Tory Larnez is sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Meg Tee Stallion.
According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office, Tory Lanez, the man convicted of shooting rapper Megan Thee Stallion in 2020, was given a 10-year jail term on Tuesday.
To the Los Angeles County District Attorney at the time, Lanez was found guilty by a Los Angeles jury in. December of three offenses connected to the Hollywood Hills shooting of fellow rapper Stallion in July 2020.
According to the prosecution, Lanez had entered a not-guilty plea to charges of assault with a semiautomatic weapon, transportation. Of a loaded, unregistered firearm, and discharge of a firearm with gross negligence.
He was found guilty on all three charges by the jury.
After a dispute, Stallion claimed Lanez shot her in the foot as she got out of the car they were travelling in.
LA County District Attorney George Gascón described how Lanez tried to “silence” Stallion after she accused him of shooting her. In 2020 during a press conference after the sentencing on Tuesday.
According to Gascón, “[Lanez] has engaged in a pattern of behavior over the past three years that was designed to. Intimidate [Stallion], silence her, and prevent her from defending and speaking out about her truth.”
The district attorney said, “[Stallion] stood strong and revealed the events of that fateful night with the jury and the. World despite the physical violence, verbal abuse, and attempts at public humiliation.
Gascón stated that Stallion’s status as a well-known performer has “brought a spotlight on the important issue of violence against women.”
“Many people in our community experience daily acts of violence from persons close to them and are hesitant to report. These incidents i hope that others who feel hopeless may find courage in [Stallion’s] bravery,” he remarked.
Additionally, Gascón read aloud a section of Stallion’s Monday court testimony statement.
“Every day, I consider the people who have survived violent attacks in different parts of the world. When you wonder whether the legal system can really defend you, it is the uttermost sensation of helplessness. Thank goodness, the district attorney’s office defended me.
They and the jury paid close attention to the evidence and sided with the truth, for which I am immensely appreciative. But if that can happen to me, just think about people who don’t have the resources and support networks to. Assist them,” Stallion reportedly remarked, according to the district attorney.
At the news conference, Jose Baez, Lanez’s attorney, called his client’s sentence “incredibly harsh.”
“To receive a ten-year sentence is excessive, just another case of someone being used as a scapegoat due to their celebrity status. He is a human individual, not an example,” Baez added.
As any other individual would be with the news of the sentencing, Lanez is “incredibly sad and down,” according to Baez.
According to him, they aim to file an application for bail in the case because the law permits Lanez to. Be released on bail while an appeal is pending.
The “Savage” singer addressed the situation in an essay for Elle in April.
At the time, she said, “As I think back on the last three years, I view myself as a survivor, because I have truly survived the unimaginable.”
