Tory Lanez Stabber Santino Casio Claims He Heard Rumours Rapper Planned To Attack Him

The man prison officials say stabbed Tory Lanez multiple times says he thought the rapper was coming to take his life, claiming Tory put a price on his head and he simply acted in self-defense. Santino Casio, who was already serving a life sentence when the Tory attack went down and, while he's not denying the stabbing, he says it's not as simple as some might think. Casio says he heard rumors through the prison grapevine that Tory had a bounty on him and, shortly after, Casio ran into him and thought he saw a suspicious lump in Tory's pocket. He says he thought it was a weapon  so, he jumped him, hit him and stabbed him 14 time yet Casio claims he wasn't trying to kill Tory the whole situation is unexpected, because he and Tory used to be cool having a decent relationship while they lived in neighboring cells at California Correctional Institution at Tehachapi. Casio also says he didn't walk away from the incident scot-free claiming he ended up with a stab wound in his leg, which is why he believes Tory had a weapon. As for whether he regrets his actions take a listen. Casio sounds a bit contrite, but he's definitely not fully apologizing. Lanez was stabbed 7 times in the back, 4 times in the torso and 3 times in the head earlier this month. He was rushed to a local hospital for treatment, but has since been returned to prison. Tory's legal team says, "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. They also maintain Tory's innocence, saying  "His continued confinement is both a miscarriage of justice and a threat to his safety. He must be released immediately.
