Yesterday, Jessie Baskin became the first defendant to receive a jail sentence for the 2011 hazing death of FAMU drum major Robert Champion.

According to the Associated Press: Baskin, 22, “was sentenced to 51 weeks in the county jail, five years of probation and 300 hours of community service.” He will also be required to pay a $3,000 fine.

Baskin, who pled no contest to a manslaughter charge, was described by prosecutors as being “most-consistently identified as the most enthusiastic” hazer. The sentence he received is far less than the nine-years that State Attorney Jeff Ashton requested.
