A$AP Rocky Shooting Trial - NOT GUILTY

[good pups]

Some real insider shyt here: juries are becoming more and more skeptical of all law enforcement and legal systems. Cases like this are harder and harder. People don't believe anything anymore, even when they should

this case was hard because the evidence the prosecution presented wasn't strong enough to overcome reasonable doubt.

the people on the jury were sticklers for the law here. the court gave them instructions about what they could and couldn't use to decide the verdict. the evidence they were shown didn't meet the standard for conviction, so they didn't convict.

this is the opposite of lawless. this is what you need from juries if you're trying to have a fair legal system.

All good points, and I don't know what this jury decided on, but not sure the idea that they knew it was a real gun, that he possessed, how could that be a not guilty? Because they don't necessarily believe the testimony from detectives or the investigators. That's how others I know have gone.

Yeah I don’t understand how anyone is gloating to those who thought taking the 6 month plea was a good idea. He rolled the dice and got off. But is that worth risking 10+ years in jail?

they can believe a crime was committed, but that doesn't mean it's the crime he's being charged with.

this was the prosecutors overreaching. they didn't have a gun, they didn't have the bullets, they didn't have good witnesses, and they didn't even have real injuries.

Obviously it was. I don’t see how one could even ask this question after seeing how it all played out.

Rocky and his team were smart.

I think because it's a pretty specific charge: felony assault with a semiautomatic weapon. the prosecution just didn't have the weapon - and that's the only way you can prove the charge.

Well yeah. This too. That's why they offered him that easy plea bargain. They knew it was a tough case.

Because beyond a reasonable doubt is a high bar even if they "felt" like the gun was real. They'll tell you during instructions to vote not guilty if there's any doubt in your mind even if you're 90 percent sure. They'll remind you that the burden of proof is on the prosecution, not the defense, which I'm sure came up when discussing the gun going missing.

There just wasn't enough evidence to know for certain, and the evidence that was presented was shoddy. It's the persecutions job to prove their case, and they didn't have enough.

Hopefully this puts the battery in his back to finally drop some music.

No it’s not obvious. Just because it played out in his favor doesn’t mean it was obvious.
