Canadian Rapper Convicted of Attacking Megan Thee Stallion

Tory Lanez, the Canadian rapper found guilty of shooting fellow musician Megan Thee Stallion in 2020, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. The sentencing took place on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, in a Los Angeles courtroom following a trial that garnered widespread attention.

Background of the Case

On July 12, 2020, Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion were involved in an argument while driving in Los Angeles. The incident escalated, and Lanez allegedly fired several shots at Megan Thee Stallion, wounding her in the foot. Lanez was arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including assault with a semiautomatic firearm and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.

Trial and Verdict

The trial began in December 2022 and lasted for several weeks. The prosecution presented evidence, including the results of a gunshot residue test and witness testimony, to support its case. Lanez's defense argued that Megan Thee Stallion was the aggressor and had accidentally shot herself.

On December 23, 2022, a jury found Lanez guilty of all three charges. The sentencing followed shortly after.
