Tory Lanez’s Lawyer Advised Him Not To Blame Megan Thee Stallion Shooting On Kelsey Harris

New Unsealed Emails Show Tory Lanez’s Lawyer Advised Him Not To Blame Megan Thee Stallion Shooting On Kelsey Harris

With Tory’s sentencing on the horizon, new information has been released about his legal team’s strategy during the Megan Thee Stallion shooting trial and according to new reports, it looks like he was advised not to blame Kelsey for the shooting.

In an exclusive report by Meghan Cuniff, she details the formerly sealed emails between Lanez and his lawyer.

Per the report, “Tory Lanez’s original lawyer rejected his idea to try to persuade jurors that Megan Thee Stallion’s now-former friend fired the gun the night Megan was shot in the Hollywood Hills nearly three years ago.”

“As we discussed on Saturday, I am not comfortable advancing the ‘Kelsie Defense’ , primarily because I don’t find it to be a viable strategy,” Shawn Holley wrote. Holley says she would consider it if Lanez and his driver were able to be persuasive on the stand, but even then she wouldn’t be 100% confident in taking that legal stance. She even suggested he find another lawyer willing to take that route.

“Even if both of those benchmarks (Quan/you) were to be satisfied, I am still not certain that I would be willing to go forward,” Holley wrote. “In light of that, you should discuss with George his willingness and ability to move forward with that defense and if he can do so by the trial date,” she wrote.

Per the report, “Holley was referring to attorney George Mgdesyan, who went on to push the “Kelsie defense” in a trial narrative that cast Lanez as the victim of two women who violently fought over their shared romantic interest in him.”

And despite Mgdesyan arguing that it was Harris, not Lanez, who fired five rounds at Megan from a semi-automatic firearm, Tory was still found guilty. Looks like Holley might’ve been right about not taking that route.
