LOS ANGELES- Trial is scheduled to start Monday for singer/rapper Tory Lanez who was charged with assault and weapons possession in connection to the shooting of rapper Megan Thee Stallion, according to reports.
The judge, Superior Court Judge David Herriford did say proceedings could be delayed as late as December 8, according to MyLaNews.
Deputy District Attorney Alexander Bott told the judge to order the rapper to be taken into custody without bail while awaiting trial for his charges that include assault with a semiautomatic firearm and carrying a loaded unregistered firearm in a vehicle.
Prosecutors say Lanez has shown “such a flagrant disregard for the court’s orders”, the news outlet reports. They stated that Tory had violated court orders not to come within 100 yards of Megan Thee Stallion and has even written about her on his social media, which is also a violation.
They also brought up how Tory allegedly punched a man and knocked him out in September while in Chicago.
Tory is accused of allegedly shooting Megan Thee Stallion in her foot on July 12, 2020 in L.A. after they had attended a party together.
