In an unexpected turn of events, Tory Lanez’s legal team has introduced a new claim suggesting that the rapper did not shoot Megan Thee Stallion. Just days after a violent incident in prison, this could be a major development in Lanez’s ongoing legal battle.
Lanez, sentenced to 10 years for the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion, might have a new lifeline. During a press conference, his attorneys presented information from a man named Bradley James, who they claim was a bodyguard for Kelsey Harris, a witness at the trial.
James reportedly stated that he overheard Harris admitting to the shooting, not Lanez. However, James has neither spoken publicly nor testified during the trial itself, which raises questions about the timing and validity of these claims.
Despite this new claim, Megan Thee Stallion’s attorney, Alex Spiro, was quick to dismiss it. He stood firm in the conviction, stating it was a legal matter decided by a jury and not open to political influence.
Simultaneously, Lanez is recovering from a serious incident in prison. He was stabbed 14 times, causing both of his lungs to collapse. Yet, he’s shown resilience and is now breathing without assistance.
The suspect in the attack, Santino Casio, is no stranger to violence. Serving a life sentence for murder, he was also previously punished for assaulting another inmate. While his reasons for attacking Lanez remain unclear, an investigation is ongoing.
Lanez’s legal team is pressing for his release, though they haven’t officially petitioned California’s governor. His recent stabbing adds a physical and emotional toll to his legal struggles, potentially garnering public sympathy.
As Tory Lanez continues to recover from his injuries, the new claims could change the narrative of his legal battle. However, without formal testimony from James, this remains a contentious issue. The legal and public arenas now wait to see how these claims impact Lanez’s fight for freedom.
