re: Did Lindsey know about the guns in his dorm?

Trying to say that Lindsey had all these guns on campus in his dorm is ridiculous.
Except for the fact that the US Marshall’s say they were in his LSU apartment. He was also letting the 2 murders us his LSU ID and they had the PIN code to access areas restricted to LSU student housing. One of these cats was his cousin. It’s really hard to fathom JT didn’t know the trouble the dude was in back home.

On 8/4/25 LSUPD was contacted by the U.S. Marshals Service, asking for help in locating the suspect,” the arrest warrant said. “LSUPD was able to quickly locate Jacobs via surveillance footage and found him to be in and around Riverbend Hall. At approx. 1815 hrs LSUPD, along with assisting law enforcement agencies, were able to locate both Jacobs and Jordan in apartment 4071 of Riverbend Hall. Jaiden Lindsey is a resident of apartment 4071.
quote:
In addition to this, Jacobs had Lindsey’s LSU ID on his person and was able to provide Lindsey’s personal pin code, which allowed him to come and go from the apartment and dorm building. When reviewing recorded surveillance footage, Lindsey can be seen in the dorm building with Jacobs and Jordan as far back as 7/24/25 and on multiple occasions, Jacobs and Jordan come and go without Lindsey, using his LSU ID to access the building.”
quote:
Law enforcement officials said they found multiple firearms in the dorm room, including two AR-15 rifles, a Draco and a Glock, WAFB-TV reported.

It's a LSU rule, not about the 2nd amendment.
Its a STATE LAW!
And you're right, it is not worded to say multiple guns. That is because if a legal ruling applies to one thing, it applies to all, unless otherwise specified.
If you don't believe that go ahead and argue that it's called "child" support, not "children" support.

So, if the guns belong to the known criminal thugs (most likely scenario I'd guess), and they show up at his apartment armed is that not sufficient to constitute duress?
For 2 weeks, while he was out and about daily. Going to work out/practice. Talking to coaches. Talking to teammates. Interacting with countless people he could have told?
No, he was not under duress.

there are three entirely different tracks to follow.
1.what can be proven in a court of law;
2. what common sense and experience tell us is, more likely than not, true.
3. what the LSU football program and school administration should do.
It doesn't matter what is "beyond a reasonable doubt" in a courtroom. Lawyers can twist things and judges/,DA's can decide to look the other way.
The LSU coaching staff needs to do the right thing. Athletes lead privileged lives. With those privileges come responsibilities and consequences. This isn't even close. He has to be cut and the sooner the better. If Kelly really is about building men and developing character, here's an easy lesson to teach. I hope he doesn't squander the opportunity.

It doesn’t matter if they are his or not. He’s responsible for whatever is in his dorm room which includes guns and fugitives. Not sure how that’s difficult to understand.

His attorney's statement doesnt align with the timeline in the police report.
Seems strange lawyer would knowingly release a statement saying it was just a couple of nights if police report and evidence strongly prove otherwise.
As far as duress goes, I have no idea if the legal definition but I can certainly understand a person feeling threatened and boxed in without good options even when they have ability to come and go. If these thugs are capable of murder they are capable of exacting harm upon the individual, his family or friends.
There must be consequences dont get me wrong but I hope the young man can recover, learn and make good some day soon.

So they only stayed a couple of nights starting on July 24th, but were then arrested at his apartment two weeks later? So they left and returned?
It sure does seem like someone is lying.

Let’s say he was threatened. He was then allowed to leave and go about his business, but decided not to tell anyone and wasn’t acting strangely?
Use your fricking brain bro and stop jumping through hoops to try and figure out how Linsey is completely innocent because he plays football for LSU.
At the very least he’s a fricking idiot for not figuring out why two of his thug arse buddies randomly wanted to crash at his place for a few nights (weeks more likely). This is a HUGE stretch given the fact that one text message, conversation or quick check of social media from anyone in his hometown would likely reveal that these two were wanted for attempted murder as it would be all over the news.
Innocent by stupidity isn’t a strong defense.

The two accused murderers were arrested in Lindsey's apartment on 8/4. They were first observed on surveillance on July 24. Count the days.

Lindsey was absolutely harboring heavily armed fugitive murderers in his dorm room. He should go to prison over this. I would be outraged if I had a family member in these dorms and this idiot was harboring heavily armed killers in the dorm with his ID, security codes etc.
Did they think this was going to blow over or something?
Everyone is sick of this gang thug culture.

Even without a possible NFL career, why would a decent human being do that? He knew they killed someone.

The attorney’s statement was released on Friday shortly after Lindsey’s arrest. More details and evidence has trickled out since then.
Law enforcement included the July 24th date and a few other details in their affidavit they presented to the judge. It was probably a rough outline of their case with enough supporting evidence to obtain a warrant. The affidavit would not have included every single detail. The July 24th date was specifically used because that’s the earliest day they have the suspects on video.
The judge issues a warrant based on the affidavit, and Lindsey is then arrested.
The attorney reads the warrant and sees only July 24th and a couple of other dates specifically mentioned. He then releases a statement based on the facts he knows at that time. He's trying a little damage control through the press and social media. He’s technically not lying because he’s can always claim that’s the information he knew at the time.

Most plausible motive I can come up with is he feared repercussions of turning them away more than the legal and moral consequences. Perhaps I'm just naive but I find it hard to fathom upholding street code would be the primary motivator when he has so much to lose. Then again, many young adults have little or no regard for the wellbeing of themselves or others and cant forsee the outcome of their actions.
Unless there's more to this story, I'm not pulling for him to suit up in P&G certainly not anytime soon. Same time, not eager to see another young life wrecked due to terrible influences and impetuous decisions.

As a first offender, he would certainly be given a plea deal to a lesser charge (misdemeanor) after going through the court process.
If he admits he knew. In that case, he will never play for LSU. Again, he’s between a rock and a hard place.

They can probably prove that he knew about the murders after the fact. It's going to be very hard for them to prove the second part of the law.

An accessory after the fact is any person who, after the commission of a felony, shall harbor, conceal, or aid the offender, knowing or having reasonable ground to believe that he has committed the felony, and with the intent that he may avoid or escape from arrest, trial, conviction, or punishment.
No matter the outcome, he is still an idiot for even being in this situation .

Lawyer has to make an argument. He’s likely to say Lindsey only initially agree for it to be two nights but they never left. Problem is it won’t matter because they will be able to prove Lindsey knew about the murder and told no one. Doesn’t matter if he only accepted them for two days. Oh and defense attorneys are professional liars. Imagine being married to one.

Sounds like they have a witness who says he knew they were wanted for murder. They will get the rest of what they need from his phone. If that’s true and you let them stay with you, and out of town at that, this is circumstantial evidence that he is intending to help them evade capture. His only defense is that he was forced. That may get him off but it would be a lie and he should still not be allowed to play for LSU.

That wouldn't matter because if he wasn't there he wouldn't know that they brought guns.

Doesn’t fly he’s full of sheet. He gave them his student id to come and go. Stupidity isn’t a get out of jail free card. He won’t play a down at LSU much less go to a general studies class.
