Attorneys for Daystar Peterson (Tory Lanez) have filed a motion for his release on bail pending the appeal of his sentence in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting case. It’s the second such motion submitted by his defense team since Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge David Herriford sentenced him in early August to 10 years in prison.
The first was denied by the same judge in September. The new motion was shared on X this morning (October 10) by court reporter Meghan Cuniff.
“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 bitch), including the forgoing of any mention of the rehab pushed at sentencing,” she tweeted.

These issues include challenges to expert witness testimony presented in his initial trial based on forensic tests performed on the firearm he is convicted of using to shoot Megan (his girlfriend at the time) in the foot, as well as the addition of four years to his sentence based on a firearm enhancement (CA penal code 12022.5), a law that they argue will soon be overturned by California’s governor, Gavin Newsom.
