Tory Lanez sentencing has been delayed once again.
A sentencing originally planned for Tuesday (June 13th) was delayed at the request of Lanez’s attorneys. Lanez, real name Daystar Petersen, was present in court wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, and black cap.
Superior Court Judge David Herriford reset sentencing for Aug. 7 for the 30-year-old Canadian rap star, whose real name is Daystar Peterson.
Herriford said Lanez’s attorney’s would have until August 1 to submit a sentencing recommendation.
Prosecutors have asked Lanez be sentenced to 13 years in state prison.
As previously reported, Lanez was convicted of shooting hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion in the feet in the Hollywood Hills nearly three years ago.
Back in December a jury convicted Lanez in December of three felony charges related to the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion: assault with a semiautomatic handgun, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
During a contentious hearing last month, the judge rejected the defense’s bid for a new trial. One of the rapper’s new attorneys, Jose Baez, called Lanez’s defense during the trial a “jumbled, bungled mess” and said Lanez’s trial attorney, George Mgdesyan, did not have enough time to prepare for trial and ultimately “failed” his client.
“The court finds no error, prosecutorial misconduct or newly discovered evidence,” Herriford said. “Motion denied.”
