Two years ago Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky was ordered to stand trial on felony assault charges after being accused of shooting at his former A$AP associate, A$AP Relli [click here if you missed that].
This week A$AP Rocky turned down a last minute plea deal before the trial...
From The Daily Mail
A$AP Rocky's lawyer says 'he's not interested' in cutting a deal with the prosecution, less than a week before he goes to trial for the alleged shooting of a former band-mate and friend.
Lawyers on both sides got together on Wednesday to potentially come to an agreement on a plea deal. But his defense attorneys and prosecutors were unable to reach an agreement.
The trial is scheduled to go ahead on January 21, starting with the selection of a 12-person jury.
Superstar Rihanna's boyfriend, Rocky, 36 – who was not present at a trial readiness hearing at a downtown Los Angeles criminal court on Wednesday - has pleaded not guilty to two felony charges of assault with a semiautomatic firearm.
The rapper is facing up to 24 years in prison if convicted of both.
