Scott Van Pelt Apologizes After Police Release Counterevidence in Kyren Lacy Case

He said his earlier segment amplified a defense video later challenged by Louisiana State Police evidence.

Overview

  • Van Pelt issued an on-air apology, calling his initial response to Ryan Clark’s segment an incomplete reaction to the Kyren Lacy case.
  • Louisiana State Police released video and records asserting Lacy’s driving in the wrong lane at high speed set off the fatal December 2024 crash.
  • Lacy’s attorney previously shared surveillance clips claiming Lacy was roughly 72 yards behind the impact, prompting on-air declarations of his innocence.
  • Pat McAfee echoed those claims earlier in the week but later walked them back, saying the police materials provided needed context.
  • Ryan Clark delivered the original impassioned defense on SportsCenter and, as of the latest reports, has not publicly addressed the new police release.
