...for one more day.
Alright we are on the 90-minute break. Judge Herriford got 70+ letters of support for Tory Lanez, including one from @IggyAzalea. He briefly summarized each one. Two jailers wrote letters, one spoke in court. Lanez' father, Sonstar Peterson, was the last speaker before the break.

Sonstar tearfully apologized to Judge Herriford for his HUGE outburst in the courtroom after the verdict, said he was emotional and doesn't disrespect the judge.

Before all this, Herriford decided the aggravating factors. Yes to use of a gun and Meg as a vulnerable victim.
But Judge Herriford said no to finding the crime was done with a high-level of callousness. How this will affect the sentence is not yet known. We're going to get into that after lunch, after more speakers.

A jail chaplain spoke about Lanez starting a daily prayer in the protective custody unit that has lessened the tensions between inmates. He said of the 15,000 inmates he's come into contact with, Lanez stands out. He said the daily moment of prayer is really powerful.

I haven't seen the letters yet, but most interesting to me was Herriford saying a jailer wrote a letter that says Lanez "is remorseful" and has "talked in detail about the event and what he could have done to prevent it."

It's the closest we've ever come to Lanez saying he did.
That jailer didn't talk in court, but the chaplain did. (I should be able to get the letters, but maybe not today.)

Judge Herriford said Iggy Azalae's letter asks him to impose a sentence "that is transformational, not life destroying."
Incredibly, Judge Herriford managed to not finish today. We are coming back tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. A few more things to talk about, then argument, then Herriford will sentence Tory Lanez.

Megan did not speak in person, but she submitted a statement that DA Kathy Ta read aloud.

After allll this detailed information why wasn’t it also released what Stallion said that DA Kathy Ta read aloud?
^^^you think that one thing will make a big a difference?!
Does he pray with goons & thugs?
I think they will make an example out of him. So other rappers will think twice before picking up a gun
By the time they get around to sentencing him, he will be going home with time served.
Tory is the type of man that holds in anger instead of addressing the root issue and resolving it. Anyone can say what they are regretful of behind a locked cell. Many criminals don’t have a remorseful dna in their bodies. They just try to move in a different way but still negative.
He got 10 years. Later Tori. I’ll have forgotten all about you by the time you get out.
@7:52 where did I say/ask that it would make a difference? I wanted info of what they mentioned but not reported.
Anyway he got 10 years but I hope he gets probation fast as well as the time he’s already served. That lying man bear stallion beast is a lying hermaphrodite or whatever spreading its stank twerk wind everywhere. At least the one trick pony is on its downfall and nowhere near charting.
They handed down 10 years. Yikes.
Blame it on the alcohol and all parties involved were responsible.
If he didn’t like Megan he should’ve not talk to her. He was playing around loosely like it was a joke cause they was put together for the media.
The wolves pulling straws now! Boochie time! 🧼
Buddy'Ro Got 10years.
He shouldn't have shown his butt so hard during the trial. He took it as a joke, up until it got real, by then, it was too late.
@9:31 pm, In agree
Maybe he should have gotten a little time (time served)
The sentence is too harsh
I agree with you @9:31pm ^^^^^
10 years is a long time! Yikes!
Shouldn’t have been shooting his gun like this is the Wild West. Wow!
This dude got PALYED
He should've fake shot this man 🐴 horse in NYC or Chicago somewhere they got no bail BS good grief there crazies out here chopping people up etc... N this dude goes away for ten n the horse man didn't even do it was below the waste isn't that manslaughter 🥞☕
Yall are so dumb. He is a foreigner who violated probation in Cali and showed NO remorse. He is lucky he just got 10 years....dummies
Tory should have paid Megan and she should have accepted it. Short of that, he should not have acted a fool in court.
We still don't know why he shot her. He should write a book telling everything about that event even if he can't make any money from it.
