LOS ANGELES — 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 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. He was initially set to be sentenced in January, but the sentencing has been delayed several times after he obtained new attorneys. Lanez, who chose not to take the witness stand, pleaded not guilty during the trial and his defense team argued that he was not the shooter.
