BATON ROUGE — District Attorney Hillar Moore has declined to prosecute LSU running back JT Lindsey, allowing him to potentially return to play.
Lindsey was arrested for accessory after the fact to second-degree murder in August after he allegedly allowed two men wanted for murder to stay in his dorm room.
At the time, Lindsey's attorney, Kris Perret, said Lindsey was "unaware that the individuals arrested had committed any crimes, or that they had been accused of any crimes, or that they were wanted by the police for questioning when he allowed them to stay at his apartment."
Perret told WBRZ that Lindsey was at an LSU football camp while Shemell Jacobs and Keldrick Jordan were staying in his dorm room.
"There are no allegations that JT Lindsey was in any way involved in, or in any way connected to the alleged crimes of the arrested individuals," Perret said.
Perret shared that Lindsey was never officially charged with anything and is free of all bond obligations.
Lindsey continued attending classes and using athletic facilities during his suspension, allowing him to train on his own while also making the Dean's List for the fall semester.
With the district attorney declining to prosecute, Lindsey is now eligible to play.
According to reports, Lindsey has allegedly met with Lane Kiffin's staff and is expected to enter the transfer portal.
