re: Evidence from Kyren Lacy Wreckless Case (HeartBreaking)

It's a shame so many of you think it's even appropriate to make this about yourselves. The evidence is demonstrable that Lacy's assumed guilt was at least in heavy part due to stereotyping by law enforcement. This community lost a young man who only gave back to it, and people have a right to demand better from the entire state for how he was treated, from cops to fans.

You've saved no space to recognize the tragedy of lost life or the injustice that has occurred. Your full attention and concern is in covering your own butt from looking bigoted when nobody even took a personal shot at you first. You're detracting from people mourning his loss and demanding better of the community, which is 100% warranted and doesn't deserve your insecurity. Just absolutely astonishing. Shameful.

This is nonsense. His own lawyer admits he was driving recklessly and passing cars in a no passing zone less than 100 yards from a fatal accident.

The police are inherently going to suspect that vehicle every time.

Anyone in the know have info on if LSU try to help this kid clear his name at all post-accident? Seems like he got a shite heap piled on him, which could have been avoided had some swinging dicks got involved.

If Lacy was not on the road that day the chain of events does not occur. However, the LSP overreached the law by trying to make him criminally responsible, Firings are in order. That gold truck had every right to brake and fatass lying Funyun fricker had a responsibility to not hit him or employ evasive actions

Had Lacy hung in there he may have had cause for a financial settlement by suing them for this wrongful accusation where they fabricated evidence. With all due respect to him, he probably was going to have a short NFL experience so the potential financial windfall he was expecting may not have materialized in the NFL

Inherently going to suspect is a far step from criminal indictment.

If only they could do this thing called an “investigation” first hmmmmm

And now they will sue to get it back.

Long post ahead..

So I definitely thought the facts as alleged initially indicated Lacy was responsible for the accident. The narrative from LSP was:
- Lacy illegally passing multiple vehicles in a no-passing zone
- Gold truck slams on his brakes and swerves right because he sees Lacy coming head-on in the wrong lane
- Car behind gold truck sees gold truck swerve right, sees Lacy in wrong lane, and swerves left

I said at the time that there was a legitimate question of whether Lacy would be held criminally responsible for the death, but that he still caused the accident.

After watching a fair amount of this video (did not see the entire 45 minutes) it appears that the events mostly match up with the original LSP narrative, but with a really important piece of nuance: Gold truck says he didn’t “slam” on his brakes, didn’t swerve, and says the car behind him couldn’t have seen Lacy coming head-on.

Couple that with:
- Gold truck only going like 29 mph ~2 seconds before the accident
- Car behind him going like 49 mph until the moment she slammed on brakes and swerved
- Inconsistent statements by Funyun lady

..and it looks like LSP really botched this.

The biggest smoking gun, though, is the witness statement and body cam video from the driver of the gold truck. We see:
- Trooper tells gold truck driver to make sure he writes on his statement that he had to swerve and slam on his brakes
- Gold truck driver says that’s not true, lady behind him caused the accident, and he didn’t slam on his brakes
- Trooper reiterates that it’s important to note that he slammed on his brakes
- Formal written statement says he slammed on his brakes and swerved, but is signed “refused”
- Body cam turned off before statement was actually written

.. now that starts to look like straight up misconduct by LSP. It makes you wonder if Funyun lady is connected somehow, because it sure as shite seems like they are trying to protect her.

I don’t really doubt that Lacy was the reason good truck had to brake. The driver doesn’t really seem to dispute that. It’s nuanced, but there’s a big difference between:
1. Seeing the truck in front of you lock up his brakes and swerve off the road, then seeing a car coming head on and swerving left because you panicked, vs.
2. Driving too fast behind the truck in front of you, being distracted, and not noticing his brake lights until it’s too late.. then swerving into oncoming traffic to avoid a fender bender.

Like I said, it’s nuanced. But the “refused” signature on gold truck’s statement and the accompanying body cam footage lead me to believe it was more like #2, but LSP was hell bent on making it look like #1 for some reason.

You can see the roof of a truck going to the right side of the road immediately prior to the head on collision.

You don’t see that until after the collision. It looks like the collision actually happens in front of the truck, then the truck pulls off into a parking lot.

What is the Troopers name that handled this investigation?

Tyler Werner was the body cam trooper who submitted the gold truck driver's REFUSED to sign report
