Tory Lanez's fans have echoed some of his father's conspiracy theories in a new petition calling for an appeal for the convicted felon.In the petition, shared online over the weekend, the writers cast aspersions on the integrity of both the jury and prosecutors, while claiming that Lanez's victim Megan Thee Stallion, 27, lied on the stand.Lanez, 30, was convicted on Friday of three felony counts for assault with a semi-automatic firearm, shooting a firearm in a grossly negligent manner and carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle.The petition also includes baseless conspiracy theories that were previously spouted by Lanez's father Sonstar Peterson shortly after the guilty verdict was pronounced, which blamed Jay-Z and Beyoncé for his son's conviction.

Angry fans: A petition launched Friday calls for an appeal for Tory Lanez, 30, after he was convicted of three felonies for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, 27As of Monday afternoon, nearly 26,000 people had signed the petition, and the number appeared to be steadily rising.The petition called Lanez's conviction 'a true miscarriage of justice' and claimed that the state did not prove its case.

It also claimed the 10-day trial was, 'A circus of speculation, insufficient evidence, inconsistencies, and drunken memories left us without much moral certainty of any truth.'The the rapper is facing a maximum of just over 22 years in prison, the petition incorrectly said he was facing nearly 30 years behind bars.

Lashing out at the victim: The petition claims that Lanez is innocent and blasts Megan (real name: Megan Pete) for allegedly lying under oath.
