Obviously, Lanez has every right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. That’s the system we have here in America, and we should all be very thankful for it.
Trust me, you don’t want to live in a country where that’s reversed.

Having said that, make no mistake about it, folks. This isn’t some slap on the wrist kind of situation. Lanez is facing more than two decades in prison if convicted.
He’s not getting a ticket or going away for a couple months if convicted. If he’s found guilty of these charges, he’s facing some serious time behind bars.
Now, he might not get 23 years, but he’s damn sure not walking out of the court room with just a stern talking to if he’s found guilty of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. California gun laws are not a joke.

We’ll see what happens, but it sounds like he’s going to need a great lawyer.
