A breaking update was made on the third day of testimonies in Tory Lanez’s shooting trial.
Kelsey Nicole Harris, Meg Thee Stallion’s ex-friend, has been granted immunity after asking for immunity during the opening of her testimony according to LA Times reporter James Queally. Reportedly, the District Attorney claimed they had no plans of prosecuting her.
“Kelsey Harris testimony at Tory Lanez trial began with her showing up with an attorney and asking for immunity. It was granted even after the DA swore they had no intent to prosecute her,” Queally reported.
He added that “Kelsey spent a little less than 40 minutes on the stand, saying a lot of her memory of the party was “blurry” because of alcohol consumption. She accused Megan of lying about her and called accusations she shot Megan ‘ridiculous.'”
By definition, since Harris is given immunity, she is granted an exemption that displaces the privilege against self-incrimination; neither compelled testimony nor any fruits of it can be used against the witness who, therefore, can no longer fear self-incrimination.
According to the coverage from Queally, Kelsey Nicole also testifies that Megan Thee Stallion was acting out & drunk at party before shooting incident during her afternoon testimony. The reported says she also pleaded the 5th when asked if Tory threatened her.
She generally painted Megan as drunk and acting out at the party before the fight in the SUV that predated the shooting. Key moment came when DDA Kathy Ta asked if Lanez had threatened to shoot Kelsey an Kelsey took the 5th.
According to reporter Nancy Dillon, Kelsey Nicole also addressed accusations that she shot Megan Thee Stallion while testifying, calling the theory “ridiculous.”
Prosecutor Kathy Ta: “Were there accusations about you having shot Megan?” (Megan Thee Stallion)
Kelsey Harris: “There were.”
Prosecutor: “And how do you feel about them?”
Harris: “I mean, it’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous.”
We previosuly reported that The Shade Room was on scene for day three of Tory Lanez shooting trial in Los Angeles, and spotted alleged victim Megan Thee Stallion‘s former friend Kelsey Harris as she entered the courthouse to take the stand on Wednesday.
Harris could be seen exiting a black SUV with what appeared to be a security detail, and was holding hands with a mystery man as she entered the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center.
