Nearly a hundred potential jurors are set to convene in a Los Angeles courtroom for the upcoming three-week trial of A$AP Rocky, who stands accused of firing a gun at a former friend. The Los Angeles prosecutors will lead the questioning of the jurors, with the defense team probing for any biases against hip-hop, guns, or individuals from New York.
During the selection process, defense attorney Joe Tacopina addressed concerns about his New York accent, to which no jurors expressed any negative sentiments. The majority of the initial jury pool had prior knowledge of A$AP Rocky, with nearly all recognizing his partner, Rihanna, but all affirmed that their celebrity status would not influence their judgment.
