Jurors also agreed that the attack had aggravating factors, which means Lanez could face up to 22 years in prison and deportation when he is sentenced on January 25 2023.
Tory Lanez, who was handcuffed and led to jail while dressed in a powder pink coat and matching pants, made no visible reaction as the verdict was read aloud.
However, after the jury was led away, his father, Sonstar Peterson, jumped to his feet and yelled, “This wicked system stands judged before God almighty!” as deputies surrounded him. Deputies wrestled him out of the courtroom and into the hallway, where he yelled.
