Tory Lanez further expressed frustration over suppressed evidence during his trial, asserting that DNA tests excluded him from the firearm used in the incident.

“It’s honestly a bunch of suppressed evidence that was kept away from me during trial. Like, through trial they keep saying it was inconclusive on the gun DNA, but I always knew I never touched the gun, so I asked my lawyer to retest it. And sure enough… I was a 102% excluded completely, from everything just like I said”
