FORT WORTH, Texas -- The trial of Eric Kay, the former Los Angeles Angels communications director charged with the 2019 death of pitcher Tyler Skaggs, is headed to the jury.
The defense rested Wednesday after presenting a brief case, and closing arguments are scheduled for Thursday morning. After that, 10 women and two men will decide whether the government proved that Kay distributed the opioid fentanyl, and that in doing so, caused Skaggs' death.
Before wrapping its case, the defense called a fifth player to the stand to testify about his own drug use, free-agent pitcher Blake Parker.
