Ahead of his hearing next month in an effort to get a new trial, rapper Tory Lanez has shared an open letter addressed to Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, once again claiming his innocence in the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.
“Today I take a stance as an innocent Black man, wrongfully convicted of a crime I did not commit,” Lanez wrote in the letter, shared on Instagram. “I’ve watched 2 district attorneys from your office by the names of Kathy Ta and Alex Bott unlawfully misuse their authority to hide and suppress any and all exculpatory evidence that exonerates me, or furthers my innocence. I was completely robbed and deprived of a fair trial.”
Lanez is scheduled to argue a motion for a new trial on May 8. He claims that the prosecution “manipulated a false narrative” against him, which has left him “with no choice but to expose, and make aware, the practices, the behind the door deals, and unjust system” that he believes “illegally” convicted him. In the caption, he suggested there’s evidence that the prosecution deliberately obfuscated.
