Megan Thee Stallion attorney responds to Tory Lanez's alleged new evidence

Megan Thee Stallion’s legal team has responded to recent attempts by Tory Lanez’s defense to introduce what they claim is new evidence in the 2020 shooting incident involving the rapper. Lanez’s team launched a website featuring bodycam footage and a witness statement suggesting that Megan’s former friend, Kelsey Harris, was the shooter. Last week, Lanez’s bodyguard made similar claims, fueling confusion around the case. In an official statement, Megan’s attorney Alex Spiro dismissed these developments as misleading and inconsistent. “Tory Lanez's team can’t keep a story straight,” Spiro said. “Last week, they claimed Kelsey shot Megan; now they’re saying Megan stepped on glass.” He emphasized that this so-called new evidence is merely recycled trial material repackaged to sway public opinion. Alongside the new evidence claims, political figures have also entered the debate. Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna recently voiced support for Lanez and pledged to advocate for his release. Spiro criticized her involvement, accusing her of using the case for online attention instead of focusing on her constituents. “She should focus on serving her own state rather than chasing celebrities,” he said. Megan’s legal team has countered the claims with a detailed presentation, reaffirming that no new evidence has emerged since Lanez’s 2022 conviction. They pointed to key trial evidence including text messages from Lanez apologizing shortly after the incident, Ring camera audio capturing five gunshots previously presented to the jury, and DNA evidence showing a 90% probability that male DNA on the firearm belonged to Lanez. Additionally, both Megan and Kelsey Harris testified under oath that Lanez offered them each $1 million in hush money following the shooting. Megan’s team insists the facts have been thoroughly examined and proven in court. Lanez, recently transferred to a Northern California prison, is recovering after being stabbed multiple times. Despite ongoing conspiracy theories from his camp, Megan’s legal team remains confident in the strength of the case and the verdict.
