One week before former Los Angeles Angels communications director Eric Kay is scheduled to go on trial in connection with the death of Tyler Skaggs, defense attorneys are seeking to delay proceedings after federal prosecutors said they planned to amend the charges against him.
According to a motion filed Monday, federal prosecutors want to add a charge to Kay's case, saying he distributed the opioid oxycodone, in addition to the charge he's already facing for distributing fentanyl. Both drugs were found in the body of Skaggs, who died in July 2019 while on a team road trip in Southlake, Texas.
