Kyren Lacy attorney analysis of fatal traffic accident
- Thread starter houtiger
- Start date
Yep. I rememeber a dude from TOS that got really pissed when I thought we should wait for the details any time an LSU player got in trouble. This dude was, after all, a cop, and thought I was somehow a cop hater since I thought we should let things come out.
I saw the trooper in this case absolutely TELL that witness what to say he saw, I heard the man correct the trooper, and now evidence is coming out to the contrary. That trooper should 100% be in jail, 100%. That was criminal.

The family of Herman Hall (the deceased) had hired a law firm and sued Kyren Lacy. I guess that goes nowhere.
A lady was driving "vehicle 2" which actually hit the Hall vehicle. Will that lawfirm sue the lady? Her name has not been released as far as I know. There were criminal charges pending against Lacy. Will those charges be filed against the lady?

I was not aware that cars had a black box these days.
"New U.S. autos come with an Event Data Recorder (EDR), also known as a "black box," which is typically integrated into the airbag control module and automatically captures a few seconds of data before, during, and after a crash. The recorded data includes information such as vehicle speed, brake application, steering angles, seatbelt usage, and airbag deployment to help determine how a crash occurred. "

vehicle computers are constantly recording data and have been for at least 25 years or so.
back in ‘01 ish we could plug a computer into a car and see exactly when a check engine code was registered.
we would know speed, RPMs, track cylinder misfires, instant and avg mpg, etc.

The trooper telling the witness what to write about what happened doesn’t sit well. If he still has a job his supervisor should be fired. Looking like despite this video state police are doubling down on their “findings”
HTV10 shows the State Police incident report. The on the scene statements from others traveling on the highway, in particular the driver of an 18 wheeler that the green charger passed, gives the state police their narrative. There are some new video from other angles.
Given who you talked to, and when you talked to them, there are some conflicting statements floating around.
I like the guy on HTV10. He seems to be trying to do a fair job.
I have heard that eye witness testimony can be unreliable. I witnessed a traffic fatality in Lafayette around 1970 or 71. The cops came over and asked if anyone had seen the wreck and I said that I had. A lawsuit followed and I was interviewed by the plaintiffs attorney. He mentioned about the unreliability of eye witnesses, but he said my statement sounded reasonable and believable. J Minus Simon was the defendant's attorney. I never testified in court, so I guess they reached a settlement.

The Louisiana Attorney General is doing her own investigation now.
There's always multiple sides and the truth tends to tend in the middle of the 2 sides, but regardless, that trooper telling the witness what to put on the report is very damaging to that side of there story.

The state trooper telling the witness what to say really bothers me. What happened to “Just the facts” ?
OBDII readers, freaking vehicle manufacturers are starting to block them unless you pay for "license" to be able to read the codes. It's an all out assault on the shade tree mechanics. May as well though, if you've ever looked under the hood of anything made after 2015 ish it's no place you really want to be.
As I think back to the first post, the 44 min. presentation, the data was presented from two vehicles, Kyren Lacy (vehicle1) and the lady who collided with Mr. Hall (vehicle 2). There is a huge piece missing, what does the data say from the gold truck. The driver of the gold truck spoke to the state trooper, he said he did not slam the brakes. That brings up the narrative that the lady in the Kia (I think) was traveling too fast, she got up on the gold truck too close and she veered into the oncoming lane (a very bad decision, hit the ditch is a better choice than a possible head on collision). We need to know more about what the gold truck was doing. I am sure the Lacy family attorney has spoken to him in detail. I wonder, in the attorney's 44 minute presentation, why did he not present the black box data from the gold truck? It seems critical, and he left it out. Is there something that he did not want us to see?
The Louisiana State Troopers put out a video that tends to counter the argument by Lacy's attorney. It includes body cam video of the 1st Trooper to arrive at the scene and as soon as he steps out of his cruiser and starts talking to witnesses, they all say the "green Charger" caused the wreck because it was speeding and passing cars while driving in the oncoming lane, causing the lady in the SUV to be 'forced' into diverting into the lane with oncoming traffic for her.
Those are ridiculous. Friend of mine needed a water pump, had to take timing chain off to get to it. I freaking hate Ford! Just all around stupid!

The DA found inconsistencies in the State Police's report.

Lafourche Parish District Attorney report finds “inconsistencies” in state police investigation that resulted in Kyren Lacy’s arrest
The district attorney's office disputes several state police claims.
If you are facing a head on collision, you can either go left or right to avoid the impact. I have always thought that the ditch is softer than an on-coming vehicle. If you can see the left (oncoming on a two lane road) lane is open and can react quickly enough, you might go left. If you don't know, go right into a soft ditch. The lady driving the Kia is responsible for her decision, regardless of what Kyren Lacy was doing.
