Rapper Tory Lanez declined to testify in his shooting trial.
“Tory Lanez will not take the stand. Both sides have rested and the jury was given instructions this morning,” and LA Times reporter tweeted from the courtroom. “Closing arguments will begin this afternoon at 130pm.”
He added: “Jaquan Smith, Tory’s driver, was present and on defense witness list but prosecutors asked for a continuance past the Christmas break if he was to testify, per defense attorney George Mgdesyan. At his clients request not to delay proceedings, Mgdesyan declined to call him.”
Things are looking good for Tory. Megan’s former BFF, Kelsey walked back on her testimony that she saw him shoot Megan. Forensic scientist Marc Scott Taylor told the court that Lanez’s DNA was not found on the magazine of the gun used in the shooting. Another witness claims he witnessed “violent” fight between two women and that even though he saw an “angry male” get involved, he believe he saw a woman shoot first.
