ORLANDO, Florida -- A former Florida A&M band member who's been awaiting his punishment for more than two years for his role in a drum major's hazing death, has been sentenced to four years in prison with credit for time served.
Caleb Jackson, 26, will serve roughly 11 more months after receiving credit for two years and 149 days, according to Channel 9's Julie Salomone.
Jackson was sentenced Friday after it had been postponed twice in the past month. He pleaded no contest to manslaughter and hazing in 2013 for his role in the 2011 death of Robert Champion, who was from Decatur, Georgia. Jackson faced 35 years in prison.
