Gianno Caldwell is speaking in Tory Lanez’s defense after his stabbing incident. Caldwell concluded on air that former Los Angeles D.A. George Gascón pushed through Lanez’s case despite having insufficient evidence. Tory Lanez received a 10-year prison sentence following a 2022 conviction for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet. Cladwell claims the prosecution didn’t follow due process and mishandled the case.
Gianno Caldwell Accuses Former D.A. Of Railroading Tory Lanez Case
Fox News analyst Gianno Caldwell recently weighed in on Tory Lanez’s case during The Big Weekend Show on May 17. He claimed he had studied the musician’s case for six months to publish an op-ed with a news outlet. Caldwell delivered his verdict, alleging that George Gascón, the former Los Angeles D.A., “railroaded” Lanez. For the unversed, railroading a legal case means to “convict with undue haste and by means of false charges or insufficient evidence.” The political analyst said:
“The artist known as Tory Lanez is currently recovering after being stabbed in prison. The attack occurred after The New York Post made contact with Megan Thee Stallion’s team regarding an op-ed that I was working on with them, and Lanez was then stabbed, days later. But his representatives claimed that Megan’s ex-best friend, Kelsey Harris, is the one responsible for the shooting.”
He added, “Now, I’ve been looking into this case for almost 6 months now, and I immediately learned that George Gascon, the prosecutor, railroaded Tory Lanez. And I’ve been actively working on this, working on this story, and this has been something that is quite a movement.”
Gianno Caldwell Claimed Tory Lanez Suffered Injustice
Prior to his time on the May 17 episode on Fox News, Gianno Caldwell also queried Tory Lanez’s sentencing. At the May 14 press conference organized by the singer’s team, he supported the rapper. Caldwell claimed the court denied Tory Lanez a fair trial,” per Hot 97.
“Mr. Peterson was never given a fair trial, free from bias, political interference and media-driven pressure,” he said.
Caldwell also criticized George Gascón’s handling of the case and his attitude toward Kelsey Harris at the press conference. He asked why Harris, Megan’s former best friend, was able to plead the Fifth Amendment during her testimony. This happened despite her not being accused of any crime. The press conference followed Tory Lanez’s accident, where a fellow inmate at the California Correctional Center stabbed him 14 times. His legal team is claiming Harris, not their client, shot Megan in July 2020.
Meanwhile, Megan’s attorney, Alex Spiro, has responded to the claims of an unfair trial, calling them baseless. He insisted that the conviction and sentencing followed due process.
