The crash killed lineman Devin Willock and recruiting analyst Chandler LeCroy. A lawsuit alleged that staff and players were overserved.
Recently released video footage from inside the Athens strip club where Georgia football players and staff celebrated a second consecutive national championship brings new details to light as the club, UGA’s athletic association and others face multi-million dollar lawsuits in the wake of a fatal Jan. 15 crash.
The videos also contain significant blind spots, making it difficult to determine how much LeCroy drank that night. None of the camera angles provided in the videos give a clear view into the bottle service section. LeCroy’s blood alcohol level was .197 at the time of the crash, according to a toxicology report.
“If you compare the video to what said happened in the complaint it doesn’t line up,” said Athens-based attorney Kevin Epps, who is representing Toppers. In a legal response last month to a separate lawsuit filed by recruiting analyst Victoria “Tory” Bowles, a passenger who suffered severe injuries in the crash, the athletic association claimed LeCroy and Bowles had been drinking at three other bars before they arrived at Toppers. Bowles should have known LeCroy was intoxicated before getting in the black Ford Expedition rented by UGA for the championship celebration, the association said.
The group of players and football staff is seen spending the rest of the night inside or near the bottle service section. Toppers said none of the more than 30 cameras in the club offer a clear view of the area. Toppers’ attorneys say LeCroy’s lack of obvious intoxication on the video will help them ultimately prevail in court.
