New video evidence suggests former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy was not responsible for a fatal crash that led to vehicular homicide charges before his death. Defense attorney Ron Haley presented footage showing that Lacy's vehicle was 70 yards behind the collision that killed a Louisiana woman, contradicting initial police reports. The defense team alleges that a state trooper deactivated his body camera while a witness wrote a statement and potentially influenced the testimony to implicate Lacy more heavily in the incident.
Lacy died at age 24 in what authorities classified as a suicide while facing the charges. His legal representatives have requested a federal investigation into the case, citing questionable evidence collection and witness handling. The district attorney's findings reportedly indicated insufficient proof that Lacy's actions caused the crash, according to statements from his attorney.
