A new video released by State Police essentially eliminates any notion that former LSU star Kyren Lacy was innocent in a deadly crash in Thibodaux last December. The video shows that Lacy was passing vehicles in a no-passing zone on L-A Highway 20, much faster than the flow of traffic, when a northbound Kia Cadenza swerved into the southbound lane and collided head-on with a Kia Sorento, killing 78-year-old Herman Hall. While Lacy’s car didn’t make any physical contact with either of the two Kias, a witness said his actions forced the head-on crash…
A state police spokeswoman says it was Lacy’s reckless driving that led to the crash in front of his vehicle…
Lacy was charged with negligent homicide and other charges and took his own life before a grand jury was to consider those charges.
The full Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals is reconsidering a three-judge panel’s ruling that the state’s Ten Commandments law is unconstitutional. The ruling puts on hold the law that requires all public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments. Loyola New Orleans law professor Dane Ciolino:
Cut 8 (13) “…appellate court system.”
That said, Ciolino says the state still has an uphill battle in prevailing before the full Fifth Circuit, leaving the U.S. Supreme Court as its last hope.
We now know the name of the man who shot two Iberville Parish deputies outside the parish courthouse, killing one. He was 27-year-old Latrell Clark of Baton Rouge. Investigators say as deputies Charles Riley and Brett Stassi Jr. were trying to take Clark into custody outside the courthouse, a fight ensued, and Clark got a hold of one of their duty weapons and shot them before fatally shooting himself. Riley was killed, and Stassi, whose father is Sheriff Brett Stassi Sr., is fighting for his life.
