Tory Lanez in the ongoing court case over the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion has been delayed.Last night (August 7), a hearing was held at a court in Los Angeles, California, where Lanez was meant to be charged after being found guilty in December last year.

Tory Lanez has shared an open letter in which he asks for a new trial after he was found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in July 2020.The rapper’s lawyers Jose Baez and Matthew Barhoma filed a motion for a new trial last month, citing multiple grounds for re-trial in paperwork seen by Rolling Stone. Among the arguments is a claim that the judge in the trial, which wrapped last December, barred a fair trial by “erroneously” allowing jurors to view a social media post in which it was alleged that Thee Stallion’s now-estranged best friend Kelsey Harris was not the shooter.Now, Lanez has had his own say on the matter. The letter, addressed to Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, makes several accusations against Deputy District Attorneys Kathy Ta and Alex Bott, including the allegation that they unlawfully misused their authority to “hide and suppress any and all exculpatory evidence that exonerates me, or furthers my innocence”.The motion Lanez’s lawyers filed made no reference to any notion of withholding evidence.A post shared by FARGO’S CRAZY LIFE (@torylanez)“Dear George Gascón, I write this message with the utmost humility, love and respect for the remarkable stance you’ve taken in regards to fighting for the justice of Black and Brown minorities,” the letter began.“Today I take a stance as an innocent Black man, wrongfully convicted of a crime I did NOT commit.
