Ryan Clark, Pat McAfee and Scott van Pelt gave strong reactions to the evidence trying to prove Kyren Lacy Innocent for allegedly causing a deadly wreck last year.

“There is video to show that this is not what happened and this young man took his life,” said Van Pelt of Lacy, who died of suicide in April.
Clark said Lacy “died by having to live with the blame and consequences of a guilty man, knowing that he was innocent,” and “police … tried to force and doctor and use ways to manipulate statements that put this young man behind pillars.”
On Wednesday, after police released their findings, Van Pelt issued a monologue on his ESPN show and apologized “for the incomplete reaction sent on this show on Monday night.”
“Lacy faced several charges, including the crime of negligent murders, but died of suicide days before a magnificent jury was set to summon – which means his guilt or innocence will never be determined in a penalty. One security here is that this was a meaningless tragedy in December, enlarged by another life lost in April,” added van Pelt.
On Thursday’s edition of “First Take” Clark said “It’s always important to me that I collect all the actual and important information to give the complete story … and when I discussed in real time Monday night, I didn’t manage to do so. And for that, I apologize.”
McAfee said, after seeing Lacy’s lawyer’s claims he “didn’t do it” and “we should get it–right” via outkick.
“We thought we had more context now. McAfee also said Tuesday.

Louisiana State Police released a “critical event briefing video” that appeared to show that Lacy was running at “a high speed passing three passenger vehicles and a loaded 18-wheel in a designated out-of-passing zone with a 40 km / h-posted speed limit.
The briefing video showed Bodycam recordings of a witness-driver of the 18-wheel-wheeler, Lacy said the wreck. This witness said the driver of a gold car traveling north slammed on the brakes as Lacy’s charger approached southbound, causing a female driver in a Kia Cadenza behind the gold car to hover into the southbound lane to avoid the truck. Cadenza then crashed into Kia Sorrento, carrying Herman Hall, who traveled south. Hall died as a result of his injuries.
“The gold car traveling north turned the right to avoid a head-on collision with the green charger. When the gold car turned to the right, the driver of Kia Cadenza the nearby green charger. to avoid one a northbound lap.
Lacy’s lawyer Matt Ory said lacy Could not have caused the crash, considering that he was almost a football field distance away from the wreck when he got back into the right course.
“At the time of the impact he is 72.6 meters behind the vehicles at the time of the impact. Keywords: Behind the vehicles. That’s not how this story ever was painted. Never,” Ore said.

Police said, however, “all collected evidence supports the conclusion that Lacy’s reckless operation of the green charger for the madness triggered the chain of events involving the other drivers, which ultimately resulted in the deadly crash.”
