One of the suspect's family members said that the incident was just a prank gone wrong, and the men accused of the beating were just trying to steal a donkey from the other frat house, WMC ACtion News 5 reported.
"What we're finding is the leniency we've had so far on these assailants," Brian Boyle, the victim's father, told the The Daily Mississippian. "That's the biggest problem. They had gone through the university's justice system and were for all intents and purposes, slapped on the wrist. In the meantime, you've got accused felons walking around the campus."
