Tory Lanez Files to Appeal His Conviction


Back in December Canadian rapper Tory Lanez was convicted on all counts for shooting Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion in the foot [click here if you missed that].

Tory has officially filed to appeal the verdict...

From TMZ 
Tory Lanez has just filed an appeal to throw out his conviction for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, claiming, among other things, prosecutors tried to dirty him up with irrelevant evidence.
Tory's lawyer, famed criminal defense attorney Jose Baez, claims in legal docs obtained by TMZ, prosecutors submitted a shirtless photo of Tory with a firearm on his chest. During trial, prosecutors said it was merely for identification purposes, but Baez is calling BS, saying prosecutors used the photo to underscore to the jury his client had a fondness for weapons.
There are numerous other grounds ... notably Baez says it was a reversible error for prosecutors to threaten to present Tory's rap lyrics to the jury.
And there's this ... Baez says the jury heard an 80-minute interview prosecutors had with Kelsey Harris -- Megan's friend who was in the car the night of the shooting. The audio was devastating to Tory's case, but Kelsey later recanted a lot of what she said in that interview.
Baez also says it was wrong to admit an Instagram post that included a comment from one of Megan's producers, claiming cops had matched bullets from Tory's gun to the fragments in Megan's foot.

A Lil time has passed...The lights are dimmed & the sh*t show is over. I have zero empathy, the way this lil smurf behaved after he shot a girl...Hopefully, he's somebody's b*tch in there.

This anger issues leprechaun not getting out until time served and then they should deport his a$$. The only lights and cameras he’s getting is in line ups. Him and his raggedy blame shifting daddy both got what they deserved🍀
