CBS News provided this statement from one of the Tate attorneys:

“The ruling issued by the preliminary chamber judge lacks legal basis and reasoning,” Eugen Vidineac, one of the brothers’ lawyers, said after the decision.

“We have filed a strong appeal as we believe the ruling to be unlawful.”

Tate continues to maintain his innocence and recently wrote: “When you’re an actual sexual predator this is how the Matrix treats you. Kid gloves. They protect the predators and lie about anyone who tells the truth.”
