Kyren Lacy's lawyer claims investigation mishandled after draft hopeful's suicide

Kyren Lacy, a former LSU wide receiver and NFL Draft hopeful, was found dead on Sunday at the age of 24, with his death being ruled a suspected suicide. His passing occurred just before a grand jury was scheduled to review potential charges against him related to a fatal hit-and-run accident that resulted in the death of a 78-year-old man. Lacy's attorney, Matthew Ory, criticized the investigation as a 'witch hunt,' claiming it was driven by Lacy's public profile and characterized as overzealous and unjust. Ory emphasized that no formal charges were ever filed by the Lafourche Parish District Attorney, and he lamented the media's portrayal of Lacy, which he described as biased and damaging. The attorney vowed to pursue accountability for what he deemed a miscarriage of justice, highlighting the negative impact of the media coverage and the NFL's decision to revoke Lacy's draft eligibility based on mere allegations. The situation has raised concerns about the treatment of individuals in the public eye facing legal troubles before any formal charges are established.
