Tory Lanez Was Convicted — But What Does the Evidence Really Say?

In December 2022, Canadian music artist Daystar Peterson — better known as Tory Lanez — was convicted of shooting Grammy-winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion. The trial became one of the most talked-about celebrity legal cases in recent memory.

But beneath the headlines and online debates lies a more complicated reality — one that includes forensic inconsistencies, key testimony that wasn’t fully explored, and serious concerns about how the case was handled from the beginning.

If you think this is a simple case of justice being served, keep reading.


No Fingerprints. No DNA Match. Still Convicted.



One of the most surprising details in the case is this:

Tory Lanez’s fingerprints were not found on the gun.

Even more, a DNA analysis provided to the defense late in the trial showed that Tory’s DNA was excluded from the firearm. According to the defense team, the probability of his DNA being on the weapon was just 0.01%.

That’s not a match. That’s the opposite of conclusive.


Gunshot Residue on Multiple People — But Only One Person Was Charged




Reports confirm that three people tested positive for gunshot residue (GSR) the night of the incident:

  • Tory Lanez
  • Megan Thee Stallion
  • Kelsey Harris (Megan’s former friend and assistant)

But despite multiple people having GSR on their hands, only Tory’s DNA was tested further — and only he was charged.

This raises a serious question:
If more than one person had GSR, why wasn’t everyone tested equally?


An Eyewitness Described a Different Scene Than What Was Presented in Court



One of the key witnesses, Sean Kelly, was a neutral third party who saw the altercation from his home. He testified that he saw:

  • Two women fighting
  • Men attempting to break up the fight
  • Gunshots coming from the passenger side — where Kelsey Harris was sitting

This testimony didn’t align with the prosecution’s narrative, yet it didn’t seem to factor heavily into the verdict.


The Question That Still Hasn’t Been Answered



All of this leads to a critical question:

How do you convict someone of a shooting... when their DNA isn’t on the gun, when eyewitnesses place the gun elsewhere, and when the investigation left out basic procedures?


This Isn’t About Taking Sides. It’s About Seeking Truth.

This article isn’t written to attack or discredit anyone involved. But the justice system must pursue truth, not just headlines.

When key evidence is unclear — or missing entirely — due process must take priority.

And in this case, it’s becoming increasingly clear that more questions need to be answered.
