After a weeks-long trial, a Los Angeles jury declared the r<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>er not guilty on two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. The verdict was reached on Tuesday, February 18, after hours of deliberation.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            The case stems from a 2021 incident involving Rocky&#8217;s former friend, Terell Ephron. Ephron <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/losangeles\/news\/asap-rocky-trial-jury-deliberations\/\">accused<\/a> Rocky of shooting a gun at him and threatening his life outside of a Hollywood hotel. In his testimony, Ephron alleged that bullets from the shooting grazed his knuckles; Rocky&#8217;s attorneys maintained that their client was only in possession of a prop gun incapable of firing real bullets.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Rocky was arrested in April 2022 in connection with shooting and charged with two felonies in August of the same year. Initially scheduled to begin in November 2024, the trial was <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stlamerican.com\/entertainment\/hot-sheet\/aap-rocky-trial-delayed\/\">delayed<\/a> until January 21, 2025 over Rocky&#8217;s scheduled performance at Rolling Loud in Thailand.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            During the trial, two members of Rocky&#8217;s crew A$AP Mob, A$AP Twelvyy and A$AP Lou, took the stand and testified that Rocky had a prop gun on the night of the shooting. The defence also pointed to the fact that local police did not discover any shell casings or a gun during their investigation the night of the incident. Ephron claimed he found two casings at the scene himself, though defence attorneys used his visit to a shooting range two weeks prior as evidence that the casings may have been &#8220;planted.&#8221;\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Prosecutors <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/losangeles\/news\/aap-rocky-rejects-plea-deal-with-6-month-jail-sentence-in-hollywood-assault-case\/#:~:text=A%24AP%20Rocky%20rejected%20a,a%20former%20friend%20and%20collaborator.\">offered Rocky a plea deal<\/a> before the trial began.

Rocky was facing up to 24 years in prison.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Separately from the criminal trial, Ephron has launched a civil defamation lawsuit against Rocky and Tacopina. He claims the pair defamed him in 10 separate instances prior to the beginning of the trial.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-268131\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            <i>This is a breaking <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> story and will be updated as more information becomes available<\/i>\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Jordan Darville<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
