The court is finally hearing opening arguments in the Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion shooting case, and both sides are laying out what happened the night Megan was allegedly shot in the foot by Tory.
Prosecutors began opening statements on Monday December 12, 2022 in Los Angeles County Superior Court, claiming that Tory fired 5 shots on the evening of July 12, 2020, striking Megan in both feet because Tory was set off after Megan insulted his skills by sarcastically calling him a “beautiful artist.”
According to the prosecution the text messages sent by, Tory Lanez, whose born name is Daystar Shemuel Shua Peterson, to Megan after the incident admitting to being too drunk and apologizing profusely are pretty damning evidence.
As you may recall, after leaving Kylie Jenner‘s pool party, Tory, Megan and her longtime friend Kelsey Harris were said to have gotten into a black SUV with a man named Jauquan Smith, who prosecutors say drove Tory to the party and brought a 9mm handgun along. At some point, an argument erupted, and Megan demanded to be let out of the car.
According to prosecutors, after Megan, whose born name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, allegedly dissed Tory’s music, Jauquan pulled the truck over and Megan and Kelsey got out. That’s when Tory is said to have fired the gun at Megan, instructing her to “dance bitch.”
As for Tory’s defense team, they claim the pair was at Kylie’s home for a pool party when things went south, and Megan was asked to leave. It appears the defense is trying to steer the jury away from the thought of Tory being the trigger man.
Megan Thee Stallion is slated to take the stand tomorrow as a witness.
