- 0:02Speaker 1: I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
- 0:04Speaker 1: and everybody. You don't know if you don't lie about that, right,
- 0:07Speaker 1: Lauren came in, Hey, guys, what's up. It's Laura de
- 0:11Speaker 1: Rosa and this is the latest with Laura de Rosa.
- 0:15Speaker 1: This is your Jeli dig on all things pop culture, entertainment,
- 0:18Speaker 1: news exclusives, and today we got a good Tory Lanes
- 0:21Speaker 1: exclusive and all of the conversations that shake the room.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Now hopping right on into the latest because I am
- 0:29Speaker 1: like powering through at this point. It has been a
- 0:33Speaker 1: long first day back after vacation. I want to get
- 0:36Speaker 1: right to the story. So earlier this morning on the
- 0:39Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, we talked a lot about Tory Lanez and
- 0:43Speaker 1: the hearing, the appeals hearing that his team recently had.
- 0:48Speaker 1: This went down on Monday. So this went down earlier
- 0:50Speaker 1: top of this week, and in the hearing which lasted
- 0:54Speaker 1: for some time, the arguments are very detailed. But I
- 0:58Speaker 1: watched the hearing, so I watched Tory Lanes attorney who
- 1:01Speaker 1: was working with Caesar and Mitchell McDowell, who are the
- 1:04Speaker 1: CEO and co founders of Unite the People, which is
- 1:07Speaker 1: the legal team that has been working with Tory Lanez.
- 1:09Speaker 1: And y'all remember Tory Lanez has switched lawyers. He's went
- 1:12Speaker 1: from Sean Holly and then he went to a second
- 1:14Speaker 1: legal team and now he has been working for some
- 1:17Speaker 1: time though, but he has been working with Unite the People.
- 1:19Speaker 1: So Laura el Capero stood before a panel of three judges.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Now these three judges all women. One judge is a
- 1:28Speaker 1: black woman. Heard Laura, who is you know up here
- 1:32Speaker 1: for Tory Lanez. They also got to hear arguments in
- 1:37Speaker 1: rebuttal of what Tory Lanez team is claiming was done
- 1:41Speaker 1: unfairly to him. So, just to summarize it really quickly,
- 1:44Speaker 1: Tory Lane's team had submitted two petitions already two courts,
- 1:49Speaker 1: and these petitions involved they were asking if they're able
- 1:53Speaker 1: to enter completely new evidence and a court said no.
- 1:57Speaker 1: They were also asking for just a completely new sty
- 2:00Speaker 1: and a judge said no. Now, this this is the
- 2:03Speaker 1: big conversation though, like this is the big boy. This
- 2:06Speaker 1: is the one that will determine whether or not Tory
- 2:09Speaker 1: Lanez get gets to walk or gets to retry some
- 2:12Speaker 1: of the issues or the things or the errors that
- 2:16Speaker 1: his team is claiming went down in the original megdae
- 2:19Speaker 1: stallion case all that time ago, after that house pool
- 2:22Speaker 1: party that they went to with Kylie Jenner. So they
- 2:24Speaker 1: are claiming, number one, that there's a DNA evidence that
- 2:27Speaker 1: was withhailed and that you know, they Tory Lane's team
- 2:30Speaker 1: did not get in time enough to respond to. They're
- 2:33Speaker 1: also alleging that Kelsey's testimony and the way that they
- 2:38Speaker 1: did not get to question Kelsey and investigate her claims
- 2:44Speaker 1: in a certain amount of time are just They're saying
- 2:46Speaker 1: it's unconstitutional. So it's something called US immunity. And I've
- 2:49Speaker 1: spoken to Tory Lanez's legal team and from what they're
- 2:53Speaker 1: explaining to me, their whole point is is that at
- 2:57Speaker 1: one point Kelsey was you know, she was able to
- 3:00Speaker 1: be questioned and all the things. Then she gets on
- 3:03Speaker 1: the stand once she decides to testify, and she's given immunity.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Not only is she given immunity for the testimony, but
- 3:08Speaker 1: she's also able to plead the fifth when it comes
- 3:11Speaker 1: to anybody being able to ask her different questions. So
- 3:15Speaker 1: Tory Lane's team is saying, look, that made her unavailable
- 3:17Speaker 1: to us, and that's constitutionally and based on the constitution,
- 3:23Speaker 1: that's just not right now. They're also saying here that
- 3:27Speaker 1: because of there's eleven different things that they have dissected
- 3:31Speaker 1: and broke apart and decided to present in front of
- 3:34Speaker 1: this panel of judges. But of the eleven, so, after
- 3:38Speaker 1: speaking to Caesar McDowell, who is one of the co
- 3:40Speaker 1: founders of Unite the People, which again is Tory Lanez's
- 3:43Speaker 1: team legal team, so he's leading Tory Lance's legal team,
- 3:46Speaker 1: McDowell actually tells me that of the full eleven things,
- 3:51Speaker 1: he believes strongly, like he will say one hundred percent
- 3:54Speaker 1: that Tory Lanez will be granted at least two to
- 3:58Speaker 1: three of the issues that they are asking for the
- 4:01Speaker 1: judge to see. And when I say granted, that means
- 4:04Speaker 1: either out of two to three of these things, a
- 4:08Speaker 1: judge will either fully exonerate Tory Lanez or a judge
- 4:12Speaker 1: will allow for a new trial to happen. Now, this
- 4:16Speaker 1: is according to the head attorney, the head of Unite
- 4:20Speaker 1: the People, Sesar McDowell. He says to me, beyond a
- 4:24Speaker 1: shout of a doubt, he believes that between two or
- 4:26Speaker 1: three of these things, specifically the things I mentioned, the
- 4:28Speaker 1: conversation about the DNA, the conversation about Kelsey's testimony and
- 4:32Speaker 1: how they allege that, you know, just constitution based on
- 4:36Speaker 1: the constitution, Toy's rights were violated. Toy will either be
- 4:40Speaker 1: exonerated and get to walk or he will allow to
- 4:43Speaker 1: he will be allowed to retry these different errors of
- 4:47Speaker 1: these conversations that they're bringing up. Now, that is a
- 4:49Speaker 1: strong statement. And I asked him, I said, are you
- 4:52Speaker 1: for sure that I can say that, like, because let's
- 4:56Speaker 1: just be honest here, y'all. Tory Lanes has been at
- 4:59Speaker 1: this fight for some time now. This is not a
- 5:02Speaker 1: new you know, Tory Lane just woke up last week
- 5:05Speaker 1: and say, hey, I want to fight and try and
- 5:07Speaker 1: get out of here and try to get Tory Lance
- 5:09Speaker 1: has been fighting since the moment he was convicted. He's
- 5:11Speaker 1: been convicted. He's facing ten years behind bars because of
- 5:15Speaker 1: the alleged shooting of or I mean, I don't got
- 5:18Speaker 1: to say alleged, because he was convicted. He was found
- 5:20Speaker 1: guilty of the shooting of Megtha Stallion. Now, I won't
- 5:22Speaker 1: go into too much detail about everything that their allegend
- 5:26Speaker 1: was done wrong, because we did talk about this briefly
- 5:28Speaker 1: on the Breakfast Club. But I do want to give
- 5:30Speaker 1: you guys an update exclusively. After talking to Caesaron dow So,
- 5:34Speaker 1: I also asked him, how does Tory Lanez think that
- 5:37Speaker 1: yesterday's big uppeal hearing went. He told me that he
- 5:41Speaker 1: believes Tory Lanez believes that this went well. That actually,
- 5:45Speaker 1: everybody in their legal can't believe yesterday went well. Now
- 5:49Speaker 1: I watch the full hearing and I'm not gonna you
- 5:52Speaker 1: know a lot of you guys. So, yeah, they had
- 5:54Speaker 1: their points and they presented a lot of information Tory
- 5:56Speaker 1: Lanez's team, but at the same time, the other side
- 6:00Speaker 1: I shot right back with the same amount of here's evidence,
- 6:04Speaker 1: here's information, here's what they could have done. And there
- 6:06Speaker 1: was a bit of a rebuttal after that. So Tory
- 6:09Speaker 1: Lanez's attorney, Laura, she got back up after those arguing
- 6:14Speaker 1: for Megdasalian or those arguing in favor to keep Tree
- 6:17Speaker 1: Lanez in jail, sat back down, and you know, she
- 6:19Speaker 1: just refuted the things that came back up. But i'ma
- 6:23Speaker 1: be honest with y'all, this argument is nothing different than
- 6:26Speaker 1: what we've heard in various different ways. I know that
- 6:30Speaker 1: there was a letter sent over to the judge a
- 6:32Speaker 1: while back, and this was around a time when Tory
- 6:35Speaker 1: Lanez decided that he didn't want to work with Sean
- 6:36Speaker 1: Holly anymore, who is a famed attorney who was representing him.
- 6:40Speaker 1: He mentioned, you know, just different things that he alleges
- 6:44Speaker 1: weren't allotted to him. Tory Lanez has tried to have
- 6:47Speaker 1: the conversation about the DNA for some time now as well.
- 6:51Speaker 1: These are not new arguments whatsoever. So to hear that
- 6:55Speaker 1: Tory Lanez thinks that this went well, to hear Susan
- 6:58Speaker 1: mcdal say, we are for certain that at least two
- 7:02Speaker 1: to three of these things will be granted, that is
- 7:05Speaker 1: a big statement. Now I did ask him, you know,
- 7:08Speaker 1: if these things are granted, what happens right away? And again,
- 7:12Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier, this is not the appeals conversation
- 7:17Speaker 1: where you know, it's just one thing that they're deciding on.
- 7:21Speaker 1: So a lot of people are confused as well because
- 7:23Speaker 1: the other two petitions that we've been talking about with
- 7:26Speaker 1: Tory Lanez that were not granted. Once those things were
- 7:29Speaker 1: taken off the table, people thought that Tory Lanez's ability
- 7:32Speaker 1: to appeal in general was just done. Those were one
- 7:35Speaker 1: issue conversation, so they were only asking and requesting one thing, Hey,
- 7:42Speaker 1: can we please submit new evidence? No? Hey, can we
- 7:46Speaker 1: please have a conversation about a different sentence? No, this
- 7:50Speaker 1: big conversation right here. There are eleven different things that
- 7:54Speaker 1: they're saying hey about, So this is the big one. Now.
- 7:57Speaker 1: I did ask as well, because I have been reading it.
- 7:59Speaker 1: From one what I read, this could take up to
- 8:01Speaker 1: ninety days to make a full decision about for that,
- 8:04Speaker 1: pan off judges, the three judges that come back and say, hey,
- 8:07Speaker 1: we have our decision and go through their you know,
- 8:10Speaker 1: breakdown of what their decisions are on each of the
- 8:13Speaker 1: eleven things. And from what I was told by Seusan McDowell,
- 8:16Speaker 1: they are all Tory Lanes's legal team are all very
- 8:20Speaker 1: confident that they'll hear back way less than ninety days,
- 8:23Speaker 1: that they'll actually hear back in max. Sixty days, And
- 8:26Speaker 1: to be honest with you, it sounds like they think
- 8:28Speaker 1: that it could even be a little bit sooner than that,
- 8:31Speaker 1: because that's just how confident they are and how they've
- 8:33Speaker 1: presented with their arguments or the errors that they're alleging
- 8:37Speaker 1: that were made in trial when Tory Lanes was convicted. Now, again,
- 8:43Speaker 1: this is one of those things where I mean any
- 8:47Speaker 1: attorney that you ask is going to tell you that
- 8:49Speaker 1: somebody like a Tory Lanez in a position he saying
- 8:52Speaker 1: because people keep saying, why is he wasting money on attorneys?
- 8:55Speaker 1: Why is he wasting his time on attorneys? Why is
- 8:57Speaker 1: he wasting his time, money, energy on even thinking that
- 9:01Speaker 1: anything will be overturned, that he'll be able to come
- 9:03Speaker 1: home the evidence was there. Anybody's gonna tell you if
- 9:07Speaker 1: you're in a position like Tory Lanez is in, you
- 9:09Speaker 1: just fight until you can't fight anymore. You try and
- 9:12Speaker 1: bring things to people's attention and all the ways that
- 9:15Speaker 1: you can. And again, these are not new arguments. I
- 9:18Speaker 1: think people are paying more attention now because Tory Lanez has,
- 9:22Speaker 1: you know, official documents in court asking for these things
- 9:26Speaker 1: to be paid attention to. But since the moment he
- 9:29Speaker 1: was convicted, this man has been saying he did not
- 9:31Speaker 1: do it. Now. I don't know how y'all feel, y'all
- 9:34Speaker 1: gotta let me know in the comments. Please take it
- 9:36Speaker 1: to the streets, in the tweets. Be outside, we outside,
- 9:39Speaker 1: we outside outside. Do y'all feel like Tory Lanez has
- 9:44Speaker 1: a shot? And surprisingly enough, you know, the tides change,
- 9:48Speaker 1: y'all know how people get. It's like, one minute y'all
- 9:50Speaker 1: feel one way, to the next minute y'all feel another.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Because I remember when you know, all of this first
- 9:57Speaker 1: kicked off and the verdict came down, and you know,
- 10:01Speaker 1: you had so many people having a different conversations, and
- 10:04Speaker 1: you know, different celebrities coming out in support a toy
- 10:07Speaker 1: or in support and support of Megan and blah blah blah.
- 10:09Speaker 1: People were very clear what side they stood on. People
- 10:13Speaker 1: feeling like he shot her were very very loud, people
- 10:17Speaker 1: who've I e. There was a lot of people on
- 10:19Speaker 1: the other side, and this is what Megan Na Stallion
- 10:23Speaker 1: talks about a lot and also has had to put
- 10:25Speaker 1: orders in court about a lot. There are a lot
- 10:27Speaker 1: of people on the opposite side that are leging that
- 10:30Speaker 1: Meg thee Stallion is lying about who shot her and
- 10:33Speaker 1: does not know who shot her. I want to know
- 10:35Speaker 1: how y'all feel, you know again, Caesar McDowell, the head
- 10:39Speaker 1: of Unite the people who was leading Tory Lanez's legal strategy,
- 10:43Speaker 1: for him to say to me that they believe that
- 10:46Speaker 1: at least two to three of these major topics will
- 10:50Speaker 1: be granted in Tory's favor, meaning he could either be
- 10:53Speaker 1: retried or he completely walk. That is a huge statement.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Let me know what y'all think. Take it to the streets,
- 11:01Speaker 1: take it to the sweets. Let me know what y'all think.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Does Tory Lanes walk on any of these charges? After
- 11:07Speaker 1: listening to what you guys listen to today, what was presented?
- 11:11Speaker 1: I want to know
