Lanez, 30, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, could get up to 22 years in prison and faces deportation to his native Canada.

LOS ANGELES — A Los Angeles judge on Tuesday denied a motion for a new trial from lawyers for rapper Tory Lanez, who was convicted of three felonies in December for Superior Court Judge Herriford rejected arguments from lawyers for Lanez that evidence was wrongly admitted at the he presided over. He said that the exclusion of the disputed evidence would not have made a difference at the trial.

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.
