These five students from the Ole Miss mauled Sigma Pi member Jeremy Boyle so badly that the victim’s grandfather, Robert, said his grandson was “beaten within an inch of his life.”
The attack happened on October 6, when Boyle heard a noise outside of the house, and went to investigate. He was then mercilessly battered.
Tucker Cole Steil is charged with felony assault. James Declan Basile is charged with simple assault, hazing and larceny — all misdemeanors. Christian Guy, Kyle Hughes and Austin Rice are charged with misdemeanor larceny.
Jeremy’s father, Brian Boyle, told the Daily Mississippian that the family is very upset about the university’s reaction to the entire incident:
“What we’re finding is the leniency we’ve had so far on these assailants. 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 mean time, you’ve got accused felons walking around the campus.”
