And what's with this truck turning into a parking lot "one second" after the collision nonsense?
I see no gold truck doing this. Please link and freeze frame the "not debatable" video you are saying shows that.

Well first off that's not a truck.
Second, even if it is him, it shows him pulling off the road right before impact, just like Lacy's attorney said he did.

…what? How could it possibly be anything other than the truck that Funyun lady was following?

Again… what? You can’t even see him before the impact. But OK, for the sake of argument let’s say he started making that turn before the impact. But he doesn’t actually leave the road until about a second after the impact here. We know from vehicle data that Funyun lady didn’t slam on her brakes until 0.5 seconds before impact (1.5 seconds before the truck comes into view on the video). Then we have to account for reaction time.. another second or so.
At that point you’re saying gold truck started turning into this parking lot 2-3 seconds before he even becomes visible on this footage. That starts to look more like a leisurely stroll than an emergency maneuver.
Now recall that LSP’s narrative was that the gold truck locked up his brakes and swerved off the road. This is necessary to absolve Funyun lady, because it means she swerved to avoid Lacy rather than swerving to avoid a fender bender with the gold truck. I can’t reconcile the video with that description of events. Either he braked hard but didn’t start turning until after Funyun lady swerved around him, or he started turning earlier but didn’t brake that hard.
Either way, it appears to me that Funyun lady was swerving to avoid running into the back of the gold truck rather than to avoid a head-on collision with Lacy, as LSP indicated originally.
Yes, it seems that Lacy’s actions were the reason gold truck slowed down to begin with. Yes, it was reckless. But her actions appear to have been reckless/negligent as well. The decision to arrest Lacy for negligent homicide while letting Funyun lady off without a ticket is puzzling, to say the least, given what we see on the video.

Wait are you talking about the big White Commercial truck that's already at a full stop in the foreground? all l see in the back ground going in the opposite direction of Lacy is an SUV. Can you draw a circle for us?
As for Funyan, she was following too close. But that doesn't get Lacy entirely off the hook.

watch above the hood of the big white truck and you will see what lost is talking about

I already clipped it and cropped it for you. I’m not editing it again to draw a circle around the truck.
I’m taking about the truck that turns into the parking lot in the foreground (but behind the big white parked truck) right after the collision. You see him over the hood of the big white truck that’s parked.

The gold truck driver also clearly said that the vehicle behind him caused the accident.
The Gold Truck Driver doesn't get to make that determination. The responding officer does. All he was asked for was his statement, which he refused to even sign. Whether he didn't understand the law, or wanted to be some social hero, is moot.

Im still trying to understand how the police had enough evidence to charge him based on this. Essentially he drove by an accident that had already happened and got charged with negligent homicide. How in the actual frick?

My guess is b/c he took off so they wanted to place the blame on him. And it's clean to do so.......or so they thought.
Telling gold truck driver what happened and what to write was a poor decision.

Apologies for being behind. What else was going on?

That is because an arresting body can theoretically arrest and charge you with anything according to their interpetation of the law.
The District Attorney then presents the information to a grand jury where some one is then indicted on the charges. At this point the District Attorney can accept the indictment or refuse the indictment.
The Lacy case never made it to the Grand Jury. The grand jury was set to hear the case the Monday after Lacy's death.

Defensive driving at any level teaches you to leave a cushion between you and the car ahead. This guy in the gold truck was able to avoid a head on collision with little effort but the girl behind him had to veer into oncoming traffic to avoid the exact same collision?

Why oncoming traffic?
Why not the shoulder? It is not like the section of Hwy 20 near the boat launch at the parish line.

They didn't have enough evidence to charge him. If they had sufficient evidence, they wouldn't have been trying to coach someone in offering a statement.

I hadn't followed this very closely when it happened, so maybe this question was already answered.
At the site of the wreck, is that an entrance into that parking lot across Kyren's lane? If so, any possible chance that car's preplanned destination was turning left into that parking lot, as in not having anything to do with anything else, but fabricated that to not be at fault?
I don't have a dog in this fight other for the plain truth to be told. From this short video, I don't see how Kyren was at fault. Even if he was in the wrong lane at the time of the wreck (lawyer states independent investigation says he was not) I still don't know how you would find him guilty. The white vehicle between Kyren and the wreck had enough time to stop, then Kyren also had plenty of time to stop (though he did not completely stop you can see he had time to, but opted for rolling stop) and you see Kyren turn his car left around the wreck, appearing to go from his correct lane and into oncoming lane, suggesting he was in his correct lane at the time of wreck. If the gold truck turned right to avoid an imminent head on collision with Kyren due to Kyren's illegal driving then yes that would be Kyren's fault, but this particular video does not show anything imminent given that 2 cars that followed the wreck had enough time to stop.
Video is the only thing we can take as "fact" since witnesses & statements can be biased or misleading at best in some cases, and this case has its share of inconsistencies.

Her vehicle data showed that she was going 50 mph, slammed on her brakes 0.5 seconds prior to impact, and was still going 40 mph at impact. So I doubt it. It would have to be a situation where she almost missed her turn, and even then it’s pretty hard to turn into a parking lot at 40 mph. Also with the wreck happening ahead of gold truck she would have needed to actually pass him while making the left turn which would be even more ridiculous.
Based on the video and vehicle data available as of right now, I think the most likely answer is that she realized she was about to rear-end the gold truck and swerved. The reason for that - whether it’s because gold truck slammed on his brakes (he says he didn’t), because she was tailgating, or because she wasn’t paying attention to the road - remains open to interpretation at this point.

I think there’s room for nuance. If the gold truck had locked up his brakes and swerved off the road, I could see why someone might try to thread the needle.. particularly if the gold truck’s rear end was still in the lane. She would still normally be considered at fault, but I think most drivers would likely struggle to avoid collision in that scenario. Then there would (theoretically) be the added element of Lacy coming head-on as well.
The problem is that the video just doesn’t support that narrative. If the gold truck had locked up his brakes and swerved off the road before the accident occurred, we wouldn’t see him leisurely turning into a parking lot a second after the collision.
I know I probably sound like a broken record, but it seems like LSP really went out of their way to push the one very specific chain of events that would give her a chance to avoid responsibility.

My thoughts exactly. The suicide doesn’t make much sense.
There is data that shows that impulsive people are way more likely to commit suicide; some crazy number of people who commit suicide have ADD as impulse control is a huge factor. We know that Kyren struggled with impulse control on the field. I think all these things compressed on him and he made a rash decision. A tragic story all around.

I think her account in the typed report that was in the video reflected that she said she swerved to not hit him in the back of the truck. Iirc.

That answers my question and essentially eliminates that possibility. Thanks
