Tory Lanez, a Canadian rapper, was tried on charges he shot Megan Thee Stallion outside a Hollywood Hills mansion in 2020.

Prosecutors also have pointed to voicemails and texts Peterson sent to Harris and Pete in which he apologized for his behavior within 24 hours of the incident, though he never actually admits to a crime. Alexander Bott called on jurors to use their common sense and infer the only thing Peterson could have been sorry for was the shooting. She teared up repeatedly and expressed regret for coming forward at all about the incident. Peterson’s team has tried to shift the blame toward Harris. From the get-go, his defense team has tried to knock down Pete’s explanation of her failure to report the shooting right away. He questioned why only Peterson had been tested for DNA, and not Harris or Peterson’s driver, Jaquan Smith. If convicted on all counts and a pair of sentencing enhancements, he faces up to 23 years in prison. The pair was riding in an SUV with a woman named Kelsey Harris — a longtime friend of Pete’s from whom she is now estranged — and Peterson’s bodyguard. Weeks later, however, she accused Peterson in an Instagram Live video of shooting her. Initially, Pete told police that she was hurt by stepping on broken glass at Jenner’s party. Prosecutors said the two artists got into a heated dispute when Pete derided Peterson’s rap skills. He is accused of shooting Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete.

Megan Thee Stallion's boyfriend, Pardison "Pardi" Fontaine, spoke of his girlfriend's "courage" amid her ongoing shooting trial against Tory Lanez.

Asked why the family has not filed a missing person’s report, Zweiback told ABC News they “don’t trust law enforcement” after they started to “harass the family” following Justin’s Edison’s disappearance. “As this matter involves a trial in progress we decline to comment,” a spokesperson for the DA’s office told ABC News on Tuesday when asked to confirm reports that investigators are looking for Justin Edison. Harold Edison’s attorney, Michael Zweiback, told "GMA" that the court issued a bench warrant for Justin Edison after he failed to appear in court, leading to “continual harassment” of the Edison family as they searched for Justin. Harold Edison said that investigators from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office are searching for his son after he failed to appear for his scheduled testimony, with a SWAT team entering his home and placing him in handcuffs in front of his 8-year-old daughter.

Lanez's lawyer argued Megan Thee Stallion made up a fake story about the shooting for publicity reasons, CNS reports. I’d also like to thank the jurors for their time and thoughtful deliberation, and our trial team for their tireless pursuit of the truth. According to Deputy DA Kathy Ta, the shooting stemmed from Megan Thee Stallion disrespecting Lanez's music career, the City News Service reports. On Friday afternoon, rapper Tory Lanez was found guilty of three felonies in the 2020 shooting of hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion. He was also accused of using the gun and injuring Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete.

Rapper Tory Lanez was found guilty of all three charges in Megan Thee Stallion shooting. After the verdict was read, the court erupted in chaos.

“She had to think about it because she was concerned about what it would cost her, and it cost her a lot.” She said it was Peterson’s “bruised ego” that led to the shooting. Ta said the case was “not about anyone’s sex life” and urged jurors to look at the evidence and sworn testimony. She said the non-exclusive relationship left her feeling “embarrassed,” and ultimately, she considered it irrelevant to the violence that landed her in the hospital. While Harris refused to implicate Peterson, she also said it was “ridiculous” for Peterson’s defense to claim she was the shooter. She was adamant he was the triggerman, not her former friend Harris. “Because I was shot, I’ve been turned into some kind of villain, and he’s the victim. Megan told jurors that said she lied to investigators about stepping on glass because she was afraid of what police might do if they knew someone in the group had fired a gun. The Grammy winner, 27, said she dropped to the ground and crawled to a nearby driveway. “He was holding the gun, pointing it at me.” I couldn’t believe he was shooting at me,” she testified in the packed courtroom. “I want to start by highlighting the bravery of Megan,” District Attorney George Gascón added.

The charges stem from a dispute that took place after the rappers left a pool party at Kylie Jenner's house in Los Angeles in 2020. Lanez was accused of ...

As the prosecution called DNA and gunshot residue (GSR) experts, much of the direct evidence of the case didn't help prove what happened that night: Both Kelsey Harris and Tory Lanez had GSR on their hands. Harris' testimony was also expected to lay the grounds for the defense to explore the theory that she, not Peterson, was the shooter in this incident. Playback of Harris's recorded testimony shifted suspicion of coercion back to the defendant, as Harris told prosecutors Peterson offered both women $1 million each to keep quiet about the incident. Pete talked about being repeatedly doubted and ostracized by some in the "big, boys' club" of the music industry, and being ridiculed, slut-shamed and threatened online. The charges stem from a dispute that took place on July 12, 2020, after the rappers left a pool party at Kylie Jenner's house in Los Angeles. The Canadian artist was convicted on all charges in a Los Angeles courtroom on Dec 23.

She [told](https://www.billboard.com/pro/megan-three-stallion-trial-testimony-tory-lanez-shooting-case-recap/) the jury: “I wish [Peterson] had just shot and killed me.” The defense went on to argue that this was a case about jealousy between Pete and Kelsey Harris, her former friend and ex-assistant, who both allegedly had intimate relationships with Peterson. On his recent album “Her Loss,” Drake made a reference to Pete, saying “this bitch lie ’bout getting shots but she still a stallion.” There are many lies.” She also vehemently denied the claim that she was the one who shot Pete amid speculation implied by Peterson’s defense team, who argued their client’s DNA was not found on the weapon. She was not able to definitively confirm that Peterson had shot the gun. During closing arguments, Deputy District Attorney Alexander Bott reminded the jury that the case was about Pete.

Peterson was convicted on one felony count each of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, negligent discharge of a firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.
