Overview

• Surveillance aired by HTV10 shows Lacy’s car more than 70 yards behind the impact, with his attorney saying he was back in his lane 92.3 yards before the crash and 72.6 yards behind at impact.
• Louisiana State Police stand by their reconstruction asserting Lacy’s reckless passing set off the chain reaction and note a judge approved an arrest warrant based on their evidence.
• Defense materials include body-camera video that appears to show a trooper directing a witness’s account, a point the attorney cites to question the investigation’s integrity.
• The criminal case cannot proceed because Lacy died of a self-inflicted gunshot in April after a police pursuit, days before a scheduled grand-jury review.
• The release has prompted public outcry and discussion of potential civil claims or independent reviews, with no official reversal of the original findings reported.
