Former Penn State Fraternity Leaders Headed to Prison

Two former Penn State fraternity leaders, Brendan Young and Daniel Casey, were sentenced for their roles in the hazing death of Timothy Piazza. The now 28 and 27-year-old men were each handed sentences of two to four months in prison, followed by probation and community service. In 2017, Piazza, a sophomore, died after consuming large amounts of alcohol during a hazing event. The Pennsylvania legislature has since passed the Timothy Piazza Anti-Hazing Law, which enforces stricter penalties for hazing incidents that result in injury or death. That aw was inspired by Piazza’s tragic death.
