A high-profile hazing case at Michigan State University is moving forward after the Michigan Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to the state's anti-hazing law.
Ingham County prosecutors say former MSU fraternity leader Ethan Cao lost his latest legal challenge after the Michigan Supreme Court let a lower court ruling stand, upholding the state's anti-hazing law. Prosecutors say that clears the way for trial.
Cao is accused of playing a role in a fraternity party that left one pledge dead and three others seriously hurt in November of 2021.
He faces four felony counts — one for hazing causing death and three for hazing causing serious injury.
