Tory Lanez Guilty in Megan Thee Stallion Shooting, Jury Finds (Variety)

Tory Lanez was found guilty in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting that left her with bullet fragments in her feet, a jury announced.

[argued ](https://twitter.com/meghanncuniff/status/1606008598756085760?s=20&t=fiBkh8nkieZ5cxdVZuHsUA)the case was about the shooting — not sex. “It feels like every man with a position of power in the music industry, even people who are not even rappers, they never even cared about what my side of the story was,” Pete [said](https://lawandcrime.com/celebrity/prosecutor-tells-jury-that-tory-lanez-shot-megan-thee-stallion-over-nothing-more-than-a-bruised-ego/). 12](https://variety.com/2022/music/news/megan-thee-stallion-tory-lanez-trial-1235460013/) with testimony from Pete herself, who claimed Peterson had shot her in an emotional retelling of the roadside assault. [Pete responded to Drake on Twitter](https://variety.com/2022/music/news/megan-thee-stallion-slams-drake-song-shooting-1235423257/), hitting back and writing, “Stop using my shooting for clout bitch ass n—–! She [told](https://www.billboard.com/pro/megan-three-stallion-trial-testimony-tory-lanez-shooting-case-recap/) the jury: “I wish [Peterson] had just shot and killed me.” The defense went on to argue that this was a case about jealousy between Pete and Kelsey Harris, her former friend and ex-assistant, who both allegedly had intimate relationships with Peterson. On his recent album “Her Loss,” Drake made a reference to Pete, saying “this bitch lie ’bout getting shots but she still a stallion.” There are many lies.” She also vehemently denied the claim that she was the one who shot Pete amid speculation implied by Peterson’s defense team, who argued their client’s DNA was not found on the weapon. She was not able to definitively confirm that Peterson had shot the gun. During closing arguments, Deputy District Attorney Alexander Bott reminded the jury that the case was about Pete. A surgeon who operated on Pete after the altercation took the stand to confirm he had removed bullet fragments from her feet. I’d also like to thank the jurors for their time and thoughtful deliberation, and our trial team for their tireless pursuit of the truth. Peterson was convicted on one felony count each of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, negligent discharge of a firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.
