Tory Lanez’s legal battle took a dramatic new turn on May 29, when his team launched a website—36hourslater.com—claiming to reveal key evidence overlooked in the 2020 shooting case involving Megan Thee Stallion.
The website features never-before-seen video, audio, and a 35-page presentation that his attorneys say supports Tory’s long-standing claims of innocence.
What’s in the Newly Released Material?
The documents include:
- Testimony from an independent eyewitness who allegedly told investigators that “the girls were fighting” and that it was “a girl” who fired the g*n, not a man.
- New video and audio clips from the night of the shooting.
- Expert analysis disputing the timeline and forensic evidence presented during trial.
Tory’s legal team argues that this evidence contradicts the prosecution’s case and raises serious doubts about the conviction.

Background: A High-Profile Trial
Tory Lanez, real name Daystar Peterson, was convicted in December 2022 on three felony charges related to the July 2020 shooting. He was later sentenced to 10 years in prison and is currently serving time, recently transferred to a new facility.
Throughout the case, Tory has maintained his innocence, claiming he was wrongly accused and convicted.
Public Strategy or Legal Play?
According to his team, the purpose of 36hourslater.com is full transparency: to give the public access to what they believe is “critical evidence” that was ignored or suppressed during the trial.
They hope the new materials will:
- Shift public perception,
- Strengthen support for his appeal, and
- Highlight flaws in the criminal justice process.
