State Police released its report on why they charged former LSU receiver Kyren Lacy with negligent homicide, felony hit and run and reckless operation of a vehicle for his alleged role in a head on crash that killed a 78-year-old man in Lafourche Parish last December.

The video released by L-S-P is different from the video released last week by Lacy’s attorney. State Police’s video shows Lacy driving at a high rate of speed, passing several vehicles in a no-passing zone.

L-S-P says a vehicle up the road sees Lacy’s Green Dodge Charger heading in their direction and traveling in the wrong lane on a two-lane highway and had to take action to avoid a head on crash…

Cut 7 (12) “…fatal crash”

The L-S-P investigative report also includes multiple witnesses at the scene who said Lacy’s reckless driving caused a vehicle to veer to the left and strike another vehicle head-on, killing Herman Hall of Thibodaux.

The case against Louisiana’s Ten Commandments law will be reheard after the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated a previous 3-judge’s panel decision that the law requiring the Ten Commandments be hung in all Louisiana public school classrooms was unconstitutional. No date has been set for the hearing that will now be heard by the full court rather than the 3-judge panel. Loyola University Law Professor Dane Ciolino says the state is arguing that a 1980 Supreme Court opinion that invalidated a similar law passed in Kentucky should not be used as precedent.

Cut 9 (13)  “…tripartite balancing test.”

All that said, Ciolino says it will be an uphill climb for the state to prevail before the full Fifth Circuit.
