Stephens told ESPN that her client did not cause the January car wreck that killed LeCroy and Willock.

In a statement to PEOPLE earlier this month, Athens-Clarke County Police Department said they believe Carter, in a 2021 Jeep Trackhawk, and LeCroy, 24, in a 2021 Ford Expedition, had been racing after they left Athens, Ga. just after 2:30 a.m.

“The evidence demonstrated that both vehicles switched between lanes, drove in the center turn lane, drove in opposite lanes of travel, overtook other motorists and drove at high rates of speed, in an apparent attempt to outdistance each other,” police said in a statement to PEOPLE.
