The Angels stopped covering legal fees for Eric Kay following a settlement with Tyler Skaggs' family. Kay's attorney, David Gerger, withdrew from the case due to over $130,000 in unpaid fees. The Angels had previously acknowledged funding Kay's legal expenses during the Skaggs family's wrongful death trial. Kay is serving a 22-year sentence for supplying a counterfeit pill that led to Skaggs' death in 2019. His appeal was rejected in November 2023.
