celeb news A$AP Rocky's trial for allegedly shooting a former friend rescheduled to January

[Nefertiti0]

A$AP Rocky is set to go to trial in Los Angeles early next year on charges that he fired a gun at a former friend and collaborator on the streets in 2021.

The trial is set to begin with jury selection on Jan. 21. Trial had been scheduled to start Nov. 12, but his team asked at a hearing Tuesday that it be postponed because he is headlining the Rolling Loud music festival in Thailand next month.
 

Superior Court Judge Mark S. Arnold said he will allow video cameras to air the trial that's expected to last about two weeks.

"I believe that the public deserves to see what goes on in the courtroom," the judge said.

 

He asked defense lawyer Joe Tacopina whether Rihanna, with whom Rocky is in a relationship and has two children, plans to attend the trial so he could make proper security accommodations. Tacopina said he doesn't know, but "I almost guarantee not every day."

A$AP Rocky was first arrested for the alleged shooting in April 2022 at Los Angeles International Airport. He was released from police custody on a $550,000 bond.
 

In January, A$AP Rocky entered a new not-guilty plea to felony gun charges, including two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, according to Rolling Stone and The Guardian.

In November, during a preliminary hearing that included testimony and surveillance video evidence, a Los Angeles judge ruled there was enough evidence for A$AP Rocky to stand trial.

Rocky could get up to 24 years in prison if convicted on all charges.

I love Rihanna's music but birds of a feather flock together

Roc Nation is clearly threatning the judge.

Lock him up so he can no longer impregnate her.

24 years  drop the album first King

This is sad…. Prbly a huge reason Rihanna hasn't come back yet. If he really gets 24 years she wants to enjoy as much time as she can now with that man….

Is there an MPG who isn't in a relationship with a criminal?

This thread is awfully quiet. I wonder why.

Both can be true, Jay Z didn't get to where he is by being a saint.
