re: LSP release Lacy info in reference to Lacy attorney misinformation

uhhhhh no. So him travelling into oncoming traffic didn't affect the chain of events?

Call a spade a spade. He was being a selfish prick. If this weren't an LSU football player, you guys would be burning this dude at the stake. Imagine being the guy who drives past an accident you had a hand in

---

There's no on-coming traffic near him. This has already been determined, and can be seen.

And I don't care who he played for. I didn't defend him when he was first accused. I didn't really say anything, that I can remember, because I had literally nothing to go on.

When LSU players do stupid things, I call them out on it. And I usually get downvoted for that, too. But that doesn't stop you from assuming you know me better than I know myself.

I still can't really understand how him being a couple cars behind the accident and getting back into his lane and slowing down caused the accident. Maybe I'm missing something. Not trying to argue, but would love clarification.

He was driving like an a-hole, but it seemed well behind the accident before it occurred.

What we would need to conclusively see if whether or not the gold truck braked, how hard they braked, and if they served to avoid the charger.

Based on the gold trucks statement, they were cruising at a slow speed, did not brake hard or swerve to avoid the charger.

They have the box data from the truck. He never hit his brakes.

Normal accident investigation would first be based on that vehicle (the closest vehicle). If he had time to stop or avoid the accident than anyone behind him should have had time as well.

The lady was traveling too fast behind a slow moving truck. She was distracted by eating her funyons and playing with her radio.

She approached the slow moving gold truck too quickly and turned into oncoming traffic to avoid overtaking him and hitting him.

The man in the gold truck even supports this when he says that she's the one that caused the accident.

The driver of the gold truck said he didn't slam on his brakes.

This is where I’m at. Maybe I handle it different, but Kyren’s recklessness made people react. And maybe that person was tailgating the gold truck. Not sure if that changes anything legally.

What you people don’t seem to acknowledge

The investigating officer gathers facts

Police turns file over to DA

Da decides whether to prosecute. Not the cops

Then the accused goes to trial.

The cop did not decide kyrens fate. If he was innocent he should have waited and let the jury determine that or the DA could have dropped the case.

I have seen nothing to indicate the cop knew anything except there was a green charger when investigating. I have seen nothing to indicate he knew who was driving the vehicle. It was just a vehicle identified.

Watching the gas station surveillance with the sound on makes it pretty damn obvious that Lacy caused the accident. Right after he brakes hard and re-enters his correct lane you hear the crash.

I guess props to the sleezy defense attorney for putting out his video first right before the weekend to spin the narrative his way.

If Kyren isn’t driving recklessly, we’re not sitting here having these conversations.

I'm not defending his driving. That's an issue unto itself. But the narrative that he caused the wreck isn't supported by this video. We can't see the wreck, but we know for a fact, based on where the wreck happened and where we see Lacy's car at the moment of impact, that he was more than 70 yards away.

So, you can theorize that it was maybe close enough for someone to panic, but I've been in similar situations with someone driving recklessly, coming at me, and that amount of space is not enough for me to just plow into someone to try to avoid it. It's just not strong evidence.

I’m not saying he’s the only one responsible, just answering your question. The thought is that him speeding the opposite lane caused a chain reaction. If you are driving down a two line highway going 40 mph then you see a car in your lane facing you head on, going 60 mph, you are likely going to have some sort of reaction.
