Last month Canadian rapper Tory Lanez attorney announced that DNA evidence would lead to Tory's conviction, for shooting Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion, being overturned [click here if you missed that].
Today Tory is expected to make an appearance in court while his legal team pleads for a new trial...
From WHIO
Tory Lanez is set to appear in a Los Angeles courtroom on Monday where his attorneys are expected to argue for a new trial for the rapper, who was convicted in Dec. 2022 of felony assault in the shooting of fellow hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion.
Lanez's attorneys, Jose Baez and Matthew Barhoma, filed a motion for a new trial in March, arguing in part that certain evidence presented at trial and some statements made by witnesses on the stand were prejudicial to their client, including an Instagram post where Lanez's verified account commented on the case and a photo of Lanez's gun tattoo. The motion, which was obtained by ABC News, also takes issue with the forensic testing and claims that Lanez's right to counsel of his choice was violated.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office, which is prosecuting this case, filed a motion on April 6 asking the judge to deny the defense's request for a new trial. Prosecutors are set to argue against the motion for a new trial during the hearing on Monday.
The judge indicated during an April 17 hearing that if the motion for a new trial is denied, the rapper will be sentenced within 30 days of Monday’s hearing.

Good luck brother. Hopefully you’ll walk out of there today.
In irons.
Keep your head up. You know you did it though!!
Yawn!!!!!
Megan is still Stalioning.
Just write some music so when you get out you can be the man. You got your prison rep now. You hard now man. Never mind you got your rep from shooting a running girl in the foot. Just be the man.
More like Tory LAME.
Jose Baez got Casey Anthony a not guilty, and he's pretty good at criminal defense. Unfortunately, the Canadian immigrant can't keep his hands to himself or stop talking to the blogs. He brought this on himself. He's trash, he's guilty, and he's desperate. Send him back to Toronto and let the maple leafs pay to incarcerate him
