JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Two of five men accused in the beating death of a 23-year-old University of Florida student from Brevard County have pleaded not guilty.
Alex Canzano and Jeremy Lane, both 21 and of Jacksonville, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder Friday in the beating death of Thomas Brown of Merritt Island.
Police say surveillance video shows Brown was held down by three men and beaten by two others on the night of Oct. 29 after the annual Florida-Georgia football game in Jacksonville. The tape has not been made public.
Mark Foss, 18, of Jacksonville, was also charged, but he did not attend the arraignment because he was in the hospital, Circuit Judge John H. Skinner said. Skinner did not elaborate, and Foss' attorney refused to comment.
Two other 19-year-old men from Jacksonville are also accused in the death, but were not formally charged Friday.
The men remain in the Duval County jail without bond.
A car enthusiast, softball player and Florida Gators fan, Brown studied building construction management in college.

Fuck them. They're on Video! WHo are their attorneys? How could anyone represent heartless bastards like these kids? This breaks my heart. Justice better be served here. I hope the kid who's in the hospital was beaten in jail. I hope he was held down and beaten for no reason, just like tommy was. God, I haven't looked for any info on this in like a week. I'm just so upset.
