US EditionLSU HC Brian Kelly Reacts to New Evidence Presented by Kyren Lacy's Attorney
New video evidence shows Kyren Lacy was not at the crash impact site, challenging official claims and raising questions about his wrongful blame in a fatal December accident.
- On Monday, LSU head coach Brian Kelly addressed the media following the release of new video evidence from Kyren Lacy’s attorney, which appears to exonerate Lacy from involvement in a fatal accident that occurred last December in Lafourche Parish.
- Lacy had been accused of negligent homicide after State Police alleged his reckless driving caused a head-on collision that killed 78-year-old Herman Hall, but Lacy's attorney Matthew Ory argued Lacy was almost 70 yards behind the incident.
- Ory released police body camera and crash scene videos showing a trooper coaching another driver’s report and suggesting Lacy's car was not at the crash site when the collision happened.
- Kelly emphasized the importance of holding off on judgments until all details are available, and Attorney General Liz Murrill noted that her office will conduct its own independent assessment of the evidence in the case.
- Following these developments, official investigations are now underway as calls for transparency and independent review grow among state officials and advocacy groups.
