Lawyers for Tory Lanez File Appeal in Shooting Trial Conviction

Tory Lanez is Set to Open an Ice Cream Shop

Tory Lanez has officially launched his effort to dismiss the conviction in his shooting case. The Chixtape rapper’s attorney Jose Baez hinges his argument on prosecutors persuading jurors.

Baez states prosecutors used a chest tattoo of Lanez to lead the belief that the rapper likes guns. Supporting the appeal to dismiss the charges are lyrics being used against him and the effort to have Kelsey Nicole Harris to recant a statement.

According to TMZ, Baez and Suge Knight’s former attorney, David Kenner, were hired ahead of rescheduling his sentencings. Baez once represented Casey Anthony and Aaron Herndandez.

Lanez has been in a Los Angeles County Jail since he was found guilty of multiple charges in connection to the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.

Boosie Says He Predicted Tory Lanez Guilty Verdict, Claims Men Never Win Against Women In Court

Boosie Reacts to Rihanna's Pregnancy News: 'SMH ASAP AINT PLAYING'

Boosie has never been the one to shy away from letting his opinions be heard. However, he kept his mouth shut during the Tory Lanez shooting trial that ended in December of last year. In a recent interview with Vlad, Boosie finally opened his mouth about the trial, saying that he predicted the verdict. He added that he kept his mouth shut during the trial because he didn’t want his opinions to sway the trial in any way.

“I can comment now. ‘Cause you know I didn’t want my interview to stir which way,” Boosie said. “But I knew he would be found guilty. You never saw a man and a woman go through something and that man wins. Never. Johnny Depp won. He got that money out that bitch, she went too far.”

He continued, “But, domestic violence: I’ve never seen nobody win in court when it’s a woman against a man. Mike Tyson, 2Pac; it goes on. Bro, I didn’t wanna say this; but I never seen when something like that happens, that a man comes out victorious on a woman. And I been wanting to say this four interviews ago.”

In August 2020, Boosie initially made it known that he would not be speaking on the shooting that occurred just the month prior.

“I don’t wanna get in that ’cause I don’t wanna say the wrong thing. I don’t wanna say the wrong thing because I fuck with Tory and I fuck with Meg. I need me a Meg verse now. I’m not finna say shit!”

He added that he didn’t want to be the first to talk about it and have his words twisted by the public. “I don’t wanna be the first to talk about it. I don’t wanna talk about it because I’ma be in the wedge. They gon’ take this and they gon’ flip it on me. And they gonna make it look like a took a side. So like my mama say, I need to shut up on this one.”

Breakup Rumors Swirl After Fans Notice Megan Thee Stallion No Longer Follows Pardison Fontaine

megan thee stallion pardison breakup rumors

Megan Thee Stallion has been pretty quiet since Tory Lanez was convicted in a shooting that harmed her. And rightfully so, she’s been through a lot, and we all could use breaks. But fans noticed that she no longer follows Pardison Fontaine on Instagram, and traditionally, that signals a break-up. Hollywood Unlocked capture the follower status below.

While Tory Lanez’s trial was in deliberation, Pardison Fontaine spoke out, offering prayers to any woman dealing with injustice.

“To any woman, especially ones of color, that has suffered an injustice, I feel for you …” Fontaine wrote. “When you do find the courage to speak up it seems you will be ridiculed. Your credibility will be questioned, your entire past will be held under a magnifying glass. In an instant you can go from victim to defendant in the eyes of the public. To anyone with a sister, mother, niece or aunt, I pray for their protection. I pray for their covering. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.”

‘LHH’ Star Prince Claims He Was Assaulted by Tory Lanez and Wants Settlement Tossed Out

Tory Lanez Violated Megan Thee Stallion's Restraining Order By Performing At Rolling Loud, According To Prosecutors

In case you didn’t know, Prince from Love & Hip-Hop and Tory Lanez once had a run-in. After the incident, a settlement was offered to Prince, which he now states he was forced to sign as a gun-wielding individual was threatening him.

According to RadarOnline, Prince stated he was forced to sign the paper after meeting with a man with a gun. Prince is now asking for the settlement to be rejected.

Prince states Tory Lanez assaulted him on two different incidents in Miami nightclubs. Lanez’s new lawyer noted the matter was handled, despite Prince’s recent intimidation claims.

Lanez’s lawyer stated she has “information to believe that a settlement has already been reached between the parties and [Lanez] has tendered funds to [Prince] in the consummation of their agreement.”

Prince states the settlement was drafted by Lanez himself. “He told me not to contact my lawyer when I told him I needed my lawyer to review the agreement,” Prince said.

He also added the person who attacked him was the same individual from the nightclub and now wants the settlement voided.

Tory Lanez, who is already behind bars after being convicted of offenses related to the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion, has recently assembled an all-star team of lawyers to help him appeal his guilty conviction in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting trial. Lanez recently stated that he had recruited Jose Baez to assist with his appeal. Baez is most known for defending Casey Anthony in her child murder trial, which ended in a not-guilty verdict in 2011.

According to TMZ, Baez will work alongside well-known attorneys like David Kenner and Matthew Barhoma. In the early 1990s, Kenner represented Suge Knight and Snoop Dogg, obtaining probation for the former hip-hop entrepreneur for a robbery and assisting Snoop in his infamous 1993 murder case.

Baez also defended Aaron Hernandez in the appeal of Odin Lloyd’s murder until the former Patriots tight end committed suicide on April 19, 2017. Hernandez was cleared of all charges related to a double homicide on April 15, 2017, just a few days before his suicide.

Lanez was convicted guilty of all three charges concerning the Megan Thee Stallion shooting incident last December 23. Following the decision, Lanez’s father rushed to the streets outside the courthouse, where he passionately condemned the verdict and blamed Jay-Z and Roc Nation for his son’s incarceration.

Lanez’s father recently turned to Instagram to express his and the rest of his family’s forgiveness for Megan Thee Stallion.

Tory Lanez

Tory Lanez is enlisting an all-star group of lawyers as he prepares to appeal his guilty verdict from the Megan Thee Stallion shooting trial. Recently, it was announced that Lanez had hired Jose Baez to help him appeal his case. Baez is well known for representing Casey Anthony in her child murder case which resulted in a not-guilty verdict in 2011.

According to TMZ, Baez will be working alongside other big-time lawyers such as David Kenner and Matthew Barhoma. Kenner served as Suge Knight and Snoop Dogg’s representation in the early ’90s, and got the former hip-hop mogul probation for a robbery, and helped Snoop beat his infamous 1993 murder case.

Baez also represented Aaron Hernandez in the appeal of the murder of Odin Lloyd up until the former Patriot’s tight end’s suicide on April 19, 2017. On April 15, 2017, just a few days before his suicide, Hernandez was acquitted on all charges stemming from a separate double murder.

Lanez was found guilty of all three charges in relation to the Megan Thee Stallion shooting incident on December 23 of last year. After the verdict was reached, Lanez father took to outside of the courthouse where he vehemently denounced the verdict and blamed Jay-Z and Roc Nation for his sons imprisonment.

Lanez father recently took to Instagram where he said that he and the rest of his family have forgiven Megan Thee Stallion.

Tory Lanez New Mugshot Goes Viral

Screen Shot 2023 01 12 at 1.39.38 AM

While Tory Lanez and his new defense team, which includes former Death Row lawyer David Kenner, organize their strategy going into the appellate phase of his conviction, a mugshot from his re-arrest has now surfaced and has more than a few people wondering what’s going to happen next in the saga of the Megan Thee Stallion shooting.

The smile on Lanez’s face has some believing that he may have some inclination as to what’s next to happen in his case. An appeal of his conviction could mean a new trial for the Canadian native, but he’s currently behind bars awaiting sentencing.

While critics on IG complimented Tory on his fresh new cut, others said he looks like he knows that he’ll be getting out soon. Either way, the “Why Did I” rapper appears to be in great spirits, considering the circumstances.

Screen Shot 2023 01 10 at 11.03.28 PM

As previously reported, recently convicted rapper Tory Lanez has hired renowned criminal defense attorney David Kenner, the lawyer who famously represented the Death Row roster, to argue his case while in the appellate phase of his case.
