A Wood County, Ohio, jury on Friday will begin deliberation in the Bowling Green State University hazing death trial after eight days of testimony.

Jurors have heard testimonies from the accusers side which will help them determine whether the former BGSU students should be held accountable for the death of fraternity pledge Stone Foltz.

Foltz, a sophomore BGSU student, died of alcohol intoxication three days after attending a Pi Kappa Alpha new member initiation event held at an off-campus house. The event was hosted by Pi Kappa Alpha – also commonly known as the Pikes.

Aaron Lehane (age 21) has tampering with evidence, hazing, obstructing official business, and failure to comply with underage alcohol laws. He and Benjamin Boyers don’t have manslaughter charges against them. Boyers is facing charges of hazing and failure to comply with underage alcohol laws.

Krinn – who was designated by the Pikes to be the Big Brother of Foltz – handed Foltz a one liter bottle of bourbon, in which investigators believed he consumed within 23 minutes.

Defense Attorneys argued that no one said Foltz had to consume the entire bottle, adding that Foltz could have refused to drink at all.

However, Wood County Prosecuting Attorney Paul Dobson countered the argument stating it unjustly blames the victim.

“Little’s shouldn’t be blamed for not extricating themselves from a harmful environment that’s created by others,” he said.
