Tory Lanez’s Legal Team Makes 2nd Attempt At Bail, Motions Court To Release Rapper From Prison While He Appeals 10-Year Conviction For Megan Thee Stallion Shooting

Jailed rap star Tory Lanez is continuing his fight for freedom.

According to legal affairs journalist Meghan Cuniff, the musician’s legal team recently submitted new documents requesting his release from prison.

Tory Lanez’s lawyers’ first request that he be released as he appeals his 10-year prison sentence was denied in September. In case you’re unfamiliar, the Canada native, real name Daystar Peterson, was found guilty on three felony charges last year in connection to the 2020 shooting of rapper Megan Thee Stallion.

Despite his initial bail request being denied, it seems the musician and his legal team are trying again. Cuniff shared the reported legal documents to her X account (formerly Twitter), writing:

“Tory Lanez has been in prison for three weeks, but he hasn’t given up on bail. His lawyers are asking an appellate court to let him out of prison as he appeals his convictions and 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion.”


Continuing, the journalist highlighted the fact that the motion seems to be extremely similar to

the first appeal that was ultimately denied. Sharing the full document, she added:

“Here’s the full request. The arguments are nearly identical to the motion Judge Herriford rejected at the Sept. 14 hearing in LA (the one where Lanez called me a googly eyed b**ch), including the forgoing of any mention of the rehab pushed at sentencing.”


The legal documents reportedly reiterated Lanez’s plans should he be released. The “Chixtape” artist initially told the judge he planned to relocate to Los Angeles with his “wife,” and rent a home from a friend. The rapper said he would be focused on his family and wanted to live closer to his father and siblings. Additionally, Cuniff noted that Lanez’s lawyers seem to have disregarded the court’s suggestion that the musician attend a residential rehab facility, doubling down on his plans to stay in a rental home.

According to Cuniff, it will likely be some time until Lanez’s new appeal is heard by the court. We will continue to update as the story moves forward.

Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes asks court to remain free until appeal ruling

Pregnant Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes has asked a court to allow her to remain free until there is a decision in her appeal against her conviction and 11-year prison sentence.  Holmes, 38, was sentenced in November after being convicted at trial of defrauding investors. She is appealing the conviction and sentence in the U.S. Court of Appeals, seeking a new trial and citing 10 reasons why her request should be granted, Mercury News  reported. In her bid to remain free, Holmes’ legal team said in a court filing – filed last week in the US District Court in San Jose – that she was found guilty only on charges of defrauding investors, not on the charges of defrauding patients.    Holmes, who is a mother of one, is pregnant with her second child and is due to give birth before she is set start serving her prison sentence on April 27.   Elizabeth Holmes has asked a court to allow her to remain free until a ruling is reached in her appeal against her conviction and 11-year

Clarence Avant's political power: The 'Black Godfather' had the ear of three presidents

Image
As Clarence Avant headed into the hills north of Sunset Boulevard one night in the 1970s, a Beverly Hills police officer pulled him over for speeding. Avant told the officer he was headed to his home in Trousdale Estates. The officer was dubious. The Beverly Hills neighborhood, one of the most exclusive in the country, was almost entirely white. Avant was Black. “Look, I gotta hurry up,” Avant said. “Jimmy Carter is coming to my house.” Now even more skeptical, the police officer said he would follow Avant home and write him a ticket — or maybe a few — once they got there. When the officer arrived and, stunned, saw the cul-de-sac swarming with Secret Service agents, he let Avant off the hook. The story, recounted by two of Avant’s close friends, showed how a man known mostly as a barrier-breaking music executive also moved in some of the country’s most powerful political circles. Avant’s death last month at 92 spurred an outpouring of tributes from celebrities as varied as
