Rapper Tory Lanez begins trial on charges he shot Megan Thee Stallion in Hollywood

LA Times  

Rapper Tory Lanez, left, is accused of shooting fellow artist Megan Thee Stallion in the foot during a 2020 argument in Hollywood. “How the f— you get shot in your foot, don’t hit no bones or tendons?” the Canadian rapper asked in the opening track to his 2020 release, “Daystar.” “How the f— your team is tryna to paint me as some whole menace?” In the critically panned, hourlong album, Lanez repeatedly said the superstar Houston rapper and her team framed him for the July 2020 attack that sent her to a Los Angeles hospital, while bemoaning their lost friendship. “I’m deeply sorry … so I feel crazy that I made a mistake,” Peterson said, according to a partial transcript of the call read in court by prosecutors during a preliminary hearing last year. “But the truth of the matter is, the reason my client said everything and apologized about everything he did, but never mentioned the shooting, is because that’s not what he was apologizing for.” During his opening statement Monday, Mgdesyan said the case was about “jealousy” between Pete and Harris. “She’s a prosecution witness and she has a contemporaneous text message that she sent that is marked in time forever and ever where she says, without any doubt, ‘Tory shot Meg,’” Spiro said of Harris.
