<p>Alex Washington exclusively told The Shade Room that a judge ruled that forensic analysis experts would be able to testify on behalf of the rapper and support his claims of self-defense in the June 2020 fatal shooting of a local Louisiana man, which is something the rapper claimed when he was questioned by police.</p>
<blockquote><p>Hurricane Chris actions were in self-defense and justified. Today, the court ruled to allow our Forensic analysis expert to testify at trial.</p></blockquote>
<p>His statement continued:</p>
<blockquote><p>He will allow the second expert to testify once we provide a written report to the State. Both experts will assist in proving that Hurricane Chris actions were reasonable and justified. The February 1 date will clear up any small issues.</p></blockquote>
