BREAKING - Former Los Angeles Angels communications director Eric Kay was sentenced to 22 years following his conviction for distributing fentanyl and giving Tyler Skaggs the drugs that caused his death.
Former Los Angeles Angels communications director Eric Kay was sentenced to 22 years in prison following hisJudge Terry Means said he was"dreading" the sentence for Kay, due to disagreement with the 20-yr minimum. However, in recorded phone calls from prison, and emails, Kay allegedly disparaged the jury, Skaggs, his family and prosecutors. Thus, Judge Means added two years in response to that.
The Angels pitcher died in a Southlake hotel room in 2019. A coroner's report said Skaggs, 27, had choked to death on his vomit, and a toxic mix of alcohol, fentanyl and oxycodone was in his system. The medical examiner who conducted the autopsy testified there was a"greater probability" that fentanyl, which is significantly more potent than oxycodone, caused Skaggs' death. An expert for the government said it was a near-certainty fentanyl led to Skaggs' death.
