He is still awaiting sentencing. “Until my court date I’ll be posting the OUTRAGEOUS & DISGUSTING INJUSTICES used against me by the PROSECUTION to get the conviction they so DESPERATELY wanted, DESPITE the evidence they knew existed,” Lanez captioned his post. “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,” he said in his open letter. “Today I take a stance as an innocent Black Man, wrongfully convicted of a crime I DID not commit.

I’ve watched 2 district attorneys from your office by the names of Kathy Ta and Alex Bott unlawfully misuse their authority to hide and suppress any and all exculpatory evidence that exonerates me, or furthers my innocence.

I was completely robbed and deprived of a fair trial,” he continued. “On May 8th, my lawyers will be arguing a motion for a new trial,” Lanez said, going on to claim, “For 3 years, the prosecution has manipulated a false narrative, that has left me with no choice but to expose, and make aware, the practices, the behind door deals, and the unjust system used to illegally convict me and countless other minorities.” READ MORE: Megan Thee Stallion Talks Tory Lanez Shooting: ‘I View Myself As A Survivor’ Addressing the D.A., he wrote, “We
