Tory Lanez’s attempt to overturn parts of his convictions and sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion have been denied.

The California Court of Appeals rejected a significant portion of his appeal on Tuesday (August 12), according to Legal Affairs & Trials journalist Meghann Cuniff.

Both habeas petitions — one concerning Lanez’s driver not testifying and another tied to a new statement from a security guard for Kelsey Nicole Harris during trial — were denied.

While these specific claims will not move forward, Lanez’s main appeal remains active and is scheduled for oral argument next Monday (August 18) in Los Angeles.
