On Friday (December 23rd), a Los Angeles jury found Tory Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in July 2020. According to TMZ, Lanez was found guilty on all three charges against him, including felony negligent discharge of a firearm, assault with a semiautomatic firearm and carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm.
After the verdict was read, several members of Tory's family — including his dad and stepmom — shouted, "This system stands before God!" and calling the court system evil. Deputies surrounded his family members and escorted them out of the courtroom.
Lanez's attorney George Mgdesyan said in a statement, “We are shocked by the verdict. There was not sufficient evidence to convict Mr. Peterson. We believe this case was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt. We will be exploring all options including an appeal.”
