Tory Lanez Loses Appeal, Remains Convicted in Megan Thee Stallion Shooting Case

Nearly three years after Tory Lanez was found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2022, a California appellate court has affirmed the verdict. The appeals court rejected Lanez's arguments and upheld his 10-year prison sentence for the incident that occurred in July 2020.

Lanez and his supporters have maintained his innocence, claiming there was insufficient proof that he was the shooter and that he received an unfair trial. However, the appeals court dismissed these claims, stating that "we find no prejudicial error and, accordingly, affirm Peterson's conviction."

The shooting incident took place as Lanez, Megan, and her assistant were being driven from a party at Kylie Jenner's house. Prosecutors alleged that Lanez shouted "Dance, bitch!" and fired a gun at Megan's feet, striking her. Megan herself testified that Lanez was the one who shot her, and a key defense witness offered confusing eyewitness testimony.

Despite the conviction, Lanez and his legal team have continued to challenge the verdict, calling it a "miscarriage of justice." They have also claimed that new evidence exonerates him, but Megan's representatives and prosecutors have strongly denied these claims.

The appeals court's decision to uphold the conviction marks a significant setback for Lanez, who now faces a decade behind bars for the shooting incident that has captivated the music industry and the public.
