Expelled LSU Student Gets 5 Years in Hazing Death

21-year-old Matthew Naquin was sentenced to five years for his part in the 2017 LSU fraternity hazing death of 18-year-old Maxwell Gruver. The fraternity made pledges drink if they answered questions about the fraternity incorrectly.

Naquin was expelled from LSU, ordered to five years in jail, must serve 1,000 hours of community service, pay $1,000 fine and serve three years of probation. Naquin will likely only spend two and a half years in prison after a judge suspended half of his sentence.

Naquin’s lawyers say it’s not fair to pin Gruver’s death on him. Gruver’s family doesn’t understand why Naquin hasn’t taken any responsibility for their son’s death.
