George Floyd Death: Thomas Lane Lawyer Blames Public

Earl Gray, Thomas Lane's lawyer, made an appearance on CNN last night and spoke on his client's defense and case.

Drake has already issued his take on this interview between Thomas Lane's lawyer and CNN host Chris Cuomo, but there's quite a bit more to unpack from it.

Lane, one of the four police officers responsible for the death of George Floyd, had his lawyer, Earl Gray conduct an interview with Chris Cuomo where they discussed Lane's defense and the case. The interview resulted in a few incendiary remarks on Gray's side.

Gray attempted to flip things so that was it the public's fault that Floyd died, which Cuomo stopped immediately to counter. "If the public is there and they're so in an uproar about this, they didn't intercede either," Gray said, referring to those who witnessed and filmed the murder. 

"I understand that he has a senior officer telling him what to do, but he also has a duty to intervene," Cuomo said. "The idea that the civilians should have rushed in to a policing situation in the inner city of Minneapolis against four police officers that have weapons and are kneeling on the kneck of a man- don't you think that's asking too much of civilians and a little too little of your client?"

Gray doesn't seem to have anything else to say in response to Cuomo's remarks but agree. "Absolutely," he said before stumbling over his words, "I just brought that up..." You can watch this particular clip in the tweet below.

Elsewhere in the interview, Gray cited the fact that it was only Lane's fourth full day on the job, and Chauvin was his senior training officer. He also referenced the fact that Lane suggested they roll Floyd over on his side, which Chauvin ignored. 

"What's telling, what's compelling, is when the ambulance comes, my client goes in the ambulance," Gray said. "Four days on the force, goes in the ambulance and starts his own CPR, pushing down on the chest, which he did for a lengthy period of time, until he got the machine up, attempting to revive Mr. Floyd."

As we reported on earlier, Lane is apparently soliciting donations from the public in his court fight.

Trouble Defends Romance With Attorney: "Stop Playin Wit My Wife Name"

Trouble recently revealed that he's in a new relationship, and after people spread rumors about how they met, he hopped on Twitter to come to her defense.

We may remember a time when Trouble was romantically linked to Alexis Skyy, but it seems that he has a new lady in his life. The rapper recently took to his Instagram to share photos of his woman, a rumored defense attorney named Nicole Moorman who reportedly previously worked for Lil Durk. Trouble looked happy and in love as he boasted about his romance, but people were quick to make accusations that he was somehow with her because of her career.

On Thursday (May 21), Trouble took to Twitter to pen a few frustrated messages to those who have decided to run with gossip about his "wife." He wrote, "I dont giva damn Bout what noBody thinks, But at the same time what yall Blogs n sh*t aint gon do is disrespect my woman’s morality. The respect I got for her stems from the respect she has for herself! She was NEVER my lawyer. So NO, the lawyer didn’t fall in love with a client," the rapper tweeted. "If u aint heard it from the actual person people speakin on, yall gotta learn to stop just runnin wit sh*t an sprayin it!.. Unless yo dream is to work for Tmz or some sh*t.. Where da fukk do yall even Be komin up wit some of these stories ??‍♂️."

He later added that he doesn't owe anyone an explanation of how he and Nicole met, but it certainly didn't have anything to do with her professional life. "Da stories im hearin dont even make sense. Bitxh I aint Been locked up in foreva an dont plan on goin Bakk eitha!" Trouble continued. "So how da fukk would I have Been in relations wit 'my lawyer' ? Stop playin wit me an stop playin wit my wife name! I watch her day an night go tooooo hard for everyBody she and her team represents.. Dats why they all Be komin home from what I see. For street nggaz dats all we kare Bout." Trouble reiterated that he's proud of his "wife" for all that she does and he's going to defend her whenever he feels as if the truth isn't being told. Check out all of Trouble's tweets below.
