Canadian rapper Tory Lanez has been sentenced to 10 years after being found guilty on all three felony counts for shooting Grammy-winning superstar Megan Thee Stallion three years ago.

Judge David Herriford had been expected to sentence Lanez Monday at a hearing that usually only takes a few hours, but Herriford had attorneys for both sides argue each factor of his potential sentence, allowing seven witnesses to give statements on Lanez’s charitable contributions, his childhood trauma and being a father to of his 6-year-old son, according to NBC News.

Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, was originally scheduled to be sentenced in February of this year but his legal team filed a motion for a new trial in March that was ultimately denied. In the months that followed, Peterson’s sentencing date has been pushed back several times.

Prosecutors were seeking a 13-year sentence and cited three violations of pre-trial court orders, telling the judge Peterson had “waged a campaign to humiliate and re-traumatize [Megan].” His attorneys asked for him to be sentenced to probation or three years in prison and were seeking probation and mandatory rehab, citing Peterson’s alcohol addiction and childhood trauma.
