocate reported.

Prosecutors said Naquin was primarily responsible for the death of 18-year-old Max Gruver — who had been at LSU a month when he died of alcohol poisoning, the morning after a Phi Delta Theta hazing ritual dubbed “Bible Study.”

He and other pledges were forced to chug 190-proof liquor during the Sept. 13, 2017 event, if they didn’t know the answers to questions about the frat or couldn’t recite the Greek alphabet.

A toxicologist testified that Gruver was a “dead man walking” after downing the booze.

His blood-alcohol level was at 0.495%, more than six times the legal driving limit in Louisiana when he died.

An autopsy also detected THC, the chemical found in marijuana, in his system.

Two days before Gruver died, other frat boys warned Naquin to tone down his behavior with pledges, which they said was extreme and dangerous, according to court documents and trail testimony.

He was also charged with obstruction of justice for allegedly deleting thousands of files from his phone during the criminal investigation. That case is pending.

Naquin’s former LSU roommate, Ryan Matthew Isto, 20, of Butte, Montana, and ex-LSU student Sean-Paul Gott, 22, of Lafayette, pleaded no contest last year to misdemeanor hazing. Another former LSU student Patrick Andrew Forde, 22, was also charged with hazing.
 
What a load of shit. Unless he had a gun to his head or was tied down and physically had liquid forced down his throat, he wasnt forced to drink.

Load of shit.
