In December 2018, the Florida Supreme Court issued a decision regarding the hazing death of Robert Champion, who was a student at Florida A&M University. Defense lawyers for one of the men charged with Champion's death argued that the hazing statute was too vague and unconstitutional. The Supreme Court rejected that argument and ruled in favor of the lower court's decision, affirming that the hazing statute is sufficiently clear and constitutional. It has not yet been made clear how this will affect the case against the men charged with Andrew Coffey's death.
