AceShowbiz - After 2 years of drama, Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez's trial over a July 2020 shooting incident finally took place. Kicking off on December 12, the trial saw the Canadian star denying being the one who pulled the trigger on the "WAP" hitmaker following a party at Kylie Jenner's house. Instead, his legal team tried to prove that it was Kelsey Nicole Harris, Meg's former best friend, who might have pulled the trigger.
As for Megan, the Hot Girl Summer first shut down Tory's legal team's claim that she was kicked out of Kylie's party because she was drunk and irate. The Houston native additionally testified that Tory threatened her and offered her a million dollars if she was silent after being shot by him. Also testifying for the case was Kelsey. On December 14, Kelsey testified that the Houston Hottie was "acting out and drunk" at the party. When prosecutor Kathy Ta asked if Tory had threatened to shoot her, Kelsey refused to answer questions by taking the Fifth even though she previously testified that Tory threatened to shoot her.
Eventually on December 23, Tory was found guilty of all three charges against him, including felony negligent discharge of a firearm, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm. He will be sentenced on January 27. 2023 following the verdict. Tory now faces more than 22 years in prison and will likely be deported back to his home country of Canada.
