Prosecutors Seek 13-Year Sentence

Tory Lanez is facing up to 22 years in prison after being convicted last December of one felony count of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm in a grossly negligent manner to cause bodily injury in connection with the July 2020 shooting. Even after being convicted, the rap-crooner has maintained his innocence. He unsuccessfully appealed the verdict earlier this year. His sentencing has been pushed back numerous time.

Prosecutors in the case released their sentencing memo back in June and suggested Tory Lanez be sentenced to 13 years in prison for his crimes. Four years over the minimum sentence. Tory's sentencing is now scheduled for Aug. 7.
