Megan’s written statement, read by the Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Kathy Ta, emphasized that not a single day has passed without suffering since the defendant violently shot her in the feet. Though she is gradually healing, she acknowledged that she will never be the same again. The hip-hop star contemplated whether to present her statement in person but ultimately decided against it, as she couldn’t bear to be in the same room with Tory again. She clarified that her absence should not be misconstrued as indifference and urged Judge David Herriford to deliver a strong sentence. The sentencing, initially expected to conclude on Monday, involved extensive arguments from both sides regarding various factors that could influence the potential sentence for Lanez. Prosecutors are seeking a 13-year sentence for the 31-year-old Lanez, who was convicted of three felonies related to the shooting incident. In addition to the sentencing proceedings, several witnesses, including Lanez’s father and the mother of his son, testified in favor of the rapper. They highlighted his charitable contributions and supportive nature, while rapper Iggy Azalea also advocated for a transformative rather than life-destroying sentence. Throughout the trial, Megan testified that Lanez shot her as she walked away from an SUV after leaving a party at Kylie Jenner’s home. Lanez’s father revealed the emotional toll of the trial on the family, referencing the loss of Lanez’s mother when he was young. The judge’s final decision remained unclear as he weighed various factors, including Megan’s vulnerability during the incident, Lanez’s charitable acts, and attempts to intimidate Megan through social media and lyrics. Despite the heartbreaking events, both Megan and Lanez have seen significant success in their careers, with Megan winning a Grammy for best new artist and Lanez achieving popularity through mixtapes and major-label albums.
