Tory Lanez's lawyers are filing a motion for a new trial citing multiple grounds.
In an interview for the July cover issue of , Megan stated that at the conclusion of the trial, "I want him to go to jail. I want him to go under the jail."
Prosecutors say that in July 2020, in the early morning hours after a party in Los Angeles, Lanez allegedly lashed out at Megan after she criticized his musical career, allegedly firing toward her feet as she walked away from the car they had both been riding in along with Kelsey Harris -- Megan's best friend and assistant at the time.
A visual of the text chain presented in the courtroom showed that Harris texted Edison"Help" at 4:27 a.m. on July 12, 2020."Tory Shot Meg," the next line read."911," the third bubble read. "I just don't feel good," Megan told the court after being asked by Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Kathy Ta if she was nervous, according to Megan was directed to recount her personal relationships with both Lanez and Harris, and said that she and Lanez began arguing as they were driving away from a party at Jenner’s house with Lanez, his bodyguard and Harris. Lanez was allegedly upset with Megan because she asked him to leave the party.
"As soon as he started shooting, I put my head down," Megan claimed, stating that she lowered her head because"I was scared, and I didn't move." "This was at the height of police brutality... I felt like if I said this man just shot me, I didn't know if they might shoot first and ask questions later," she testified. She also noted how"in the Black community... it's not really acceptable to be cooperating with police officers."
"Not a day goes by without being called a liar," she continued."This whole thing is about who I was having sex with, not who shot me, and I don't know why."If you are using ad-blocking software, please disable it and reload the page."I'm embarrassed because I'm a grown woman hanging with people I have no business hanging out with," she said about her regrets over the incident."Now look at how everybody want to view me….
When Mgdesyan took over for cross-examination, he asked Megan if she had lied about her relationship with Lanez during, as well as to police and prosecutors, which she confirmed. Harris explained that she's known Megan since their freshman year of college, dating back to 2013. The rapper asked Harris to be her assistant in 2018, a role which would involve traveling with Megan while assisting her in various duties. "She and I were very close friends, she trusted me, I trusted her," Harris testified.
Harris claimed that she left with Megan but had to return to Jenner's place because Megan forgot something. She said Megan went inside and found Lanez there, which is when a fight ensued. She claimed she doesn't know what was said or what happened because she wasn't inside but, when Megan returned with Lanez, Megan claimed Jenner kicked them out.
The DA reminded Harris that she previously confirmed both events during a September 2022 interview with the prosecution. She responded that she"guesses" she said that, but ultimately didn't recall. Harris once again claimed she doesn’t recall the exact words and said"it’s a blur," to which the DA responded,"when you spoke to us in September, it wasn't a blur was it?"
But Harris noted that she doesn’t want any connection or correlation to Lanez and rejected his alleged offers for money, saying that she told him "I don't need you to do anything for me. Although Harris admitted she went to check on Megan after hearing gunshots, she claimed not to know where the blood she saw came from and couldn't recall whether Megan was bleeding.
