Lanez chose not to take the witness stand during the trial. He pleaded not guilty to one felony count each of assault with a semi-automatic firearm (personal use of a firearm) and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. In the motion, which was obtained by ABC News, prosecutors argued the defense’s argument for a new trial “lacks substance.”
However, it did grant him more time before the sentencing. He was found guilty by the jury and he faces over 22 years in prison.
