ASAP Rocky Faces Major Prison Time Barring Guilty Verdict
ASAP Rocky’s weeks long trial is reaching a close as the jury will begin deliberating on Tuesday.
Fed charged Rocky with two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. In connection to the 2021 shooting of A$AP Relli. Relli and prosecutors say Rocky shot Relli after threatening to kill him during a heated argument in a parking garage in Hollywood, Calif. on Nov. 6, 2021.
ASAP Rocky claims to have only been carrying a prop gun. In order to ward off would-be attackers and that Relli started the altercation. His attorney, Joe Tacopina, focused his fire on Relli with his closing argument, labeling him unreliable. “If you had to make a decision, the most important in your life or that of your family’s, on his word, would you do it? You all know what the answer to that question is,” Tacopina said. Pointing to Rocky, he added: “What you’re being asked to do is to make that decision. In the most important matter of his life.”
If the jury decides to convict on both counts, Rocky faces up to 24 years in prison.
