Tory Lanez Found GUILTY Of Shooting Megan Thee Stallion

[donwuan]

How can he fire the gun and not have his dna on it....?

He had gun powder from the shots on him. His truck and his gun. Evidence Meg was shot. Evidence he beat up her friend. Proof he tried to pay off witness. His defence was ass. If he wouldn't have been mouthing off on the net Meg wouldn't have exposed him.



Accused of shooting rapper Megan Thee Stallion, multiple forensic scientists concluded that there was no DNA from Lanez — born Daystar Peterson — located on the gun magazine.

Los Angeles Police Department criminologists revealed four bullet casings recovered at the scene of the shooting were matched to the 9mm semiautomatic handgun found in the vehicle where Lanez had been seated. Another testified that DNA testing on the actual gun was inconclusive, but that Peterson’s DNA was not detected on the gun’s magazine.

Law and Crime reported the scientific testimony concluded Lanez cannot be excluded from the DNA found on the actual gun. Additionally, the report details the recording, where Harris informs law enforcement that she saw Lanez shoot Megan Thee Stallion, a statement she backtracked on the stand. Additionally, Harris alleges Lanez “picks me up like a little doll,” and proceeded “hitting me, slapping me.”

She continued in the recording, “But then I became afraid for my life when he started pulling on my hair and neck, because it was really hard.” Jurors were shown images of Harris with bruises and missing hair clumps.

Test results show that both Harris and Lanez tested positive for gun residue. Although gun shot residue particles travel quickly, it shows that both were in the same vicinity.

I never understood how everyone had such a straight face while this was occurring

WRONG and WRONG.

Most lay people mistakenly believe 'assault' requires physical contact. That is incorrect. Simply pointing a firearm at another person can constitute the offense.

"To be convicted under Penal Code 245(a)(2), the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt each of the following elements:

1. You acted with a firearm1 in such a manner and by its nature would directly and reasonably result in the application of force upon another person.
2. Your act was intentional.
3. When you acted, you did so with the awareness of a reasonable person that your act would directly and probably result in the application of force on another person.
4. And when you acted, you had the present ability to apply force with the firearm.

Example
Pointing a loaded firearm at someone constitutes this offense, regardless of your stated intent to shoot that person since your act could have resulted in the application of force.

Other examples include:

Pistol whipping someone regardless if the firearm was loaded

Shooting at someone though intentionally missing them

Waving a loaded firearm at a person"

You're correct, but he wasn't charged with assaulting an empty space in the middle of an open field.

It was a "Person" in this case that he was charged with assaulting, and that "Person" was Meg.

I get it, it's in the language and the specifics of the charges and the specifics in the conviction of those charges.

Wasn't part of the witness statement that Tory fired the gun in the air? I'm taking that as not pointing toward Meg which means Tory didn't assault Meg by the definition you are using. It can be argued that his reckless behavior possible leads to her being hurt, but that was not the intent. He could not have known the bullets would go anywhere near Meg assuming he shoot above himself into the air.

The witness testimony was said to be all over the place too, but he was not intoxicated like the involved parties and doesn't have anything to gain from his testimony to our knowledge.

 

[donwuan]

You have 3 drunks. Two who happened to be famous and rich. One man and two women. The man is fucking both, while also trying to fuck a well known white chick earlier that night. One the women got in her feeling about it(MEG) and decided to use that as an excuse to shit on his career. He took exception to it. At some point all three begin to argue. With his anger mostly being directed toward Meg. He pulls out a gun and tells the "bitch to dance" while firing shots.

You have eye witnesses see the man shooting the gun. The bff tells the cops in a recorded interview that Tory shot the gun. The bff sends a text saying he shot the gun. And Tory very apologetic about something that happened that night. Never says what though.

The jury decided he was guilty based on that. Meg said he shot her. Thee bff said he shot Meg. She didn't shoot herself, so those two were the only ones who could've done it. No one ever puts the gun in Kelseys, other than the defense trying to save Tory.

Not to mention he beat up the friend. Police has pics of bruises, hair missing, and her testimony saying he beat her up and she feared for her life.

Not my definition. The State of California’s definition. The only one that matters. There was also testimony he fired the gun in her direction. Her friend’s recorded statement to the police was played for the jury saying just that.
Like I said, I’m not really debating testimony because I didn’t hear ALL of it. Just correcting misconceptions that are causing folk to argue about whether he shot her. That doesn’t matter and was not a charge against him.

The point is that to assault a person, the person does not have to get shot. The defendant doesn’t even have to pull the trigger.

You asked how he got convicted of assault with a semi automatic weapon after I said it didn’t matter if she got shot. I responded to that with the law. Not my opinion. California law.

[ghoststrike]

FIRST and foremost, he was NOT convicted of shooting Meg. Period.

Convictions were for:

1. Assault with a Semi-Automatic Handgun
2. Carrying A Loaded Unregistered Firearm in a Vehicle
3. Discharging a Firearm with Gross Negligence

None....let me repeat muthafuckas, NONE of these offenses require that anyone actually got hit with a bullet.....hell, the first offense does not even require that the gun was fired at all.

Who'd he get convicted of assaulting with a semiautomatic handgun?

Ummmm. Assault with a handgun means you shot somebody.

Actually, both things can be true according to the legal definition:

Under Penal Code 245(a)(2) PC, California law defines assault with a firearm as assaulting a victim with the use of a

• pistol,
• rifle,
• shotgun,
• semiautomatic firearm,
• machine gun,
• .50 BMG rifle, or
• assault weapon.

The assault may take the form of

• pointing the firearm at the victim,
• striking or “pistol-whipping” the victim,
• firing the gun at the victim, or
• actually shooting the victim.

California law defines an “assault” in Penal Code 240 PC as an unlawful attempt to commit a violent injury on someone else—coupled with the present ability to do so. An assault can occur even if no one is actually injured. 1 2

Examples

Here are some examples of people who might be charged under California’s “assault with a firearm” law:

• A man who is angry that is ex-wife is seeing another man confronts her outside of her apartment and points a gun at her.
• During an argument over a parking space, a woman retrieves a rifle from the trunk of her car and waves it at the person she is arguing with.
• After losing at a pool game in a bar, a man goes out to his car, comes back with a handgun, and tries to use it to club the other person over the head.

Penal Code § 245a2 PC - "Assault With a Firearm"

https://youtu.be/-0dz6_SXPeg Under Penal Code 245(a)(2) PC, California law defines assault with a firearm as assaulting a victim with the use of a pistol, rifle, shotgun, semiautomatic firearm, machine gun, .50 BMG rifle, or assault weapon. The assault may take the form of pointing the firearm...

Test results show that both Harris and Lanez tested positive for gun residue. Although gun shot residue particles travel quickly, it shows that both were in the same vicinity.

The witness also confirmed that Tory was getting physical with them. Kelseys statement also leaves out the part about her and Meg fighting and her potentially having possession of the gun. What Kelsey could be recalling was Tory trying to get the gun away from her, but I do believe he went beyond that.

The text and the money part didn't help Tory, but that doesn't prove he intentionally shot Meg or in her direction. Personally, I believe it is a high chance Tory did shot Meg or in her direction. But for me, it was not proven without a doubt.

Sad. I bet he is BIG mad. Things where looking up for him. At the height of his career, at that. There’s little to nothing can be done on his behalf. He’ll do mad years for this little stunt. Kudos to him for standing tall through it. That’s what any lowercase g would do. Stay 10-toes up! Hopefully his agents will do a mini series giving us the low down; cuz surely we don’t know the half of it. What I know for sure is being famous will make him a target in prison, so he’d better make a name for hisself day ONE and claim the top bassinet.

 

[Entrepronegro]

I hope Megan's career take a hit because of this cause this shit is ridiculous what this man is facing.

I didn't say it was your definition. I said the definition you were using. As in what you were referencing.

I don't get the debate about her getting shot. End of the day, she was hurt by part of a bullet. Technically you could get full on shot the bullet passes through you and fragments could be left behind. Not saying that was the case with Meg. I'm just saying if that is people's defense for Tory it isn't the best.

 

[ghoststrike]

No one disagreed with this.

I was pointing out the legal definition since one of the replies I quoted stated: "Ummmm. Assault with a handgun means you shot somebody." mentioned the need to shoot someone to catch the "Assault with a Firearm" charge. That's not true. Additionally, there are probably others who have the same assumption.

Legal definition aside, there's no question she was shot, whether intentional or not, from the surgeon's testimony. If not for this case, he prob would have been caught up in another case. Dude is a hot head.

They







They make u do time b4 they deport u

Trust me i know enough ppl who got deported

Chaos erupts in courtroom following Tory Lanez guilty verdict

The courtroom quickly erupted into pandemonium, with Lanez's father standing and yelling, calling the system "wicked'' and the prosecutors "evil'' before he was escorted out of court by bailiffs.

​

 

[jack walsh13]

I disagree. Look at the people celebrating the verdict. They're her audience and are with her no matter what.

And more importantly, look at the state of Hip Hop. No one cares if rappers are snitches, liars, fakkits or whores these days.

She'll be fine.

Yup. Stupid ass bitches on social media act like she just won a lifetime achievement award at the Kenedy Center.

Prison gonna be rough on him especially since he brought this all on himself...gotta feel like shit knowing how good you had it and how you fucked it up...deportation will be rough professionally but there are a lot worse places to be deported to than Canada...shit, if it wasnt for the damn cold, I think a lot of Americans would move to Canada

I thought there was reasonable doubt but I listened to blog snippets here and there via BGOL and others and did not listen to actual court testimony

 

[John Million]

​

yeah I didn't know all this. I was putting Myself in Tory's situation as a reason he should testify not knowing this
Lawyers: How long of a sentence is he lookings at? I keep seeing possible 22 years.
Seems really excessive but I don't know

 

[John Million]

I thought there was reasonable doubt but I listened to blog snippets here and there via BGOL and others and did not listen to actual court testimony

yeah same with me. looks like I missed a lot of info. I really thought he was getting off once the friend plead the 5th

 

[PDQ21]

Isn't that what happened to Slick Rick? He served his time then got deported back in the '90s.

Nah he didn't get deported

Went went to perform out of the country and they didn't let him back in

He was locked up in customs smh
That's the worst shit ever cause u stuck in limbo after u done did all ya time

 

[PDQ21]

​

He didn't assault August on camera tho that's just lies lol

Was an b4 and after nothing that shows he did it

 

[BlueCarpetTreatment]

Not to mention he beat up the friend. Police has pics of bruises, hair missing, and her testimony saying he beat her up and she feared for her life.

That’s not what the witness said. He said Meg and Kelsey were fighting and muzzle flashes from Kelsey happened initially during that fight.

fucking Canadians

Celebs like Tory and Brittany Griner need to understand that breaking the law in a foreign country is a dumbass thing to do. Dumb niggas do shit like get caught in customs and rich white neighborhoods contraband then play victims because of their stupidity.

Follow the rules and you might not get violated. Firing a gun as black foreign national in a racist ass country is boarderline insane.

Somebody need to tell him and his dad they choose the option to fuck around qnd find out. Don't fuck with questionable people and situations when you are out the country.

Nobody forced him to act an ass in a foreign countries. Had he did the same in Europe he would be in the exact situation.
