Missouri frat pledge loses ability to walk, talk, see after alleged hazing incident, attorney says

Martha MacCallum interviews attorney of Danny Santulli after alleged hazing incident goes terribly wrong.

A University of Missouri student was permanently handicapped following an alleged hazing while pledging to a fraternity at the school, his lawyer told Fox News on Friday.

Daniel Santulli, 19, can no longer walk, talk or see after falling into cardiac during a pledge where he was reportedly given a bottle of vodka and expected to drink the entire container.

Video obtained by ABC News showed Santulli in a group of Phi Gamma Delta pledgees at Mizzou blindfolded and led down winding stairs to a cellar area where he was purportedly given the liquor.

After several hours of drinking, which included a turn with a beer funnel, the inebriated freshman was dropped on a couch and apperently ignored as he became unresponsive, according to attorney David Bianchi.

When his fraternity brothers finally took him to the hospital, he was already in cardiac arrest with a blood alcohol content of more than 0.4% or five-times Missouri's legal driving limit. The incident left him with permanent brain damage and the inability to execute basic human functions.

To date, only one frat member has been charged – with a misdemeanor, which his family said is unacceptable.

Santulli's father told another network he wants to see other kids allegedly involved to face felonies, adding misdemeanor charges won't "wake them up."
