Before court was in session on Dec. 21, Jaquan Smith, Tory Lanez’ driver was seen walking into the Los Angeles Superior Court. Whether he would testify it wasn’t clear, but its his first time seen.

Gearing Up For Closing Arguments

Tory Lanez’ driver, Jaquan Smith was seen entering the Los Angeles Superior Court. Smith was the driving the Black SUV that was stopped at Sunset Boulevard on July 12, 2020 where a bleeding Megan The Stallion was escorted onto an ambulance. 

Throughout the trial, which kicked off opening statements on Dec. 12,  Kelsey Harris, Megan’s former assistant and best friend,  EJ King, stylist, as well as Megan, have been the only ones to take the stand.

Lanez, Smith, as well as Kylie Jenner and Corey Gamble have not been called to take the stand since the trial started. The prosecution also mentioned they were dealing with a missing witness that social media has speculated  to be Justin Edison, Megan’s bodyguard who went missing right before he was scheduled to appear in court.

After an hour break, Smith’s opportunity to take the stand came and went. It appeared the district attorney wasn’t ready to cross examine him. Lanez’ defense and district attorney agreed Smith wouldn’t take the stand claiming it was too close to the holidays with court to resume in 2023. As a result, prolonging the trial and at risk of a mistrial. Closing statements are expected to start after lunch. The court expects a verdict by the end of the week.
