Rihanna was seen sobbing and gave Rocky’s defense attorney, Joe Tacopina, a big hug. The Los Angeles jury began deliberations Tuesday morning after closing arguments were completed Friday afternoon.
Rocky was charged with two counts of assault with a semiautomatic weapon and he’s denied the allegations the entire time. He faced up to 24 years in prison if convicted. The man he was accused of shooting was a former childhood friend, A$AP Relli.
Congrats Rocky!
