A$AP Rocky Declines to Testify As Jurors Told They Can Consider ‘Self-Defense’

A$AP Rocky declined to testify and his defense rested its case Tuesday morning in his felony firearm assault trial.

A$AP Twelvyy, born Jamel Phillips, told jurors that he was present for the incident and everyone allegedly knew Mayers was carrying a fake gun. Prosecutors allege he fired two 9mm bullets at Relli, born Terell Ephron, during an argument at the corner of Selma Ave. and Vista Del Mar Ave. on Nov. 6, 2021. Mayers’ lawyer, Joe Tacopina, has told jurors Ephron planted the two 9mm shell casings that he allegedly collected from the scene after police searched and found no evidence of a shooting.
