Judge Marc Lubet will sentence Jones on Monday. The 23-year-old entered a no-contest plea Oct. 9 after initially pleading not guilty.

In agreeing to the plea deal, Lubet said Jones' role in the hazing death of Robert Champion was relatively minimal. Lubet said Jones did not beat or hit Champion.

Champion died in November after being beaten by fellow band members during a hazing ritual aboard a bus parked outside an Orlando hotel after a football game.

Eleven other FAMU band members face felony hazing charges. Another band member faces a misdemeanor count for hazing.
