Former FAMU band member gets probation for role in death of Robert Champion

ORLANDO, Florida  --Another former member of Florida A&M University's Marching 100 has been sentenced for their role in the 2011 hazing death of drum major Robert Champion.

Jarrod Deas was given a sentence of 5 years probation and ordered to serve 100 hours of community service. He pleaded guilty to a charge of hazing causing injury or death in exchange for manslaughter charges to be dropped.

Champion's parents, Pam and Robert senior, were in the Central Florida courtroom Friday as the sentence was handed down. On the stand, Pam told Deas "I have no hate for you...you have to live with the fact that you killed my son."
