Former Penn State Frat Leaders Plead Guilty in 2017 Hazing Death of Timothy Piazza

Brendan Young and Daniel Casey face sentencing for their roles in the fatal fraternity hazing event that led to legislative changes.

Timothy Piazza died after consuming large amounts of alcohol and falling down stairs during a fraternity hazing ritual.
Young and Casey, former leaders of Beta Theta Pi, pleaded guilty to 14 counts of hazing and one count of reckless endangerment.
The incident resulted in the closure of the fraternity chapter and stricter regulations on Greek life at Penn State.
Piazza's death inspired the Timothy Piazza Antihazing Law, which imposes harsher penalties for hazing-related injuries or deaths.
The sentencing for Young and Casey is scheduled for October 1.
