Tory Lanez’s lawyer has attempted to prove his client is innocent of shooting Megan Thee Stallion by claiming the “5-foot-2” rapper wasn’t tall enough to be the gunman.
Closing arguments in the felony assault trial began on Wednesday (December 21), during which Tory’s defense attorney, George Mgdesyan, provided a comical moment in court by claiming the diminutive rapper is too short to have shot Megan from out of a window of a Cadillac Escalade during the alleged July 2020 incident.
“There was a light moment for Tory Lanez today during his lawyer’s closing,” Law & Crime reporter Meghann Cuniff tweeted. “Mgdesyan referenced his height, saying he’s ‘what, 5-foot-2’ and ‘I don’t even know if he can get over the door to shoot.'”
Tory — who declined to take the witness stand during Wednesday’s session — apparently didn’t take offense to his lawyer’s comment, though. “Lanez laughed for a bit over that one,” Cuniff added.
Elsewhere in his closing argument, which will conclude on Thursday morning (December 22), Mgdesyan claimed the prosecution’s case is “full of holes” and “speculation,” while scrutinizing Megan Thee Stallion’s testimony from last week.
The lawyer questioned Megan’s claim that she has gone through “torture” since accusing Tory of shooting her, claiming his client is the true victim. He also pointed to Meg’s admission that she lied about not being intimate with Lanez prior to the shooting.
“How do you believe anything Megan Pete says, ladies and gentlemen? And keep in mind reasonable doubt,” Mgdesyan told the jury. “My client is being falsely accused. Megan Pete is a liar. She lied about everything in this case.”
The prosecution’s closing argument, meanwhile, focused on Megan’s testimony, in which she tearfully recounted the events before and after the shooting that left her with bullet fragments in her feet.
“This is the critical question in this case: Was Meg telling the truth that afternoon?” Deputy District Attorney Alexander Bott asked the jury. “I think everybody in this courtroom knows the answer to that question.”
He added: “If you believe Megan and what she said last Tuesday, this case is over. We’re done. If you believe Megan, that’s enough.”
Once closing arguments have wrapped, jurors are expected to be given approximately 47 items of evidence to pore over, including audio of the 911 call, home security footage featuring the gunshots and videos of Megan on the ground after the police stop. A verdict is expected in the coming days.
Tory Lanez faces three charges in connection with the shooting: felony assault with a semiautomatic firearm, possession of a concealed, unregistered firearm and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. He has pleaded not guilty to all three.
If convicted, the Toronto-born rapper faces up to 22 years and eight months behind bars, as well as subsequent deportation to Canada.
I hope Tory wins this case. But if he does, damn he will be the butt of all jokes. And I have no doubt the industry and feminists will try to make him the new OJ Simpson. Expect that Meg civil lawsuit shortly after if she loses.
Bro be like “I love Tory he can do no wrong his ass tastes so good to me!”
She wouldn’t be losing the case because she isn’t suing him. The state brought charges against him. Aside from which, he’s already been the butt of jokes long before this whole thing. I hope justice is served more than anything. If the prosecution is making arguments this week, that boy going back to Canada.
That’s what the inmates are waiting to say once he gets locked up.
So you came here to talk that gay shit? This ain’t the site to pick up men. Keep steppin
I hope whoever is telling the truth wins the case… but I’m one of those weirdo’s that enjoys facts.
He’s not tall enough…. That’s why they make step ladders for,fool.
Wow yall really support this hoe just because she a woman. In the modern era, a woman can do no wrong. Where are the foot xrays ? Explain to me how you get shot in the foot and the bullet doesnt hit any bone or tendon ? How is that scientifically possible ?
how can you be an OG and still lay up at ur mamas crib?
He’s OG Percy he’s allowed to do it
you just like the idea of owning people bro, that’s why you’re politicizing this shit. You don’t care about actual justice and your original comment states that. What stake do you have in this shit other than saying that you or your team wins? Grow up fam, this is not how an OG acts.
Hey I have shortman syndrome we tend to get mad at stupid things and we to short to aim correctly. So we miss the foot and hit the ground causing Buller fragments to hit her foot not an actual Bullet . You a tall dumb asss og. Og for original gay.
Meg’s story hasn’t lined up at all, she’s been caught lying about small mundane details so anyone who just downright believes her doesn’t know how to think for themselves. Pretty evident since everyone here trying to dick ride meg can’t do anything but insult you, the only tactic male feminists can do is get in their emotions. None of them seem to remember meg twerking on stage less than 24 hours after being shot loool
Yeah going to trial is all for nothing, only reason why people believe her is just cause she’s a woman and all to support some ideology you don’t like or makes you feel immasculated. Bingo. Real big brain over here.
Im a little confused and peep non of us on this site were in the car/truck that night… but women will accuse their man of hitting them, slapping them, choking them whatever. Aint no chick lying on another man shooting her, stop acting like Meg is Kanye all of a sudden.
With that logic there would never be false rape accusations. “Aint no chick” yes there are tons of women who get vindictive and lie to ruin men’s lives.
Even his own lawyers are getting in on the fun clowning him 😂
He aimed at her feet, didn’t he?
That would explain why he aimed at her feet
Canada Sucks
If she’s a hoe, then what is Tory?? Also, Tory lied too, he just lied to protect himself and not other people
