Attorneys for Tory Lanez have filed a motion for his release on bail pending the appeal of his sentence in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting case.
Lanez’s first try was shot down by a judge. The rapper was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the shooting.
Lanez’s attorneys insist he is not a flight risk.
“For the reasons presented, it is respectfully requested that this court exercise its discretion to permit Appellant Peterson’s release from custody on reasonable bail pending finality of his appeal,” attorney Crystal Morgan wrote in the court documents. “If granted, bail will allow him to continue his employment while staying in the geographic Los Angeles area, so that he may continue to support and lead his family, and be present during these formidable years with his young son. Based upon this Motion, and the previously mitigating factors, which were presented at his sentencing hearing, Appellant Peterson’s request for bail pending appeal is warranted.”
Lanez is trying to appeal his sentence. He denies shooting the rapper.
