More people are now getting behind the call for Tory Lanez’s freedom amid claims of his innocence. U.S. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna joined the crew earlier this week. She called on California Governor Gavin Newsom to pardon the rapper a week after he was stabbed in prison. Luna claimed she had evidence that could prove Tory Lanez’s innocence beyond a doubt and promised to release it soon.
U.S. Congresswoman Says She Has Evidence To Prove Tory Lanez’s Innocence
Republican Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna is calling for Tory Lanez freedom amid the declaration of his innocence. She said she has evidence to back her claims and asked California Governor Gavin Newsom to pardon Lanez. Earlier this week, Luna took to Instagram and Twitter to demand for the rapper’s freedom. She also shared a link to a petition with over 260,000 signatures, calling for Newsom to pardon Tory Lanez. The Caldwell Institute for Public Safety created the petition after the singer was stabbed.
“I am calling on Gov. Newsom @CAgovernor to review Tory Lanez’s case and issue a pardon,” Luna wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “His 10-year sentence was based on flawed evidence, political pressure, and prosecutorial bias. The evidence speaks for itself! He is an innocent man that had been wrongly incarcerated! Justice must be blind! Free Tory Lanez.”
The Congresswoman then referred to the evidence Tory Lanez’s legal team claimed they have to prove his innocence. Shs said the evidence led to many people signing the petition for Lanez’s pardon. She also promised it would be released shortly. “We have compelling evidence proving Tory Lanez’s innocence, and it will be released within the next 36 hours. Those who rushed to call for his incarceration, and worse yet pushed false evidence, should prepare to be held accountable,” she wrote.
Congresswoman Questions Tory Lanez’s Conviction
Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna further made a case for Tory Lanez’s innocence in more posts on X. She questioned the forensic evidence and other judicial factors involved in the singer’s conviction and sentencing.
“The forensic evidence in the Lanez case was deeply flawed,” Luna said, listing the issues she identified, adding, “This raises serious doubt.” In another post made an hour ago, the Congresswoman concluded, “Tory Lanez’s defense was denied full access to DNA evidence. Entire samples were used up by the prosecution before defense testing. Reports weren’t shared until just before trial. That’s a violation of due process.”
Tory Lanez’s Legal Team Alleges Intentional Threat To Life
Two days after Tory Lanez stabbing, his lawyers said they had acquired new evidence to prove his innocence. Unite the People (UTP), a nonprofit focused on legal advocacy, held a press conference hinged on a statement from Kelsey Harris’ bodyguard, Bradley James. James was the former driver and bodyguard of Megan’s ex-best friend, Kelsey Harris. James claimed he overheard Harris admitting that she fired the weapon Megan accused Lanez of firing. He said Harris confessed that Lanez intervened to stop her.
The calls for Tory Lanez’s pardon and freedom grew after the press conference. Lanez’s lawyers also questioned Megan Thee Stallion and her team’s involvement in their client’s brutal stabbing. “When evidence was about to come to light, Tory was nearly killed,” they said, per BroBible. A X account added, “Tory Lanez was stabbed 14 times just days after a major national news outlet was preparing to release a piece on new evidence in his case. It came immediately after they contacted opposing parties.”
Meanwhile, UTP’s legal consultant, Walter Roberts, noted that James’ testimony confirms Sean Kelly’s account of what transpired in court. Kelly was the only non-involved eyewitness, and his testimony pointed at Harris as the likely suspect. Roberts also shared his concerns about the judicial process that saw Lanez in prison. He questioned why authorities only tested the rapper for DNA among all the parties present on the night of the shooting. Moreover, forensic checks revealed unknown DNA on the gun.
Megan Thee Stallion Responds To Claims Of Tory Lanez’s Innocence
Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion has responded to the calls for Tory Lanez’s freedom and the claims of his innocence. She shared a post on TikTok asking, “At what point are yall gonna stop making me have to re live being shot BY TORY !? At what point are Tory and yall FANS gonna stop lying ? Like how much is the check to keep harassing me? Why is this happening EVERY DAY?”
She continued, “One min him/ yall said I was never shot now yall letting him play in yall face AGAIN and say I was shot but it wasn’t him oh okay… ?!” She concluded by calling Lanez a “f***king demon” and asking him to leave her alone.
Congresswoman Luna’s lending of her voice to those insisting on Tory Lanez’s innocence adds more weight to his case. However, as many have pointed out, until the evidence is presented in court, the support and claims mean nothing.
