Tory Lanez is intensifying efforts to secure his freedom.
The rapper's team is powering up to prove his innocence in the alleged shooting involving Megan Thee Stallion in June of 2020, which landed him in prison in 2023.
The effort from Tory Lanez's team comes after he was moved to another correctional facility due to his involvement in a stabbing incident that left him injured in 14 different spots.
Lanez's legal team has launched a new website, 36hourslater.com, which features previously unheard audio from the night he allegedly shot Megan.
The website aims to shed light on the 36 hours following the incident, which was triggered by Megan's Instagram Live session where she shared her version of the events.
The audio carried an account from Sean Kelly, a witness interviewed by police on July 12, 2020, who stated in the video that he observed a woman, who is now identified as Kelsey Harris, aggressively exiting the rear of a Cadillac Escalade.
He recounted witnessing a heated confrontation between Harris and Megan, describing a physical altercation that erupted between the two women. While the driver attempted to separate them, Tory reportedly remained in the backseat of the vehicle.
Per TMZ, Kelly noted that it was during this chaos that he saw Kelsey begin to fire shots into the car, prompting Tory to rush out of the SUV to diffuse the situation.
On May 19, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna from Florida's 13th district called on California Governor Gavin Newsom to reconsider the 2020 shooting case involving the singer, urging him to grant a pardon.
Luna argued in her post on X that Lanez's conviction was founded on "flawed evidence and influenced by political pressure and prosecutorial bias." She emphasized the principle that "justice must be blind—not driven by headlines."
On May 20, Luna further announced that new "compelling evidence" would be unveiled within 36 hours, which she believed would prove Lanez's innocence.
She noted that those who had hastily called for the rapper's incarceration should be prepared for accountability due to the dissemination of false evidence.
During a recent press conference held by Lanez's representatives from the nonprofit organization Unite the People, attorney Walter Roberts presented what he described as new findings in the case.
Notably, he confirmed that an affidavit from Bradley James, Kelsey Harris' bodyguard, was in their possession. According to Robert, James, in his affidavit, claimed to have heard Harris admit to firing the weapon, hence suggesting that Lanez was not the shooter.
Following the feedback from Lanez's team, Megan's lawyers swung into action, reiterating that new evidence would do little to nothing to ease the rapper's sentence.
As shared by The Blast, Megan's lawyer, Alex Spiro, described the alleged evidence as mere rumors peddled as facts. Spiro explained that Lanez was convicted at trial based on overwhelming evidence, which included his admission of guilt.
The attorney added that the rapper and his team have been promoting a misleading narrative, often supported by individuals who are uninformed about the situation.
Spiro also dismissed reports of James being present at the shooting scene. He insisted that one simple truth still stands despite Lanez's team's shenanigans:
"He was convicted by overwhelming evidence, and those who seek to traumatize the victim of the crime should be called out as foolish bullies."
Nearly five years after news of the alleged shooting broke out, the rapper still grapples with the shadows of that unfortunate incident. Following the recent surge in discourses surrounding the event, Megan has been forced to defend herself from critics again.
In a recent TikTok post, Megan addressed her critics, expressing frustration over continually having to revisit the trauma of being shot by Lanez.
She questioned why the harassment persists and demanded that Lanez and his fans stop spreading false narratives about her experience. "Why is this happening EVERY DAY??" "TORY PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE you a f-cking demon," the rapper noted.
Megan emphasized her honesty regarding the incident, pointing out that Lanez's guilt had been established in court. She ended her message by urging Lanez to leave her alone and announced her departure from social media, calling the situation absurd.
May has been nothing short of explosive for both parties involved in the case. As noted by The Blast, the Canadian rapper survived a torturous prison stabbing episode that had him hospitalized.
His family and fans were seemingly concerned by the incident that occurred at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi. Now that he is recovering, his father confirmed that he was moved to a new correctional facility to ensure his safety further.
His dad, Sonstar Peterson, added that his transfer was an important part of prison protocol when a dangerous situation had happened.
The incident reportedly left Lanez with collapsed lungs, but his father's gratitude for his survival remained evident. Peterson reiterated his son's innocence in whatever led to his prison experience. According to him:
"Tory Lanez is the victim. He never provoked this incident in prison and anybody that knows him. in fact, I have met many people who went there to visit him, my wife and I, that will tell you that he is someone who is liked. He is not someone who is a troublemaker."
Will the agitations from Tory Lanez's camp hold enough water to sway the hands of justice?
