What she did definitively testify to on the stand … she wasn’t the one who shot Megan … however she wasn’t keen to go so far as to say Tory did.
However, keep in mind … prosecutors have been finally capable of get the inexperienced gentle to play a previous interview she’d given investigators in September — and in that recording, she mentioned Tory did really shoot Meg.
Different witnesses took the stand too, however none of them have been as consequential as Megan and Kelsey — together with the man who supposedly noticed the 2 ladies combating from his balcony. In the end, he wasn’t very definitive about who he says he noticed hearth the gun.

The bodily proof within the case wasn’t that robust — there was gun residue discovered on each Kelsey and Tory … and inconclusive DNA proof on the gun itself. Tory by no means took the stand, and neither did his driver that evening … Jaquan Smith. Except for cops and a witness to the Kylie Jenner celebration that preceded all this — it actually boiled all the way down to Kelsey and Meg.
In the long run, the jury clearly sided with prosecutors. As for the court docket of public opinion … the jury remains to be very a lot out. Folks definitely took sides on social media — and on conventional media too — however now … it is unclear if their allegiances will change.
A protracted and twisted journey … lastly over.
