In the wake of the death of former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy on Sunday of an apparent suicide, Lacy’s lawyer, Matthew Ory, released a statement criticizing the investigation regarding his client’s arrest on charges stemming from a fatal hit-and-run crash in Louisiana.
A grand jury had been set to hear evidence involving the case beginning on Monday.
Ory called the investigation into Lacy “targeted and overzealous” and also referred to it as a “witch hunt.”
“We were very confident the evidence, after being fully collected and reviewed, would lead to a declination of charges,’’ the statement read, first released by WAFB-TV.
“From the very beginning, this so-called investigation took on the appearance of an overzealous, targeted effort—what can only be described as a witch hunt—fueled by who Kyren was and the public profile he carried.
