"Bashed my dawg name": Malik Nabers rips US' "justice system" after Kyren Lacy's lawyer unveils video claiming ex-LSU WR was wrongly accused

Former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy was charged with negligent homicide and felony hit-and-run by the Louisiana State Police after he was accused of causing a car crash that killed a 78-year-old man in January. Lacy died a day before he was set to appear in front of a grand jury in April.

Lacy's attorney Matt Ory has claimed the former wide receiver was wrongly framed, presenting a video that showed Lacy's car was 72.6 yards behind the vehicles at the time of the crash. In an interview with HTV 10 in Louisiana, Ory said:

"We know from data that Kyren Lacy did in fact pass four cars, there's no disputing that," Ory said. "Further north Kyren Lacy passed four cars. However, he was back in his lane of travel 92.3 yards back in his lane behind Mr. Hall. At the time of impact, he's 72.6 yards behind the vehicles at the time of impact. Key word: behind the vehicles. That is not how this story was painted. Never."

Kyren Lacy was found dead after an altercation with family member and police chase

Lacy was accused of being the driver of the vehicle that caused the crash in a post-crash investigation. While his agent claimed he was cooperating with the authorities, Lacy was found dead in his car after a reported altercation with a family member.

According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the 24-year-old was chased by police before he crashed and was found dead after shooting himself. Lacy's father urged parents to talk to their children about mental health after his death.
