The charges stem from a dispute that took place after the rappers left a pool party at Kylie Jenner's house in Los Angeles in 2020. Lanez was accused of assaulting Megan by shooting her in both feet.
Tory Lanez, real name Daystar Peterson, stood trial for three felony charges; assault with a semi-automatic firearm, possession of a concealed, unregistered firearm, negligent discharge of a firearm.
During the last two weeks of witness and expert statements, the jury and members of the public observed emotional testimony from the victim herself, unexpected twists in testimony and varied interpretations of the hard evidence in the case. After Pete's statements, the prosecution's key witness, Kelsey Harris, recanted her statement, delivering a blow to their case. Harris, the former best friend and assistant of Pete, was in the vehicle with the two rappers that night. Harris' testimony was highly anticipated as potential corroboration for Pete's account of the night, which pegged Peterson as the shooter.
As the prosecution called DNA and gunshot residue experts, much of the direct evidence of the case didn't help prove what happened that night: Both Kelsey Harris and Tory Lanez had GSR on their hands. Tory's DNA was not found on the magazine of the firearm, but when it came to the firearm itself, the defendant's DNA results came back inconclusive.
