At the moment, Tory is being held at the Men’s Central Jail that is located in Los Angeles and he is looking forward to getting transported to a state prison. Since the time he got arrested, he has been requesting a retrial which has been declined from the side of the court.
During the sentence hearing, Lanez stated that Megan is someone he still cares about and remarked that he regrets the things he said to her during their 2020 roadside quarrel. At the time of providing the sentence, the judge also took into consideration, the past clean record of the musician as well as his philanthropic efforts.
The argument which said, “Sometimes good people do bad things” was dismissed by the court. Then, the media outlet, Daily Mail reported that Raina was present in the court on the day of his hearing and she gave an “emotional plea” in support of her partner.
In her plea, Chassagne described her now-husband as an ambitious, trusting, and dedicated father. She asked the court to consider leniency to break the cycle of black fathers being in prison and separated from their kids.
As of this moment, it’s unknown how Tory and Raina met each other for the first time. After the final verdict was given by the court, Chassagne was seen crying outside the court meanwhile her friends consoled her.
