In a conversation with TMZ, Tory’s legal team had said, “The recent attempt on his life was savage and ferocious, underscoring the clear and present danger he faces while incarcerated. Any claim to the contrary particularly from an individual serving a life sentence for heinous crimes is not only baseless but an absurd fabrication. His continued confinement is both a miscarriage of justice and a threat to his safety. He must be released immediately.”
