Tory Lanez must have been extremely convinced of his innocence if reports are true that he turned down a four-year plea deal before being sentenced to 10 years for the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. It was first revealed in November 2021 that the rapper refused the plea deal, and the deadline for him to reach an agreement passed with no agreement made.
Megan opened up about the shooting in a 2020 New York Times op-ed where she wrote about why she chose to "Speak Up for Black Women". She became emotional while giving testimony during the trial, stating at one point that she wished “he woulda shot and killed me if I knew I would go through this torture”.
The verdict came days before Christmas 2022 and Lanez received 10 years in prison last month. Lanez is now working to appeal his case and is seeking bail. In an attempt to gain his release, it's reported he married the mother of his child while in jail.
It's clear that Lanez was steadfast in his belief that he was innocent, declining a plea deal that could have put an end to the legal battle and set him free. However, the jury found him guilty and he now must serve his sentence.
