Just hours after Tory Lanez’s attorney, Jose Baez, announced that his team would be releasing new information the rapper’s DNA in his Megan Thee Stallion shooting case, a jail phone call from Lanez dropped. During the call, he claims that prosecutors in his case lied about his DNA being on the gun that was fired.
Tory Lanez Claims Prosecutors Lied About His DNA Being ON The Gun In Megan Thee Stallion Shooting Case
Prior to Attorney Jose Baez’s announcement on Tuesday afternoon (April 25), four days prior, an open letter was posted to Tory Lanez’s Instagram account — in it, he addressed the Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, and demanded for a new trial.
He also shared a phone call from behind bars calling out Deputy District Attorneys Kathy Ta and Alex Bott for “unlawfully misusing their authority to hide and suppress exculpatory evidence” to exonerate him.
Now four days later, as promised earlier in the day, another portion of that call from behind bars has been released calling out the two D.A.s for allegedly lying about Lanez’s DNA results.
Lanez stated, “I’ve been incarcerated for almost half a year over a gun that the D.A.s lied and said I shot. In 2021 they demanded that I take a DNA test. I took that test with no pushback, delay or question. Not only because I knew that I never shot the gun. But, because mainly I was 100% positive that I never even touched this gun. In my trial, the verdict of guilty or innocent depended heavily on my DNA results. With the help of L.A. Crime Labs DNA expert Randy Zepeda, D.A. Kathy Ta, and Alex Bott completely manipulated my DNA results, and lied to the world, the media, and most importantly my jury — by stating that my DNA on the gun was inconclusive. That was an absolute lie.”
Lanez added, “They went on further to say that ‘inconclusive means that he cannot be excluded from the gun.’ My new attorney Jose Baez hired one of the best DNA experts in the nation to carefully analyze the same DNA test, the fair and correct way. The results came back exactly as I knew this whole time. My DNA is 100% excluded and 100% eliminated from the gun. In other words, it’s physically and scientifically impossible for me to ever touched or shot this gun.”
Lanez continued, “After the correct and careful analyzation of my DNA testing, not only did our expert find my DNA 100% excluded and non-existent on the gun, but what’s worse was the invalid and illegal tactics the prosecution chose to attain the results used to convict me.Based on the fundamentals of my DNA test, the only possible way for the L.A. Crime Lab to come up with an inconclusive result, would literally be to stop the testing before its finished or completed final result. Which would have and should have shown completely my full exclusion on the weapon.”
Lanez concluded, “In other words, District Attorney Kathy Ta and Alex Bott lied to my jury with false, incorrect and incomplete DNA results, violating my due process and my 14th Amendment right. My faith, my prayers and my highest hopes go to the honorable Judge Harriford, that on May 8, he rules in favor of the United States Supreme Court law returning me to my freedom, my family and most importantly, the justice of a fair trial.”
