They also claimed prosecutors ambushed the defence at trial with a September 2020 Instagram post that appeared to show Lanez admitting that Megan’s then-friend Kelsey Harris was not the one who fired the gun. (A California law barring “creative expression” evidence at trials came into effect nine days after Lanez was convicted.) Lanez’s lawyers, Jose Baez and Matthew Barhoma, argued last month that Herriford “impermissibly chilled” their client’s right to testify in his own defence by ruling that prosecutors could introduce his lyrics and a bloody 2022 music video (for “Cap”) during cross-examination. The ruling by Los Angeles Superior Court judge David Herriford did not come as a surprise as defence counsel requests to overturn a jury’s verdict are rarely granted. A judge on Tuesday denied Canadian rapper Tory Lanez’s motion for a new trial following his conviction late last year for the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.
