Eric Kay’s trial continued Tuesday, with the court hearing from former Angels pitcher Matt Harvey. In his testimony, Harvey talked about his discussions with the late Tyler Skaggs about drugs and his, as well as Skaggs’s, substance use.
Kay, the former Angels communications director, is on trial after being indicted by a Texas federal grand jury for allegedly supplying Skaggs with the fentanyl that caused his death in 2019.
On Feb. 9, Kay’s defense attorney, Reagan Wynn, said Harvey provided Skaggs with one of the pills the late Angels pitcher took the night of his death. Per Wynn, Kay saw Skaggs take three lines of crushed pills—two blue and one pink. Kay asked Skaggs where the pink substance came from and Skaggs responded, “Those are Percocets I got from [former teammate Matt] Harvey.“
