A$ AP Rocky Innocent in Los Angeles Attack Trial

The decision in A$ AP Rocky‘s attack trial was simply revealed– Rocky has actually been discovered not guilty.

Rocky’s partner and mom of his 2 boys, Rihanna, was sobbing, and provided Rocky’s defense lawyer, Joe Tacopina, a huge hug. As the jurors left one by one, Rocky stated to them … “Thank you for conserving my life.”

The Los Angeles jury started considerations Tuesday early morning after closing arguments were finished Friday afternoon … the rap artist was charged with 2 counts of attack with a semiautomatic weapon, and Rocky would have dealt with a possible 24-year jail sentence if he were condemned.

A$ AP Rocky– legal name Rakim Mayers— was detained in 2022, implicated of shooting a weapon at previous partner and pal A$ AP Relli outside a hotel in Hollywood in 2021. Rocky declined a plea offer from district attorneys last month.

Rocky’s defense lawyer, Joe Tacopina, preserved his customer might not have actually shot Relli– legal name Terell Ephron— since Rocky just brought a prop weapon with him at the time. Relli affirmed his knuckles were scraped by a bullet.

Relli’s testament got heated sometimes … with fireworks popping off in between himself and Tacopina.

Rocky selected not to affirm … though his voice was heard in court when he chewed out his friend A$ AP Twelvyy ” Do not state!!!” when district attorneys asked him on the stand what “AWGE” represents. AWGE is the name of Rocky’s innovative firm with “Battle Club”- level secrecy guidelines connected to it.

Rihanna played a background function in the procedures– potential jurors were asked throughout the choice procedure whether they ‘d become aware of A$ AP or Rihanna, listened to their music, or downloaded any of their tunes. A jury of 7 ladies and 5 males were picked … none Black.
