Tory Lanez Bail Application Resubmitted With “Nearly Identical” Arguments To Those Previously Rejected

by

Try as he might to make life in prison look easy, it’s clear that Tory Lanez has one thing on his mind – freedom. Since he was first arrested in late 2022, the Canadian has been fighting to reduce (or entirely avoid) his prison sentence with little luck. Back in September, he was denied bail by a judge, though that’s not stopping him from making yet another attempt. Crime journalist Meghann Cuniff shared the news via Twitter on Tuesday (October 10). She noted that Lanez’s most recent filing isn’t all that different from one that was previously rejected.

“The arguments are nearly identical to the motion Judge Herriford rejected a the Sept. 14 hearing in LA (the one where Lanez called me a googly-eyed b**ch), including the forgoing of any mention of the rehab pushed at sentencing,” the reporter wrote this morning. Rather than seeking traditional treatment for substance abuse, the father of one “wants to rent a home in Los Angeles from a friend who rents ‘ex*tic’ homes and cars.” The letter included in the motion isn’t specifically about the bail request – rather, it’s a character reference from Tory’s sentencing that took place in August.

Tory Lanez Remains Persistent in His Fight for Bail

According to Cuniff, the “Say It” hitmaker’s legal team may be confused. Despite their belief that it would only take “a day or two” to have a hearing scheduled in the appellate court, she thinks the process will be much longer. “I don’t know what that’s based on, but it’s totally false. The appellate court does not hold hearings. There won’t be a hearing on this.”

“Technically, Lanez’s filing should be called a writ petition,” Cuniff went on in another tweet. “It’ll be decided based on the filing like all writ petitions are. (Such as Lanez’s failed appellate writ petition seeking to disqualify Judge Herriford. The appellate court does not hold bail hearings.”

Meghann Cuniff Provides More Updates on the Case

“Appellate court does hear oral argument, and Tory will eventually have oral argument over his yet-to-be-filed appellate brief,” Cuniff further clarified. “But the court does not hold hearings on writ petitions, which is what Lanez’s appeal of his bail motion is. The court will reject it with a line entry.” Do you think that Tory Lanez will ever achieve his objective of securing bail?

XXXTENTACION Trial: Closing Arguments Start Next Week

by

The judge in the XXXTENTACION murder trial said that closing arguments will begin next week. Moreover, this followed the most recent developments surrounding the defense trying to get Drake connected to the Florida rapper’s murder. Of course, these efforts proved largely unsuccessful in court, although social media discourse still has its questions. Nevertheless, it seems like this trial might wrap up about five years since X’s tragic passing. While it’s been a long, winding, and painful road for many, especially the families involved, it seems like we’re on the other side of the case.

Furthermore, Judge Michael A. Usain said that the court will have a few days off and get right into closing arguments on Tuesday, March 7th. Coincidentally, Kodak Black recently penned a heartfelt tribute to X this week, giving many the chance to reflect before the trial wraps up. “Nothing Really.. Just Was Thinking Bout You Bro,” Yak wrote in an Instagram post. “DAM BROWARD COUNTY WE LOST A LEGEND. @xxxtentacion One Of The Best Things To Ever Happen To This Small Town I Call Home.”

XXXTENTACION Trial Entering Closing Arguments Next Week

Also, after testimonies from some of the perpetrators of the crime, the public learned a lot more alleged details about the murder. For example, the rapper’s accused killers reportedly took pictures with the cash stolen after their attack. While they all faced prison time, codefendants allegedly mocked Robert Allen, who was a codefendant before becoming a state’s witness. Much of the evidence, stories, and testimonies that jurors witnessed, including a graphic video of the murder, are difficult to process. As the trial closes after a month of deliberations, the tragedy of the situation impacts anyone even remotely aware of it.

Meanwhile, X continues to make a musical mark today, whether from passionate fans propelling him into streaming royalty or his unreleased collaborations and demos seeing the light of day. While many fans expressed disappointment in what they see as grave robbery, it’s more of a reflection of those with access to his music and not the artist himself. For example, the recent track “I’m Not Human” features X alongside Lil Uzi Vert. Whether for his old or new material, X will continue to ring long after this trial’s closing arguments wrap up. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest updates in the XXXTENTACION murder trial.
