I'm mad that some people haven't learned from the mistakes of others yet.
Maybe there aren't enough facts out yet, but I have to wonder why one member is requesting a trial which could potentially lead to him having a criminal record and serving jail time when another member has already accepted a punishment that will leave him with a clean record.
That plea bargain deal really isn't much of a punishment anyway. Any decent college student can crank out a five-page paper easily. Maybe the judge is trying to make the young man compose an official statement regarding hazing. Or maybe he always secretly wanted to be a K-12 principal.
