“In our view, Colonel Hodges failed the public by attempting to justify the incident involving Kyren Lacy,” the organization stated. “This is unacceptable, and we are calling for his immediate resignation.”
Groups, including the Louisiana Democratic Party and the Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus, request an independent investigation to restore public trust. Attorney General Liz Murill said Monday she was in contact with State Police regarding an independent review of the case. On Tuesday, she issued a new statement after the video was released.
“The evidence is not disputed here. The Lafourche Parish District Attorney’s Office was prepared to present the case to a grand jury that showed Kyren Lacy returning to his lane. However, that does not absolve Kyren Lacy of responsibility in this matter. Every witness identified the green charger Kyren Lacy was determined to be driving, as having put the events in motion that led to the head-on collision, which killed 78-year-old veteran Herman Hall. The District Attorney appropriately was bringing the matter to a grand jury, so that the grand jury could review the facts and decide the appropriate charges to indict on, if any. I’m continuing to review the entire file from State Police and will release a more detailed statement at the conclusion of that review.”
