Verdict - NOT GUILTY! A$AP Rocky Trial

NOT GUILTY!!! 

A$AP Rocky Rushed to Embrace Rihanna After Being Acquitted in Felony Assault Trial  

After weeks of intense courtroom proceedings, rapper A$AP Rocky has been found not guilty of felony assault with a semiautomatic firearm. The verdict was delivered this afternoon in a Los Angeles courtroom, clearing the rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, of all charges related to the November 2021 Hollywood shooting involving his former friend A$AP Relli (Terell Ephron).

Throughout the trial, A$AP Rocky maintained a stoic and emotionless demeanor, sitting quietly as witnesses testified and lawyers debated his fate. His composure never wavered, giving little away about the immense pressure he was under. However, the moment the "NOT GUILTY" verdict was read, his reaction spoke volumes. 

 Whether it was a sigh of relief, a quiet moment of reflection, or an embrace with loved ones, it was clear that the weight of the accusations had been heavy on his shoulders. His controlled exterior throughout the proceedings only made his response after the verdict a more powerful testament to the emotional toll the trial had taken on him. The charges stemmed from an altercation in Hollywood where Ephron alleged that Mayers fired two shots, one of which grazed his hand. The prosecution argued that Rocky acted with intent to harm, while the defense maintained that the shots were blanks from a prop gun and fired in self-defense. 

Had Rocky been convicted, he faced up to 24 years in prison. The jury, composed of seven women and five men, deliberated for just a few hours before unanimously acquitting him of all charges. The trial attracted massive public attention, especially given Rocky's high-profile relationship with Rihanna, who attended multiple court sessions in support of her partner. Fans and supporters of the rapper celebrated the not guilty verdict, which allows Rocky to continue his career without legal repercussions. 

 Following the verdict, Rocky thanked his legal team, family, and supporters, expressing relief that the case is finally behind him. This decision marks the end of a turbulent legal battle for A$AP Rocky, who can now shift his focus back to music, fashion, and family.

James Holmes First Court Appearance

Joker... James Holmes Makes First Court Appearance

Well, James Holmes is facing the death penalty. I, like many are wondering is that even enough? 

This morning [July 23] in a Colorado courtroom prosecutors accused Holmes, 24 of killing 12 people and injuring 58, on Friday July 20th; after he went on a shooting rampage, during the premiere of the latest Batman film, “The Dark Knight Rises". In Aurora Colorado.

It is said, Holmes sat quietly and appeared sleepy or sedated during the very brief hearing, with red colored hair, maintaining his "Joker" persona, from the Batman series. Batman-related items, including a mask and a poster was found in his apartment. Authorities say, when detained on Friday, Holmes told the police that he was the Joker.

The court concluded Holmes will be formally charged one week later on July 30. He is expected to remain locked up at the Arapahoe Detention Center until his next court date. 

It is also said that Holmes has yet to show any remorse and still "thinks he's acting in a movie."

A fellow inmate who had just been released added "He was spitting at the door and spitting at the guards, he’s spitting at everything. Dude was acting crazy." 

Many feel that Holmes' attorneys may use an insanity plea in order to spare their client from a capital punishment sentence if convicted. He is not expected to be targeted with domestic terrorism charges. The DA also added that prosecutors are seeking input from victims of the Aurora shooting to make a decision on whether or not they should request the death penalty for Mr. Holmes. 

Holmes would face mandatory life in prison if the district attorney decides not to seek the death penalty.

Seriously, can this case be fast-tracked? It is sad that it only took minutes for him to change people's lives forever; but, he is given months if not years to be punished for his act. 
Insanity should not be a question, the guy is clearly insane, and should be punished to the full extent.
