New Evidence Questions Responsibility of Late LSU Star Kyren Lacy in Fatal Crash

Attorney Matt Ory has released security footage and evidence suggesting former LSU receiver Kyren Lacy was roughly 70–100 yards behind the vehicles involved in a December crash that killed 78-year-old Herman Hall, contradicting earlier accounts that Lacy’s passing caused the collision. Lacy had been charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run and reckless operation, turned himself in, and was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot in April just days before he was to appear before a grand jury. Teammates and public figures including Foster Moreau, Angel Reese and Sai’Vion Jones have reacted with grief and outrage, saying Lacy was unfairly maligned. The Louisiana Democratic Party is calling for an independent investigation and is working with the family on a proposed “Lacy Law” to penalize officers who knowingly make false reports or misrepresent evidence. Lacy’s agent and lawyer have also criticized institutions such as the NFL for revoking his Combine invite and argued the process prejudged him, prompting renewed scrutiny as the situation develops.
