Last defendant in Florida hazing death turns herself in

By Lily Kuo

(Reuters) - The last of 11 people charged in the death of a Florida A&M University drum major turned herself in on Sunday, state officials said.

Lasherry Codner, 20, surrendered to local authorities at the Orange County Jail in Florida, said a statement from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

"We began contacting (her family) on Thursday and she turned herself in today," said Gretl Plessinger, a spokeswoman for the department.

Codner joins ten others who face third-degree felony charges of "hazing with death," which is punishable under Florida law by a maximum of six years in prison, for the death of 26-year-old drum major Robert Champion Jr.

Champion was beaten to death on a band charter bus in November 2011 in a case that has drawn public scrutiny of hazing, a ritual that critics say has gone on for years at the Tallahassee-based Florida A&M University.

Plessinger said Codner had been in Georgia and had to travel to Florida to meet authorities. She said law enforcement had contacted all of the defendants and "urged them to turn themselves in."

Champion died after the university's renowned "Marching 100" band performed at the annual Florida Classic football game in Orlando.

The 26-year-old's death was ruled a homicide as a result of a "hemorrhagic shock" caused by "blunt force trauma" during the hazing, according to the medical examiner's report.

Under a Florida law passed last year, a death resulting from hazing is considered a homicide punishable by a "felony level penalty," not a homicide warranting murder charges, said Florida State Attorney Lawson Lamar, who has jurisdiction over Orange and Osceola counties.

Two other defendants face a misdemeanor charge for their involvement in the incident.

Charges filed in hazing death of Florida university drum major

By Barbara Liston

ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - Thirteen people were charged on Wednesday in the death of a drum major for Florida A&M University's celebrated marching band who died after a brutal hazing ritual last November, a state prosecutor said.

Eleven of the accused were charged with a third-degree felony for "hazing with death," punishable under Florida law by a maximum of six years in jail, said Florida's Ninth Circuit State Attorney Lawson Lamar. Two others will face a misdemeanor charge, he said.

The charges capped a lengthy investigation into the death of drum major Robert Champion, who died on a band charter bus after the university's renowned "Marching 100" band performed at the annual Florida Classic football game.

"The family is very disappointed" that murder charges were not pursued, said Chris Chestnut, the lawyer for the Champion family.

So far only one of those charged has been arrested, officials said. They declined to name any of the defendants in order not to tip them off.

Champion's death was ruled a homicide as a result of a "hemorrhagic shock" caused by blunt force trauma during the hazing, according to the medical examiner's office.

"Robert Champion died as a result of being beaten," Lamar said. "His death is not linked to one sole strike but is attributed to multiple blows."

The beating took place while the bus was parked at an Orlando hotel following the game.

Lamar said that under a Florida law passed last year a hazing that results in serious bodily injury or death is punishable by a "felony-level penalty," rather than murder charges.

At a press conference in January, the drum major's parents, Robert and Pam Champion said they were still searching for answers as to why their son was targeted. They confirmed he was gay but rejected what they called rumors that his sexual orientation made him a hazing target.

Pam Champion said her son was defined not by his sexuality but by his leadership skills. She said he was known to reject hazing.

"Perhaps one of the motives might have been retaliatory," she said.

Lamar said most authorities would rather not acknowledge that a tradition of hazing in colleges "is something that will continue to happen out of sight until a student like Robert Champion pays the ultimate price."

Robert Champion Sr. said he knew nothing about the 50-year culture of hazing at the FAMU band when he sent his son off to school. Champion said he regularly spoke by phone to his son, and that he always ended the calls by asking whether his son had anything he needed to tell him.

"He never mentioned anything to me about hazing," Robert Champion Sr. said.

The FAMU case has highlighted a nationwide problem at universities as well as the military.

Students at Boston University are under investigation for an incident earlier this month involving five male students who were found covered in condiments, bound together and shivering in their underwear in an off-campus house, police said, in an apparent fraternity hazing incident.

Three U.S. Marines were accused of hazing a fellow Marine who later killed himself last year. One Marine pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 30 days of confinement and a demotion. Two other Marines were acquitted by a military jury.

FAMU in January banned all student organizations from recruiting new members until fall and canceled summer band camp.

A lawyer told Reuters that two FAMU music professors recently resigned after a Tallahassee police report alleged they were present at a band party where students were hazed.

One professor, Diron Holloway, allegedly took part in beating students who were pledging for a fraternity during a party at his home in the spring of 2010, the police said.

Students who attended the party told investigators that another professor, Anthony Simons III, was present, according to the police report.

Tallahassee defense attorney Mutaqee Akbar told Reuters both men resigned after receiving letters from the university notifying them its intent to dismiss them. Akbar has told Reuters that Simons doesn't remember whether he was at the party but that he never witnessed or participated in hazing.

Charges filed in hazing death of Florida university drum major

By Barbara Liston

ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - Thirteen people were charged on Wednesday in the death of a drum major for Florida A&M University's celebrated marching band who was subjected to a brutal hazing ritual last November, a state prosecutor said.

Rather than face murder charges, 11 of the defendants were accused of a third-degree felony for "hazing with death," punishable under Florida law by a maximum of six years in prison, said Florida State Attorney Lawson Lamar. Two others face a misdemeanor charge, he said.

The charges capped a lengthy investigation into the death of Florida A&M University drum major Robert Champion, who died on a band charter bus after the university's renowned "Marching 100" band performed at the annual Florida Classic football game.

"I was a little disappointed. I thought the charges would be a little harsher," said the drum major's mother, Pam Champion. She called for a federal law that would make hazing a more serious crime.

So far only one of those charged has been arrested, said officials, who declined to name any of the defendants in order not to tip them off. Almost all are believed to be students who were traveling on the bus with Champion.

Champion's death was "nothing short of an American tragedy," said Lamar, state attorney for Orange and Osceola counties in central Florida. "Hazing in our nation's colleges and universities ... is a tradition we cannot tolerate in America."

The 26-year-old's death was ruled a homicide as a result of a "hemorrhagic shock" caused by "blunt force trauma" during the hazing, according to the medical examiner's report.

"His death is not linked to one sole strike but is attributed to multiple blows," said Lamar. "He had extensive contusions on his chest, arms, shoulder and back."

The beating took place while the bus was parked at an Orlando hotel following a band performance at the high-profile football game.

Lamar said that under a Florida law passed last year, a hazing that results in serious bodily injury or death is considered a homicide punishable by a "felony level penalty," not a homicide warranting murder charges.

FAMILY SEARCHES FOR ANSWERS

The family's lawyer Chris Chestnut blamed a poor investigation for the lack of murder charges. Chestnut said authorities failed to seize evidence on the bus the night of Champion's death, or separate and immediately interview the other students.

Chestnut said the students rode the same bus back to Tallahassee the next morning, and the bus was cleaned and put back into service.

He said the family's own civil investigation had turned up students who said they had received text messages from alumni "on how not to get caught."

The Champion family have said they are still searching for answers as to why their son was targeted. They have confirmed that he was gay, but rejected what they called "rumors" that his sexual orientation made him a hazing target.

Pam Champion said her son was defined not by his sexuality but by his leadership skills. She said he was known to reject hazing.

"Perhaps one of the motives might have been retaliatory," she said.

Champion's father has said he knew nothing about the 50-year culture of hazing at the FAMU band when he sent his son off to school. He said they regularly spoke by phone, and that he always ended the calls by asking whether his son had anything he needed to tell his dad.

"He never mentioned anything to me about hazing," Robert Champion Sr. said.

Florida A&M drum major death ruled a homicide

By Barbara Liston

ORLANDO, Fla (Reuters) - A medical examiner has ruled the death of a Florida A&M University drum major a homicide by blunt force trauma sustained during a hazing incident, according to a news release on Friday.

Robert Champion, 26, died after a performance by the school's internationally renowned band at the annual Florida Classic in Orlando on November 19.

Champion, a music major from Atlanta who served as one of six drum majors for the historically black college's 375-member Marching "100" band, vomited and complained that he could not breathe on a band bus after the game.

Law enforcement officials had said they suspected hazing was involved but until now the medical examiner's office had not issued a cause of death.

The medical examiner's report states Champion collapsed and died within an hour of a hazing incident. His body showed signs of multiple blows to his chest, arms, shoulders and back, as well as extensive internal bleeding.

"Immediately after the hazing incident, he complained of thirst and fatigue; minutes later, he noted loss of vision ...
