Tory Lanez's lawyers have been hard at work since the Toronto rapper was found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion. On Tuesday, August 1, they filed a 41-page memo outlining Lanez's innocence and asking for a light sentence of probation and drug rehabilitation.
Lanez's defense team is calling into question the quality of the investigation that determined their client was the one who fired the five rounds that injured Megan in Los Angeles' Hollywood Hills. The filing claims that the evidence of Lanez's guilt is "questionable at best and by no means overwhelming", and attributes his actions to his childhood trauma and alcohol-use disorder.
The lawyers are hoping to avoid the 13-year sentence prosecutors are aiming for. They cite Lanez's lack of accountability and the "campaign of misinformation" he spread about the case. The prosecutors note that his online reach is worldwide and that his statements have "re-traumatized" the victim.
The sentencing will take place on Monday at 10:30 am before Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge David Herriford. It is yet to be seen what the outcome of this case will be, but one thing is certain: Tory Lanez's lawyers are not giving up the fight for his release.
