in February of distribution of a controlled substance resulting in the death of Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs. He was also convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances.
Skaggs died in the early hours of July 1, 2019, after inviting Kay to his hotel room. Kay had been a drug supplier for Skaggs, as well as other Angels players. The jury ruled that the pill Kay gave Skaggs had fentanyl and that Skaggs would have survived but for the fentanyl in his system., District Judge Terry Means said Kay faced a longer sentence because of remarks he made in prison.
“I hope people realize what a piece of s— he was,” Kay said of Skaggs on a recorded phone call while in prison that was played by prosecutors. “…Well, he’s dead, so f— him.” Kay plans to appeal the conviction, a process that must begin after sentencing. Sentencing was delayed by several months after both of Kay’s lawyers left the case. One of those lawyers, Reagan Wynn, was suspended from practicing law on an unrelated matter in the months following Kay’s conviction.
