. fraternity hazing back in the spotlight. the trial of two members accused of a hazing death in ohio wrapping up the first week of testimony. his name stone foltz he was a sophomore at bowling green state university he died last year after attending a frat party prosecutors say his blood-alcohol was four times the legal limit. prosecutors this week played for t t the injury this video. to shows him drinking a bottle of bourbon police charged eight men in ex-can with his death, six ple pleaded guilty, the other two on trial. their names jacob kren and troy hendrickson. they are facing multiple charges, including involuntary manslaughter foltz is one of the many hazing deaths that rocked schools across the country according to a professor at franklin college who tracks cases morks than 70 students have died from hazing since 007.
4:14 am
on the stone/foltz case here is valerie castro >> why couldo you have to drinka lot? he said it's a rich rule. >> reporter: read interesting text he messages, shaerry foltz recounted her last conversation she had with stone foltz the night before he died, the result of fraternity hazing at bowling state university last year a criminal trial against two of the international frat members began this week. the prosecution laying out the events of the night during which a pledge or little would be expected to drink alcohol provided by a more senior member or big >> the big gives a bottle of liquor to the little but there is something else that goes along with it the expectation that the little would drink that whole bottle then and there at the big/little event. >> reporter: in opening statements the defense vowed to show that the tradition was not mandatory or required for membership >> you will hear not one shred of evidence, not one is shred, r
4:15 am

4:16 am
shep. >> valerie castro on the trial, thank you. david henderson is with us now, former prosecutor, civil rights attorney. this trial i guess boils down to one real question. did stone foltz have free will that night or was he forced. how will the jury see it >> you know, shep, this is going to be a difficult one because the jury is going to see it from both directions. ohio has made a point of cracking down on hazing by passing laws, so the public will be aware of that t and foltz, tragic as his death is, was participating and was not forced to drink that alcohol. it's a tough sell for a jury. >> no doubt there is a pattern no doubt it's a tragedy. should these young men be facing the possibility of prison time for an event that foltz voluntarily participated in? >> shep, that goes both ways ohio is one of 44 states now that have passed laws outlawing hazing and they are one of 13 states that make it a felony if
