Tory Lanez’s sentencing in the shooting of rapper Megan Thee Stallion has been delayed for a second time, which is unusual and is leading to rumors that the hip hop star may be working out some sort of a deal with prosecutors, Media take Out is hearing.
Lanez’s sentencing which was slated for January, has been rescheduled multiple times. A sentencing hearing was supposed to happen and is being delayed following Lanez’s motion for the new trial.
Lanez’s attorneys claim the judge “erroneously allowed” jurors to view a September 2020 Instagram post from Lanez claiming Meg’s former bestie, Kelsey Harris, was not the shooter. In the post, Joshua Farias, who was responsible for posting on the rapper’s account, was the one who replied, “that’s not true” to a comment on The Shade Room’s account stating, “People saying Kelsey shot her.”
“The court erred on numerous questions of law in allowing the People to introduce this post, depriving defendant of a fair trial,” the new motion reads. “The only acceptable remedy for this miscarriage of justice is a new trial.”
Lanez is currently waiting to be sentenced but could receive up to 22 years in prison. During the trial, Megan Thee Stallion testified that Lanez told her to “dance, bitch,” and shot her in the feet following a party at Kylie Jenner’s home.
But Tory may be Abe to have his time severely cut – if, for example, he were to exchange information with the District Attorney, that could implicate someone else in a crime, Media Take Out has learned.
We’re going to have to wait and see what is holding up the sentencing ….
