Tory Lanez GUILTY on all 3 counts
Absolute pandemonium erupted in courtroom shortly before Torey Lanez was led away in handcuffs

"This wicked system," Tory's dad Sonstar Peterson yelled as he jumped up from the 1st row

"You two, you are wicked, you are evil," he shouted at the prosecutors before he was led out
Tory’s 6-year-old son started crying in the front row after his grandfather was ushered out. Tory was looking at the child and patted his chest to reassure him

Good morning from day 9 of Tory Lanez felony assault trial in Los Angeles

We’re learning more about Jauquan “Quan” Smith’s presence at the L.A. criminal courthouse yesterday. He was Tory’s driver night of Megan Thee Stallion shooting 🧵 Image
Smith hadn’t provided prior witness statement so prosecutors asked for continuance to next week to prepare, otherwise they'd be going in blind

Good morning from day 8 of Tory Lanez felony assault trial in L.A. Will Tory testify? Chances are slim

Judge ruled Tues: “as the evidence stands,” he wouldn't allow alleged "prior acts of violence" to rebut EJ King’s testimony. But that could change if Tory opens door 🧵 Image
But to impeach, DDA said he would seek to bring in:
Social media posts, rap lyrics, 2019 Miami incident, August Alsina incident, incident w/Love & Hip Hop’ star, 2017 Fla arrest, “Butchering horse meat in song clearly directed @ Megan” & “Talk where he lies about how tall he is”
“I will not testify,” Tory Lanez told judge

Both sides rested, so no testimony from Megan Thee Stallion’s “missing” bodyguard Justin Edison

Closing arguments due to start after lunch break
