A rock test of $ AP is aimed at closing arguments

By Andrew Dalton, Associated Press

Los Angeles (AP) – There is an essential difference between the two final arguments in the rapper A $ AP Rocky The trial: prosecutors said Thursday that the Hip-Hop star shot two shots to a former friend from a gun. Defensor lawyers will say that he shot blank from a gun that was not real.

The musical star nominated for Grammy, the fashion magnate and the actor is the partner of the Singing Superstar. Rihannawho entered the Court Chamber for a few minutes in closing arguments. For the first time he brought his two young children with her. They were dressed in costumes and could be heard making lullaby as a prosecutor spoke.

“There is a critical question that must answer,” said the attached prosecutor Paul Przelomiec to Los Angeles’s jurors. “Was it a real weapon or was it a false gun?” said. “Nothing else is in dispute.”

It is likely that the closures will last until Friday, when jurors must begin to deliberate in two serious assault crimes with a semi -automatic firearm for the 2021 shooting. If they condemn Rocky for both, he could obtain up to 24 years in prison.

The testimony ended on Tuesday, when Rocky and his lawyers He told a judge that he would not take the position.

The case of the Prosecutor’s Office It rests greatly on the credibility of the man that Rocky alleges that he has shot. A $ AP FILLIwhose legal name is Terell Ephron, became friends with Rocky, born Rakim Mayers, at New York High School, where both were members of a creative team called the mafia at $ AP.

His friendship continued after Rocky won a global fame with a couple of albums No. 1 in 2012 and 2013, but for November 6, 2021 his link had become a beef.

They gathered outside a Hollywood hotel and fought once they saw each other. In a second confrontation moments later, Rocky shot the shots. Filli said his knuckles were passed through one of them. The fights were partially captured in surveillance videos that are not clear enough for easy interpretation.

A $ AP Twelvyy, another member of the crew that was with Rocky, testified that he was the aggressor, and that Rocky triggered the shots as a warning to prevent him from attacking another member of his crew.

Twelvyy testified that Rocky triggered white from a starting gun that the rapper had taken for security from a music video session months before, and that all those involved knew it. The Rocky tour manager also testified that he had the false weapons.

Prosecutors argued that the entire idea of the support gun is an absurd lie coordinated by Rocky’s internal circle.

Przelomiec concentrated on Twelvyy.

“This sounds like a man who is giving preprogrammed answers,” he told jurors. “I don’t have to tell you that I was being trained.”

No weapon was found or presented as evidence.

The police who registered the area after a report of a shooting did not find physical evidence, but Fili went to a police department two days later with two caps that said he had collected after returning to the scene.

To close arguments, the defense will maintain that video evidence and text messages cannot be trusted, nor can it fill. He also filed a lawsuit in the case, and Rocky’s lawyers will choose it as a HEALTHY OPPORTANCE for the money of a former friend who became famous. Filli promised to do exactly that in text messages and on phone calls recorded by a mutual friend who gave the recordings to Rocky. Filli said in his testimony that the calls were falsified.

The prosecution argued that Filli is looking for money just after a bad mistake was made. They pointed out during the trial that Filling Communications around the meeting tell a consistent story, and never mentions inventing something or knowing Rocky carried a support gun.

The jury members were told that if they discovered that Rocky reasonably believed that he or any of those who were with him that night were in imminent danger of injuries, and that he used a reasonable force, they could find it not guilty even if they did not believe the support.
