At one point, Tory reportedly begged the judge: \u201cPlease don\u2019t ruin my life, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are courts and other aspects of the justice system that do ruin people\u2019s lives. But someone who fires a gun at someone, lacerating their feet with bullet fragments? That\u2019s ruining your own life \u2014 and possibly someone else\u2019s.<\/p>\nLAS VEGAS, NEVADA \u2013 MAY 15: Megan Thee Stallion accepts the \u201cTop Rap Female\u201d Artist award onstage during the 2022 Billboard Music Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 15, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

After the 2020 incident, the world saw footage of Megan limping near the SUV \u2014 she and Tory had been riding together.<\/p>\n
In her footsteps, she had left a trail of blood. At first, she was reluctant to name the shooter, even when medical professionals could tell that this was not \u201cbroken glass.\u201d<\/p>\nTory Lanez takes part in his album listening event on SiriusXM\u2019s The Heat Channel at SiriusXM Studios on March 2, 2018.

Some of Tory\u2019s family had to leave the courtroom after the jury read the verdict.<\/p>\n
Apparently, they believed that he was somehow innocent.<\/p>\nTory Lanez performs onstage during the Meadows Music And Arts Festival \u2013 Day 2 at Citi Field on September 16, 2017 in New York City.

The truth is that a lot of people had never heard <\/em>of him before Megan Thee Stallion\u2019s feet looked like they\u2019d been through a cheese grater.<\/p>\nMeanwhile, Tory hired attorney Jose Baez to work on his appeal. Recognize that name? He won Casey Anthony\u2019s acquittal about a decade ago. So \u2026 that\u2019s a choice.<\/p>\nMegan Thee Stallion performs during Preakness LIVE Culinary, Art & Music Festival.

That is a vast improvement over spinning conspiracy theories.<\/p>\nHe insisted that he is not a monster, despite his actions. Tory alleged that he feels both sympathy and remorse.<\/p>\n
Of course, many people who cannot feel those things are good people. And many people who can feel those things do evil deeds anyway.<\/p>\nNEWARK, NEW JERSEY \u2013 SEPTEMBER 13: Tory Lanez performs on stage at Prudential Center on September 13, 2019 in Newark, New Jersey.

Well, the guy was facing more than 22 years (10 is less than half of that) for firing an unregistered gun towards another human being.<\/p>\n
Oh, and that human being is also a celebrity. One with much, much <\/em>more name recognition. But Baez is just doing his job. And that includes his plans to appeal anything and everything, as long as Tory keeps paying him.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nSource link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was nearly three years ago that Megan Thee Stallion identified Tory Lanez as the shooter who sent her to the emergency room.
