A$AP Rocky Trial: Lawyer Says Rapper Fired ‘Two Warning Shots’ from Starter Pistol to Protect Pal


A$AP Rocky's full defense was revealed during opening statements for his trial in Los Angeles on two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm.

Przelomiec showed grainy video of the alleged incident in which four tiny figures are seen sparring on at the intersection of Selma Ave. and Vista Del Mar Ave. after an initial confrontation near a parking garage outside the W Hotel. With so much at stake, it was a telling moment Tuesday when Mayers rejected a last-minute plea deal from prosecutors offering six months in county jail, a 7-year suspended prison sentence and three years of supervised probation. Tacopina, an aggressive defense lawyer known for representing high-profile clients including Meek Mill, YG, and Donald Trump, has deflected repeated questions about whether Rihanna would attend the trial.
