Florida Congresswoman Demands Tory Lanez Be Pardoned—Calls Trial Unfair and Politically Charged

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is turning heads and shaking tables after demanding a full pardon for rapper Tory Lanez, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison after being convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020.

The Florida lawmaker didn’t just post a few words of support. She formally called on California Governor Gavin Newsom to intervene—arguing Tory’s trial was filled with legal missteps, missing evidence, and straight-up bias.

Luna claims the prosecution violated Lanez’s right to a fair trial in several ways. According to her, key DNA evidence was completely used up by the prosecution before Lanez’s team had a chance to test it themselves. She also says evidence was shared too late for a proper defense and that the case was heavily influenced by public pressure and media noise.

Even deeper, Luna believes this wasn’t just a messy trial—it was a constitutional disaster. In her detailed statement, she claims multiple amendments were violated, including:

• The First Amendment, by using Tory’s lyrics against him.

• The Sixth Amendment, with limits placed on his ability to confront key witnesses.

• The Fourteenth Amendment, which she says was compromised by potential racial bias in sentencing enhancements.

She’s calling on Newsom to step in, review the case, and issue a pardon—saying justice can’t be selective, and that every citizen deserves a trial based on facts, not fame or feelings.

But here’s the other side of the timeline: Megan Thee Stallion has remained firm in her testimony that Lanez shot her. The court sided with her, and the conviction reflects that. Luna’s stance isn’t about erasing Megan’s voice—it’s about whether the legal system followed its own rules.

Tory’s legal team is already pushing to appeal the conviction, and now with political power getting involved, the case is taking on a whole new level of heat.

One thing’s for sure: this isn’t just courtroom drama anymore—it’s legal, political, and personal.
