Rapper Tory Lanez Faces Potential Long Prison Term in Megan Thee Stallion Shooting Case

Rapper Tory Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, faces potential lengthy imprisonment as he is set to be sentenced after being convicted of shooting and wounding fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion

Prosecutors in Los Angeles are seeking a 13-year prison sentence for Lanez, who was found guilty of multiple felonies related to the shooting incident

Prosecutors highlighted Lanez's social media posts that allegedly re-traumatized Megan Thee Stallion and incited his followers to attack her

Megan Thee Stallion may provide a victim impact statement in court during the sentencing or have one read on her behalf

Lanez's defense lawyers argue for probation and release to a residential substance abuse program, contesting the evidence and claiming lack of remorse

Lanez was convicted of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having an unregistered firearm, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence

The sentencing process was marked by drama and outbursts from Lanez's supporters during the reading of the guilty verdict

Megan Thee Stallion testified during the trial that Lanez had shot at her feet and demanded she dance, and the incident occurred after leaving a party at Kylie Jenner's home
