As the Megan Thee Stallion assault trial enters its second week, we have another twist, as a juror is said to have been spotted with Tory Lanez and his team in an elevator. of the court.
Despite being close, they didn’t discuss the incident
Based on LA time reporter James Queally, the judge vaguely admitted that an “incident” had occurred with a juror. Queally went on to share that, although the specifics are unclear, he himself saw the juror in question ride in an elevator with Tory Lanez, as well as his security and PR team. .
However, the journalist certainly noted that he “didn’t see them talking or hear any discussion about the case.”
The judge called the same juror into the room to discuss ‘A matter’
Meghann Cuniffa journalist with Law & Crime, confirmed that there is indeed a “jury problem”, although details are scarce. However, Cuniff noted that a juror was “requested to stay” and then called into the rooms to discuss the situation “in private”.
She also described the juror as a “lighter-skinned black woman with pigtails” who had previously worn “pink leopard print pants” to court. In addition, it was noted that the juror in question admitted to being “familiar with at least one party to the case”.
Tory’s attorneys approached an investigator regarding Kelsey Nicole’s conduct
In addition to the situation between Tory and the jury, another notable development involved Kelsey Nicole’s dissection song, “Bussin Back”.
According to Meghann Cuniff, an argument broke out between Tory’s attorney—George Mgdesyan—and an investigator during the cross-examination. Specifically, they were discussing Kelsey’s song, and the test “seemed to be destructive and also a bit difficult” after Mgdesyan asked the investigator about profane lyrics related to love.
Mgdesyan’s “aggressive tone” and approach escalated to what Judge Herriford called a sidebar.
So it looks like things have heated up a bit in the courtroom!
We will keep you updated on other developments in the trial.
