Tory Lanez's attempts to present new evidence to contest his 2022 felony conviction related to shooting Megan Thee Stallion have failed. His petitions, one concerning the testimony of his driver and another involving a statement from a security guard, were denied by the California Court of Appeals. Lanez is currently serving a 10-year sentence after being found guilty of assault with a firearm, and he had previously been denied a new trial in May 2023. Megan Thee Stallion's team reaffirmed the jury's decision in support of their case.
Peterson's legal team alleged at a press conference in May that Bradley Jennings, who was working as a bodyguard and driver for Harris, approached them and said he had witnessed a conversation in which Harris said "she had the gun, she fired it three times, Mr. Peterson grabbed her arm and knocked it down, and the gun fired two more times."
Megan Thee Stallion's team was quick to respond, issuing a statement the next day. "Tory Lanez was tried and convicted by a jury of his peers and his case was properly adjudicated through the court system," they wrote.
Peterson is serving a 10-year sentence after being convicted of assault with a firearm, possession of a concealed firearm and negligent discharge of a gun.
This is not the first time the 30-year-old rapper has seen his efforts to revive the case shot down. In May 2023, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge denied his motion for a new trial.
