Tory Lanez's Appeal Rejected in Shooting Case

Tory Lanez’s lawyers actually argued Megan Thee Stallion wasn’t a “vulnerable victim” because

she had the ability to run or duck. This was a key part of his recent, and unsuccessful,

appeal to overturn his conviction and ten-year prison sentence for the 2020 shooting.

His legal team didn't challenge the judge's view on his post-shooting conduct. Instead,

they focused on this "vulnerable victim" status. In California, a victim's vulnerability

can be a factor for a harsher sentence. Their argument was that because Kelsey Harris testified

she saw Tory reach for something in the car, Megan should have known a gun might

be involved and reacted by getting out of the way. The court obviously didn't buy it,
