Fraternity pledge killed in hazing ritual had 'bad attitude', brothers told police

Mike Deng ‘got it worse’ because ‘he got the bros mad’, according to grand jury report released Tuesday after 37 Pi Delta Psi members were charged in killing

Blindfolded and wearing a 30lb pack of sand on his back, Mike Deng did not readily submit to the blows of his would-be fraternity brothers on a December night in 2013. The “bad attitude” of this resistant pledge made him a target, the brothers later told police after hours of panic, hiding fraternity gear and trying to get their stories straight over how and why a 19-year-old was bludgeoned into a wheezing, non-responsive body as the result of a hazing ritual in the Pocono mountains.

In its announcement that 37 members of Pi Delta Psi, as well as the fraternity itself, face criminal charges over the death of Chun “Mike” Deng, a Pennsylvania prosecutor’s office also revealed details of the investigation in a grand jury reportreleased on Tuesday.

The Fraternity should charged with 1st degree murder , all who participated in the hazing. They should spend the rest of their life in jail. Let's see what happens .
They willfully and knowingly killed this man because he acted different from the rest.
