Tory Lanez Regrets Not Testifying In The Megan Thee Stallion’s Shooting Trial

Tory Lanez Regrets Not Testifying, Claims He Was Misguided By His Former Attorney

During Tory Lanez’s two-week trial everyone was shocked that he didn’t take the stand. Now the alleged reason why has been revealed.

A source reveals to Rolling Stone that Tory felt like he was misled by his former attorney by lawyer George Mgdesya.

The source claims Mgdesya discouraged him from taking the stand to plead his case. The decision was made after prosecutors told the court they would bring in a substantial amount of evidence if Tory took the stand. Including Tory allegedly assaulting August Alsina in September 2022.

“There is another side of the story at trial which has yet to be told and we look forward to doing so,” David Kenner, Tory Lanez’s new attorney said.

Megan Thee Stallion, whose legal name is Megan Pete, testified during the trial that Lanez fired a handgun at the back of her feet and shouted for her to dance as she walked away from an SUV in which the pair had been riding in the Hollywood Hills in the summer of 2020. She said the two had gotten into a dispute that became heated when she began insulting his music.

She needed surgery to remove bullet fragments from her feet.

The shooting set off a storm of cultural issues and arguments that peaked during the trial, including the reluctance of Black victims to speak to police, the protection of Black women, gender politics in hip-hop, and online toxicity.
