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.

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.

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.

State Police release new video of last December’s fatal crash in Thibodaux that appears to refute any notion that Kyren Lacy was innocent. Late last week, Lacy’s lawyer pointed to close-up video that shows Lacy well behind the deadly head-on crash. Now, LSP has released a wide-angle shot of the incident that clearly shows Lacy driving much faster than the posted 40-mile-an-hour speed limit, passing vehicles on the narrow two-lane L-A Highway 20 in a no-passing zone. A northbound Kia Cadenza swerved into the southbound lane to avoid Lacy’s Dodge Charger and collided head-on with a Kia Sorento, killing 78-year-old Herman Hall. In the video, a State Trooper interviews the female driver of the Kia Cadenza.

Cut 5 (10) “…around.”

Lacy took his own life days before a grand jury was to consider the charges filed against him.

An Iberville Parish deputy was killed and another was injured in a shooting outside the parish courthouse last night. District Attorney Tony Clayton says the deputies were trying to arrest someone when a fight broke out, which culminated in the shooting, during which the suspect was also killed. The deputy who died was Charles Riley. The one who was injured is Brett Stassi Jr., the son of Sheriff Brett Stassi. Clayton says Stassi’s condition is, in his words, “optimistic.”

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries says it received 13-hundred applications for the 2025 Black Bear Hunting Lottery. LDWF black bear biologist John Hanks says the 2024 hunt drew 973 applications. He says interest was higher this year, because more of the state is open to bear hunting during a two-week-long season in December.

Cut 13 (13)  “…open this year.”

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 Cadenza swerved to the left, it collided with a southbound Kia Sorento. 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.”

The report says the first phone call Lacy made, based on cell phone records, was to a Baton Rouge criminal defense attorney and personal injury lawyer.

A small Pre-K-through-12 private school in Monroe is a finalist for a one-million-dollar sports facility makeover from T-Mobile. Ryan Dickson, the assistant principal and assistant athletic director at River Oaks School, says if the school wins, the main priority would be to upgrade the outdated stadium.

Cut 11 (14) “…a true stadium.”

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries says it received 13-hundred applications for the 2025 Black Bear Hunting Lottery, from which 26 permits were issued. Black bear biologist John Hanks says last year, only 11 permits were issued.

The Louisiana Attorney General’s Office will be conducting an independent investigation into the State Police investigation of the crash they say was caused by LSU star receiver Kyren Lacy. Louisiana Democratic Party Executive Director Dadrius (“Darius”) Lanus says after viewing the video, it seems that Louisiana State Police investigators have some explaining to do.

Cut 8 (09) “…we did see.”

State Police just released video showing Lacy’s car speeding and passing cars in a no passing zone. Body cam footage at the scene shows witnesses saying it was a green charger speeding toward a driver that caused her to hit another vehicle trying to avoid the charger.

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries says it received 13-hundred applications for the 2025 Black Bear Hunting Lottery. The Louisiana black bear was removed from the Endangered Species list in 2016, and black bear biologist John Hanks…

An Iberville Parish deputy is fighting for his life and another deputy lost his life after they were shot while interviewing a suspect at the Iberville Courthouse Monday evening. Officials are calling for prayers for the family of Deputy Charles Riley who died and for the other deputy who is the son of Iberville Parish Sheriff, Brett Stassi. He is in critical condition in a Baton Rouge hospital. The shooter also died from a gunshot wound to the head.

The Louisiana Attorney General’s Office will be conducting an independent investigation into the State Police investigation of the crash they say was caused by LSU star receiver Kyren Lacy. Newly-surfaced video shows that Lacy’s car 72 feet behind the fatal crash. Lacy died by suicide days before a grand jury was to consider charges of vehicular homicide against him. Louisiana Democratic Party Executive Director Dadrius (“Darius”) Lanus says he wants to know how many other similar instances are out there.

Cut 7 (09) “…false reported”

An Iberville Parish deputy was killed and another seriously injured at the courthouse in Plaquemine last night. The deputies were shot just before 8:00 while interviewing a suspect in a sexual assault investigation. After being rushed to the hospital, Deputy Charles Riley did not survive his injuries. The other deputy is the son of Iberville Parish Sheriff Brett Stassi. He was airlifted to a Baton Rouge hospital where he is listed in critical condition.    Parish President Chris Daigle…

The investigation continues into the weekend blaze that destroyed the historic Shreveport Country Club. It took 75 firefighters from Shreveport to put out the massive blaze, but the property is deemed a total loss. Winner’s Circle International, a nonprofit run by the Shreveport Community Church, owns the property that’s been around for 115 years, and Pastor Denny Duron says they are figuring out what the next steps are.

Cut 4 (09) “…for those people.”

There are allegations on social media that the building, which has hosted numerous weddings, dinners and other events, was burned down to insurance proceeds. But Duron says the building was not insured and he was hoping a buyer would come along and repurpose the facility.

Cut 5 (09) “…in real time.”

Duron says he was in Missouri the day the country club burned down. It has not been used since 2016, when the property was put up for sale for more than four-million dollars. Duron says vagrants repeatedly broke into the country club before the fire. He’s hoping Shreveport fire investigators can determine how the blaze started.

Cut 6 (08) “…fire broke out”

The Louisiana Attorney General’s Office will be conducting an independent investigation into the State Police’s investigation into the crash that involved late LSU star receiver Kyren Lacy. This, after newly-surfaced video shows that Lacy did not cause the fatal crash, despite the LSP’s report that stated otherwise. Lacy died by suicide days before a grand jury was to consider the charges of vehicular homicide that Lacy had been charged with. Louisiana Democratic Party Executive Director Dadrius (“Darius”) Lanus says he wants to know how many other similar instances are out there.

Cut 7 (09) “…lives were changed?”

Lanus says after viewing the video, it seems that Louisiana State Police investigators have some explaining to do.

Cut 8 (09) “…we did see.”

Lanus is calling on the Legislature to pass “The Lacy Law” in the next session, which would be designed to prevent false reporting and wrongful accusations by law enforcement officers, with stricter penalties against those who deliberately fabricate or misrepresent evidence.

Cut 9 (08)  “…gaps and loopholes.”

Louisiana State Police says it’s working diligently on an investigative briefing video, which will include evidence before, during and after the crash; and once it’s complete, it will release it to the public.

Cut 10 (14) “…to be done.”

River Oaks’ football stadium is outdated, and Jackson says that if the school was to win T-Mobile’s Friday Night Lights competition, the bleachers and seating would be a main priority for upgrades.

Cut 11 (14) “…a true stadium.”

Jackson says flood damage in 2016 left the school’s sports facilities in poor condition, so winning the competition would allow the school to make several upgrades to its facilities.

Cut 12 (15) “…because they’re older.”

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.”

LSU’s rush attack ranks 117th out of 134 teams, averaging about 105 yards on the ground a game. The Tigers rushed for only 57 yards against Ole Miss, who had one of the worst rush defenses in the nation going into the game. Kelly says the offense cannot be one-dimensional and has to be able to run the ball.

Cut 17 (18)  “…will be, eventually.”

LSU’s defense will be challenged once again this week, with South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers coming to Baton Rouge. Sellers is one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation, and Kelly says the Tigers have to be able to make him uncomfortable.

Cut 18 (20) “…are not scripted.”

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.

Cut 19 (16) “…an awesome group.”

After missing the first five games of the season with a calf injury, there’s a chance that Saints defensive end Chase Young could return for Sunday’s game against the Patriots. Moore says  Young is progressing well.

Cut 20 (12) “…some optimism here.”
