A Los Angeles judge on Tuesday, May 9, 2023, denied a motion for a new trial from lawyers for Lanez, who was convicted of three felonies in December for shooting hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion in the feet and wounding her.
Motions for a new trial filed immediately afterward with the same judge are a common precursor to appealing to a higher court, which Lanez's attorneys plan to do. The motions are very rarely successful. They had an elaborate presentation prepared, complete with audio-visuals and witnesses, but Herriford would have none of it, insisting instead on narrow legal arguments on the precise issues raised, the norm for such motions in California court.
