TORY LANEZ: Declines Plea Deal

Rolling Stone reports that Tory Lanez will go to trial over allegedly shooting Megan Thee Stallion.

He was previously in talks about some sort of a plea deal in his felony assault case, but didn’t manage to reach an agreement before (Wednesday) deadline. He’s now due in court next month on December 14th for a preliminary hearing. The Deputy District Attorney Kathy Ta indicated that the hearing is expected to include around an hour and a half of testimony. 

He’s facing charges for assault with a semiautomatic weapon and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. If convicted, he faces up to 22 years and eight months in prison. 

Tory reacted to the news via Twitter, where he wrote, “The wording of this is amazingly inaccurate… I wasn’t unable to do anything. They offered what they offered so I wouldn’t go to trial and I declined. It’s very simple… And no I will not be giving any live testimony, please report real news and accurate facts.” He followed that up with, “Truly been staying out the way and becoming more of a positive person to myself and others… And allow me to continue. That’s all I ask.”
