Tory Lanez Files to Appeal Guilty Verdict

Last October Canadian rapper Tory Lanez was denied his third of fourth appeal since being convicted on felony assault and weapons charges for shooting Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion in the foot [click here if you missed that]. 

Tory has just filed another one on grounds that Megan was allowed to answer questions in a way that garnered sympathy...

From Us Weekly

Rapper Tory Lanez has filed an appeal after being found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
In court documents obtained by Us Weekly on Wednesday, February 28, Lanez’s legal team cited “erroneous admission of evidence” and “prosecutorial misconduct” as grounds for the appeal.
The filing claimed that Megan, 29, was “allowed to inappropriately answer questions in a narrative format” during the December 2022 trial, “including testimony concerning irrelevant and inadmissible matters, such as her feelings regarding the circumstances of the incident.”
Lanez’s attorneys argued that “sympathy for the victim is out of place during an objective determination of guilt.” They claimed that during closing arguments, “prosecutors made multiple improper appeals to emotion and sympathy for the victim” which “had no bearing on [Lanez’s] guilt or innocence.”

He’s where he’s supposed to be. I’m weirded out seeing him be defended by people who were not around when he attacked another man for no reason. As if he isn’t a ticking time bomb!
