The attorney for former LSU receiver Kyren Lacy says the video released by State Police yesterday that shows him 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,” hosted by Matt Mascona on ESPN Baton Rouge radio.

Cut 3 (05) “…criminal case.”

Legal analyst Franz Borghardt says he disagrees with any notion that Lacy’s civil rights were violated, and he’s the first to call out any police wrongdoing.

Cut 9 (11)  “…the grand jury.”

Borghardt says while it’s a moot point now, since Lacy took his own life, it’s unclear whether there was enough evidence to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

It’s day eight of the federal government shutdown, and one Louisiana congressman is frustrated over the lack of negotiations. New Orleans Democrat Troy Carter says Republicans and Democrats are not exchanging ideas – and it’s irresponsible, reckless and childish.

Cut 11 (13) “…the American people.”

Saints star Cam Jordan had his Metairie house broken into during the team’s game against the 49ers in the Superdome last month. Jefferson Parish Sheriff Joe Lopinto says this is the latest in a string of incidents in which NFL stars’ homes have been burglarized.

Cut 15 (05) “…a home game.”

The suspected thieves were tracked to the Atlanta area. Two are in custody and are awaiting extradition, and two others are still on the loose. Many of the stolen items have been recovered.

Now that State Police have released new video that showed Kyren Lacy’s role in last December’s fatal crash in Thibodaux, does that change things? Legal analyst Franz Borghardt says based on the new video, he has no issue with how State Police investigated and charged Lacy, but believes proving he caused the crash beyond a reasonable doubt might have been difficult.

Cut 8 (14) “…been shared responsibility.”

Medicaid provider reimbursements have risen significantly in Louisiana over the past two years.   And State Health Secretary Bruce Greenstein (green-steen) saysthis is a direct result of the Department of Health and Medicaid improving efficiencies, resulting in savings to the state.

Cut 6 (14) “…for Medicaid themselves.”

It’s day eight of the federal government shutdown, and one Louisiana congressman is frustrated over the lack of negotiations. New Orleans Democrat Troy Carter says the last government shutdown that lasted 35 days, cost the American people 11-billion dollars.

Cut 12 (06) “…to be different?”

Now that State Police released a wide-angle video of the crash involving late LSU star Kyren Lacy, how does that change the narrative? Andrew Greenstein with some insight from a legal analyst.

Cut 1 (32) “…I’m Andrew Greenstein.”

It’s day eight of the federal government shutdown, and measures to fund the government continue to fail in the Senate. New Orleans Democratic Congressman Troy Carter says it’s because Republicans and Democrats are not exchanging ideas.

Now that State Police have released new video that showed Kyren Lacy’s role in last December’s fatal crash in Thibodaux, does that change things? Late last week, Lacy’s lawyer suggested that video taken from a different angle exonerated the late LSU star of any wrongdoing. But the new video clearly shows him speeding left of center in a no-passing zone, leading to an oncoming swerving to avoid hitting him and crashing head-on into an SUV, killing that vehicle’s driver. Legal analyst Franz Borghardt says based on the new video, he has no issue with how State Police investigated and charged Lacy.

Cut 7 (10) “…of an arrest.”

Two suspects are in custody, two others are still on the lose in the burglary of  Saints star Cam Jordan’s Metairie home last month. Jefferson Parish Sheriff Joe Lopinto says investigators traced a rental car to Conyers, Georgia

Cut 13 (12)  “…City of Conyers.”

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…

Cut 4 (11) “…head on.”

A state police spokeswoman says it was Lacy’s reckless driving that led to the crash in front of his vehicle…

Cut 6 (09) “…rate of speed.”

Lacy was charged with negligent homicide and other charges and took his own life before a grand jury was to consider those charges.

Tragedy outside the Iberville Parish courthouse. Investigators say deputies Charles Riley and Brett Stassi (STAA-see) Jr. were trying to take 27-year-old Latrell Clark into custody, but Clark fought back, grabbed one of their duty weapons and shot them before fatally shooting himself. Riley was killed, and Stassi was badly injured. Iberville Parish District Attorney Tony Clayton says Riley and Stassi prevented further carnage.

Cut 11 (10) “…to report today.”

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. Loyola New Orleans Law Professor Dane Ciolino says it will still be an uphill climb for the state to prevail before the full Fifth Circuit.

Cut 10 (12) “…its own precedent.”

State Police released video this morning that provides evidence on why former LSU receiver Kyren Lacy was charged with negligent homicide, felony hit and run and reckless operation of a vehicle. The video clearly shows Lacy driving at a high rate of speed and passing multiple vehicles in a no-passing zone on LA Highway 20 in Lafourche Parish moments before the driver of a Kia Cadenza, heading northbound, swerved to the left to avoid Lacy’s green Dodge Charger. When the Kia Cadenza swerved to the left, it collided with a southbound Kia Sorrento. When a State Trooper arrived at the crash scene, witnesses immediately identified Lacy’s Green Dodge Charger as the one that caused the wreck…

Cut 3 (10) “…there sir.”

During the video, a State Trooper interviews the female driver of the Kia Cadenza who, according to investigators, took evasive action to avoid impact with Lacy’s vehicle…

Cut 5 (10) “…around.”

LSU’s offense ranks 80th in the country when it comes to scoring, averaging just 27 points a game. Head coach Brian Kelly says the offense showed improvements over the bye week, as the Tigers look to keep improving.

Cut 16 (16) “…week after week.”

Despite facing one of the best defensive fronts in all of the NFL, the Saints’ offensive line did not allow quarterback Spencer Rattler to be sacked once in the 26-14 win over the Giants. Head coach Kellen Moore says he’s impressed with the entire group.

State Police release new video of last December’s fatal crash in Lafourche that provides more evidence to support charges against former LSU receiver  Kyren Lacy . Late last week, Lacy’s lawyer pointed to close-up video that shows Lacy well behind the deadly head-on crash.
