Jurors have found rapper Tory Lanez guilty of three felonies in the 2020 shooting of hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion.
LOS ANGELES — A Los Angeles jury on Friday found rapper Tory Lanez guilty of three felonies in the 2020 shooting of hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion that left her wounded with bullet fragments in her feet.
After the jury left the courtroom, Lanez's father, Sonstar Peterson, leapt up and began shouting."This wicked system stands judged before God almighty!" He shouted, as deputies closed in on him. He then pointed to the two prosecutors in the case and yelled"You two are evil, wicked people. You know exactly what you did."
Megan Thee Stallion, whose legal name is Megan Pete, testified during the trial that Lanez fired a handgun at the back of her feet and shouted for her to dance as she walked away from an SUV in which they had been riding in the Hollywood Hills in the summer of 2020. She said the two had gotten into a dispute that got especially heated when she began insulting his music."The jury got it right," Megan's attorney Alex Spiro said. "I am thankful there is justice for Meg.
In closing arguments, prosecutors emphasized the courage it took for Megan come forward and the vitriol the 27-year-old has faced for it. They said she had no incentive to tell anything but the truth. "Megan Pete is a liar. She lied about everything in this case from the beginning," Mgdesyan said."She lied under oath here."
