A former FSU student has been sentenced to prison after punching fraternity pledge Nicholas Mauricio, who suffered severe brain damage as a result of a hazing incident.
A Florida judge last week sentenced a former Florida State University student to 30 days in prison and a year of probation after he punched his peer during a fraternity hazing incident in 2018.
It's affecting my whole family,' Mauricio said, adding that they 'like the word survivor because it’s an extension of being a victim, but you were able to persevere.' His mother, Michelle Mauricio, told Fox News Digital waiting six years to get justice has been 'atrocious.' 'I’m still so emotionally exhausted. … I’m just tired of fighting a battle we’re never going to win.
Mauricio hopes to be an advocate for college hazing and others who suffer from brain damage. Attorney Gannon Coens of Bodiford Law, which represented Walker, declined to comment at the time of publication.
