Tory Lanez’s Lawyer and Trial Reporter Argue Over Rapper’s Appeal

Tory Lanez‘s shooting case continues to be a hot-button topic as the rapper’s attorney and trial reporter go at it over Tory being prioritized ahead of the lawyer’s Italy vacation.

Tory Lanez’s Lawyer Calls Out Trial Reporter Over Her Reporting

On Friday (Aug. 25), journalist Meghann Cuniff, who has been covering the Tory Lanez shooting case from the very beginning, hopped on Twitter to give her followers an update on the rapper’s case thus far. In her tweet she wrote: “2+ weeks since Tory Lanez’s lawyer Jose Baez said he’d file a motion to bail Lanez out of jail as he appeals his convictions and 10-year prison sentence. No motion has been filed, and I’m not sure how much of a priority it is for Baez: He’s posting Instagram stories from Italy.”
While the tweet looks innocent enough, Tory’s attorney, Jose Baez took offense and called out the journalist for what he perceived as her biased reporting.

On Saturday (Aug. 26), Baez went on his Instagram Story and lashed out at Cuniff. In his message, the lawyer called Cuniff a “blogger” and wrote that her reporting on Tory’s case was biased and had no value.

“It has been brought to my attention that a blogger has claimed that Tory Lanez is not a priority because I’m allegedly in Italy,” he wrote in one message. “For the record I travel to Italy 2 to 4 times a year. I have both business interests as well as clients who have business in Italy.”

“This blogger has a clear bias against Tory and has attacked everyone associated with him as well as made numerous inaccurate assumptions,” he continued. “In fairness to her, she has no legal training and has never worked in the court system, so her opinions have little to no merit whatsoever.”

Baez also posted an image of a fake Meghann Cuniff Twitter account called “Meghan Cuniff Is a Drunk” and her real Twitter page and wrote in the caption that he didn’t know which one of them is her real account.

Finally, Baez posted a message informing Tory Lanez’s fans that his appeal on the rapper’s guilty verdict is ahead of schedule and he’s waiting for the court reporter to complete all the transcripts from the trial. Baez added that Tory is exploring all legal strategies that are at his disposal.

Cuniff caught wind of Baez’s acidic messages towards her and took the high road with her response.

“Ignoring the unprofessional comments, the takeaway from Jose Baez’s Instagram stories today is he’s no longer sure if he’ll file a motion for bail pending Lanez’s appeal: ‘As for other motions, Tory is evaluating ALL of his options,'” she tweeted.
