The attorney for former LSU receiver Kyren Lacy says the video released by State Police that shows Lacy driving at a high rate of speed and passing multiple vehicles in a no-passing zone moments before two cars collided head-on in Lafourche Parish last December does not change his position that Lacy did NOT cause that fatal crash. Matthew Ory was a guest on “After Further Review,” on ESPN Baton Rouge radio…
Cut 3 (05) “…criminal case.”
Ory says the video shows Lacy was back in his proper lane before the two cars collided on Louisiana Highway 20.
State Police claims Lacy’s reckless driving, which included driving at a high rate of speed in a lane facing oncoming traffic, forced a driver to swerve to their left to avoid Lacy’s Dodge Charger, which resulted in the fatal collision.
But Ory says the Lafourche Parish District Attorney’s Office’s own investigation determined Lacy was over 70 yards behind the cars involved in the crash, therefore too far away for him to be considered responsible.
Ory told ESPN Baton Rouge radio that the evidence released by State Police didn’t change a thing…
Cut 4 (03) “…didn’t do anything.”
The State Police video report shows two witnesses at the scene of the crash blaming Lacy’s Dodge Charger for causing the fatal crash. Ory said in his interview on ESPN Baton Rouge Radio, there’s still more evidence out there…
Cut 5 (08) “…you tell me.”
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill says the Lafourche District Attorney appropriately was bringing the matter to a grand jury, so that the grand jury could review the facts and decide the appropriate charges to indict on, if any. Murrill says she’s continuing to review the entire file from State Police and will release a more detailed statement at the conclusion of that review. Ory told ESPN Baton Rouge he welcomes the investigation by the A-G’s office on how State Police handled this case…
Cut 6 (09) “ let’s see what they got.”
Lacy’s Dad, Kenny Lacy, was part of the interview on “After Further Review” with Matt Moscona on ESPN Baton Rouge. The grieving father had this message for the public…
Cut 7 (12) “…fatal crash.”

Senator Bill Cassidy has yet another Republican challenger, and his first female challenger. St. Tammany Parish Councilwoman Kathy Seiden (SIGH-den) has entered the race for the Republican nomination in the 2026 U.S. Senate race. ULM political science professor Pearson Cross says Seiden has a very tall mountain to climb to win the nomination.
Cut 8 (13) “…around very long.”
In her announcement, Seiden says she’s running because Washington has lost touch with the real challenges families face every day; and as a mother of four, she experiences those challenges. Cross says since Seiden is an unknown, she may have entered the race too late to mount any serious challenge.
Cut 9 (11) “…kinds of things.”
Cross says with a Republican candidate field that includes John Fleming, Blake Miguez and Eric Skrmetta and could still potentially include Julia Letlow and Julie Emerson, Seiden’s strategy has to be to clinch second place in the April primary.
Cut 10 (10) “…in the air.”

The whole state is going to be in for some gorgeous conditions outside for the next several days. LSU Health Climatologist Barry Keim says a cold front is going to come across Louisiana tonight, and that’s going to make it a lot more comfortable to be outside.
Cut 11 (10) “…bit like fall.”
Keim says depending on where you’re at in the state, you might need to break out that windbreaker as you head into work at the end of the week – assuming your company is not on a four-day work week.
Cut 12 (08) “…in the state.”
Keim says the best part is it will be a lot less humid than what we had been dealing with all summer long.
Cut 13 (14) “…been experiencing recently.”
