Tory Lanez Reportedly Hires Defense Attorney Jose Baez, Who Famously Freed Casey Anthony & Aaron Hernandez From Murder Charges
Last week, we shared that Tory had dropped all of his attorneys from the first case after he was found guilty in the shooting. Now, he’s gearing up for an appeal.
In addition to powerhouse attorneys David Kenner (who previously represented both Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight in the ‘90s) and Matthew Barhoma, Tory has now reportedly hired the defense attorney who famously got Casey Anthony off the hook in her child murder case.
Baez has also represented several other notable clients, like deceased football player Aaron Hernandez — who took his own life in the middle of filing an appeal for his conviction in the murder of Odin Lloyd.
Prior to Hernandez’s death, Baez successfully got him acquitted in a separate double murder case that he had been charged for.
Tory Lanez is currently facing 22 years in prison, and possible deportation. Since hiring his new defense team for his appeal, the rapper’s sentencing court date has been pushed back until February 28.
