Jury deliberating whether Tory Lanez shot Megan Thee Stallion

Jurors began deliberations Thursday at the trial of rapper Tory Lanez, who is charged with shooting and wounding hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion in the feet in the Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles back in 2020.

The jury of seven women and five men received the case late Thursday morning after Lanez's defense completed a closing argument from a day earlier, and Los Angeles County prosecutors gave a brief rebuttal.

They will decide on three felony counts brought against the 30-year-old Canadian rapper, who has pleaded not guilty to discharging a firearm with gross negligence, assault with a semiautomatic firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. The counts could lead to up to 22 years in prison and deportation.
