Tory Lanez opened up for the primary time from behind bars a couple of potential authorized breakthrough and a renewed push to overturn his conviction within the Megan Thee Stallion capturing case.

The rapper says he has newly surfaced proof that his staff says was by no means handed over throughout the trial.

Speaking from California Men’s Colony in San Luis Obispo throughout an interview with NBC News, the Canadian rapper stated, “I believe not only that I was wrongfully convicted, but the amount of new evidence that has emerged since that trial, I think, has been overwhelming.”

Lanez’s attorneys are making ready to file a contemporary attraction with the California Supreme Court, arguing that key forensic proof, particularly bullet fragments allegedly faraway from Megan’s foot, was by no means turned over to the protection.

The declare facilities on a Brady violation, a authorized customary requiring prosecutors to reveal all probably exculpatory proof to the protection.

Attorney Crystal Morgan stated the lacking fragments have been documented in a pathology report from Cedars Sinai Medical Center. According to her, the report states the fragments have been positioned in proof baggage and handed to hospital safety.

“It’s missing from our date-stamped official copy of evidence from the criminal trial, which is significant because this particular piece of paper says that they remove fragments and place them in bags and gave them to a security guard that works at Cedars Sinai,” Morgan stated.

The report surfaced throughout a separate defamation lawsuit filed by Megan in opposition to blogger Milagro Gramz.

Gramz’s lawyer uncovered the July 14, 2020, doc, which refers to a hospital safety worker retrieving an proof bag containing a “foreign body.”

Lanez, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison after his December 2022 conviction on charges including assault with a semiautomatic firearm and possession of an unregistered loaded firearm, insists the trial unfairly portrayed him.

“When I talk about my case, I don’t want it to be taken as me coming at her, because it’s not that,” he stated. “I’m just asking for somebody in the system to look at my case and look at the evidence and ask if this was fair.”

Last month, the California Second District Court of Appeals rejected Lanez’s preliminary attraction, stating there was “no ineffective assistance of counsel or prejudicial trial court error.”

His authorized staff is now hoping the state’s highest courtroom will contemplate the newly found proof. Lanez can be in search of clemency or a pardon from California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Meanwhile, Megan has continued to talk publicly in regards to the emotional toll the case has taken, and beforehand secured a restraining order in opposition to Lanez, alleging he was utilizing third events to harass her from jail.
