Even these two at odds music artists… Megan Thee Stallion & Tory Lanez.
Judge David Herriford handed down a 10-year sentence to the Canadian artist for shooting the "Plan B" rapper in the feet in the summer of 2020
Canadian rapper Tory Lanez has been sentenced to 10 years after being found guilty on all three felony counts for shooting Grammy-winning superstar Megan Thee Stallion three years ago.
Judge David Herriford had been expected to sentence Lanez Monday at a hearing that usually only takes a few hours, but Herriford had attorneys for both sides argue each factor of his potential sentence, allowing seven witnesses to give statements on Lanez's charitable contributions, his childhood trauma and being a father to of his 6-year-old son.
At the start of Monday's proceedings, Lanez had over 70 submitted letters of support, including a note from "Fancy" rapper Iggy Azalea to Judge Herriford asking for leniency "that was transformative, not life-destroying" when determining his sentence.
"I am not in support of throwing away anyone's life if we can give reasonable punishments that are rehabilitative instead. I support prison reform. Period," she later wrote on Twitter.
After a nine-day trial, on December 23, 2022, the unanimous verdict was handed down by a jury in Los Angeles Superior Court, convicting the 31-year-old "Luv" singer of assaulting 28-year-old Megan (real name Megan Pete) with a semi-automatic firearm, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, looked "stoic" in court on Monday and Tuesday, according to a source. He spoke for several minutes before the judge handed down his decision, asking for leniency and for a sentence that would allow him to “prove” himself.
“If I could turn back the series of events that night and change them, I would," Lanez says, according to The Associated Press. “The victim was my friend. The victim is someone I still care for to this day." He added, “Everything I did wrong that night, I take full responsibility for.” The rapper was given about 10 months of credit for time he’s served since his conviction in December.
