A Florida judge has dismissed felony hazing charges against four men charged in the death of a university student.
Circuit Judge Martin Fitzpatrick ruled Friday that prosecutors have not shown clearly how the actions of the four men were connected to the death of fraternity pledge and Florida State University student Andrew Coffey.
Three of the men still have misdemeanor charges pending against them.
Coffey, 20, died of alcohol poisoning last November at an off-campus party put on by the now shuttered Pi Kappa Phi fraternity.
Investigators say he was coerced to drink an entire bottle of bourbon.
