A$AP Rocky Acquitted in Shooting Case as Lawyer Defends Rihanna's Courtroom Support

Rihanna's decision to bring their children to court was explained as a personal choice, not a strategy to influence the jury.

A$AP Rocky was found not guilty on two felony assault charges related to a 2021 shooting involving former friend A$AP Relli.
Rihanna attended the trial to support Rocky and brought their two young children on the final day, which sparked public speculation about her motives.
Rocky's lawyer, Joe Tacopina, clarified that Rihanna brought the children to court because it could have been Rocky's last chance to see them if convicted.
Tacopina criticized the prosecution for focusing on Rihanna's courtroom presence during closing arguments, calling it a 'fatal mistake.'
Following the verdict, Rocky expressed gratitude to the jury, saying they 'saved his life,' and celebrated the outcome with Rihanna and family.
