A former fraternity leader at Northern Arizona University has been sentenced to two months in jail and three years of supervised probation for his role in a deadly hazing. Carter Eslick had pleaded guilty to a felony hazing charge in the death of 18-year-old Colin Martinez. An autopsy found Martinez died of alcohol poisoning. Eslick was the fraternity’s pledge master at the time. Martinez was among four Delta Tau Delta pledges who shared two bottles of vodka to ensure they vomited. The university suspended the fraternity after Martinez’s death, and the national organization closed its NAU chapter. Eslick apologized to Martinez's family in court Wednesday.

Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for sexually assaulting a woman in New York in 2006. Weinstein’s sentencing Wednesday for sexually assaulting one-time TV production assistant Miriam Haley followed a legal odyssey spanning more than six years after he was first convicted and sentenced in 2020. In 2024, New York’s highest court erased the disgraced movie producer’s conviction and ordered a new trial. Tried for a second time last year, Weinstein was again convicted of a first-degree criminal sex act involving Haley. Weinstein apologized in court Wednesday, but he maintains he never sexually assaulted anyone. He is expected to appeal.
