Tory Lanez will stand trial in Megan Thee Stallion shooting case this week. What to know:
The trial is expected to last about eight days, and Pete, 27, will testify this week, according to a spokesman for the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office. It is unclear if Peterson, 30, will testify.
Peterson was first arrested on suspicion of possessing an unregistered firearm. His defense team has questioned Pete’s logic about waiting to report the shooting, noting that, if she were concerned about police behavior, she could have told paramedics or doctors at Cedars-Sinai Hospital how she was injured while having bullet fragments removed from her feet.
“I’m like, ‘What are you talking about? Why are you offering me money right now?’” she said. “Help me! If you sorry, just help me!” The shooting was a critical part of a landmark year for both artists. Pete had been ascendant in rap circles for years butwith the remix of her hit “Savage,” alongside Beyoncé, and the smash hit “WAP,” a raunchy tag-team effort with Cardi B that only gained more attention each time someone complained about the track.
Pete in response to the Drake controversy last month. The rapper herself has at times thrown her hands up in exasperation.“I’m the victim. I’m not defending myself against anything. Something happened to me.”In court last week, Deputy Dist. Atty. Kathy Ta also acknowledged that the lead detective on the case, Ryan Stogner, had been fired from the LAPD in the wake of domestic violence allegations.
It was unclear when Stogner was fired, and the LAPD did not respond to a request for comment. A spokesman for the district attorney’s office would not say when prosecutors became aware of the issue.
