Rapper Tory Lanez was convicted of shooting rapper Megan Thee Stallion in December. He'll be sentenced on Feb. 28.
One of Lanez's new attorneys, David E. Kenner, told Superior Court Judge David Herriford that he is waiting for copies of transcripts from last month's trial so the defense can prepare a motion for a new trial for the 30- year-old Canadian rapper, whose real name is Daystar Peterson.
Mgdesyan told jurors that it was a "case about jealousy," saying the two women had gotten into an argument after finding out that Lanez had slept with both of them. He also said a neighbor reported witnessing a fistfight between the women after the vehicle they were in stopped on Nichols Canyon Road. Jurors heard testimony from that neighbor, and heard it a second time when it was read back by the court reporter during their deliberations.
Megan Thee Stallion's attorney said in a statement released soon after the verdict was announced, "The jury got it right. I am thankful there is justice for Meg." Megan Thee Stallion said the vehicle was stopped soon afterward by police, who ordered all of the occupants out, as her feet were still bleeding. She said she told police that she had stepped on glass when they began questioning her.
