Fans of Tory Lanez have started several petitions to appeal the rapper’s conviction on felony charges related to the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.
Following Lanez’s guilty verdict on Friday, at least three petitions were started on Change.org.
The Chixtape rapper was convicted of three felonies, including assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. According to reports, the jurors also agreed that there were aggravating factors in the incident, which enhanced the penalties for the assault and negligence charges.
As of Tuesday, one of the petitions in support of Lanez had reached almost 40,000 signatures.
According to the petitions page, Tory’s trial was a “circus of speculation, insufficient evidence, inconsistencies, and drunken memories [that] left us without much moral certainty of any truth.”
