Lanez’s lawyers continued with their calls for the rapper to be released from prison as a result of his stabbing though they admitted they had not formally petitioned governor Newsome.
Megan’s attorney, Alex Spiro, blasted the press conference, saying in a statement: “Tory Lanez was tried and convicted by a jury of his peers and his case was properly adjudicated through the court system. This is not a political matter — this is a case of a violent assault that was resolved in the court of law.”
