I was Dusty’s cellmate for a few years and being around him and listening and talking to him for a few years changed my life! Since I was about 13 the longest I ever stayed out of incarceration was about 8 months and I’m now going on 5 years out of prison and drug and alcohol free! This man is a great person and deserves to have his freedom! Please let my friend out so he can enjoy the rest of his life! He’s worth it!
Lil Shine brightened my life with his art in the darkest times, I would love to see him free and prosper onward so he can continue to release beautiful music freely. Lil Shine knew what he did was wrong and he was very honest and transparent with his fans, the fact that he was able to do that shows that deep down he truly cares for his people and his fans care about him deeply as well, and thats more than a lot of these industry owned artists could say about their fans. I believe Lil Shine should be free #FREESHINE
I honestly believe Yolanda Saldívar needs to stay in prison, it's were she belongs!! She killed a beautiful soul for no reason, has no remorse for what she did!! As a Selena fan , I will be Selenas voice!!! Keep her in prison!!!
As a musician, this has greatly impacted my life. I no longer have the desire to create in fear of my life. Knowing how the higher ups in the industry have treated Tory. In order for me to release this fear and regain my confedence, I need this innocent man to be released from prison. I have lost my faith in the justice system and it's integrity or lack there of.
For someone who could impact me so deeply, & be rotting in prison is not what i imagined for Tory "DAYSTAR PETERSON" Lanez. Everything he attributed to me, culture, the world etc wasn’t just sound—it was a lifeline, a reminder that no matter how dark life gets, there’s always hope. Daystar Peterson’s story is now overshadowed by a system that seems to have prioritized headlines over truth. I fear that if justice isn't served effective & efficiently, that I along with the rest of the millions of people that love him will never see Daystar return and/or return the same beautiful soul we knew him as before. Governor Newsom, justice is about fairness, not popularity, facts & not rumors. Please take another look at this case with a heavy heart for the truth & an open mind for possibilities. This country prides itself on being the HOME OF THE FREE, & although some don't deserve that liberty; but with Daystar there's unacknowledged evidence that backs this is not the case.
