Tory Lanez’s defense attorney, Jose Baez, is speaking out after the Canadian rapper was sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet.
Baez told TMZ that “his client is feeling pretty low right now after having the book thrown at him,” and the musician is said to be “having a hard time processing the sentence.” Despite this, Baez has insisted Lanez has “made it clear to him he’s going to remain strong and deal with his time behind bars as best as he can,” TMZ reported.
