The Los Angeles jury of seven women and five men began their discussions in the morning after three weeks of testimony and arguments that ended Friday. They had reached the verdict by mid-afternoon.
Rocky, whose legal name is Rakim Mayers, was charged with two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. He could have gotten up to 24 years in prison with convictions. The 36-year-old hip-hop star, fashion maven and actor is the partner of singing star Rihanna, who attended much of the trial and brought their two toddler sons to closing arguments.
During the weeks-long trial, prosecutors said that the popular rapper had shot a nine-millimeter semi-automatic weapon during a confrontation with Terell Ephron, also known as A$AP Relli, on November 6, 2021, in the heart of Hollywood, grazing Ephron's hand.
The two had previously been friends, and had both been part of A$AP, a rap collective from New York, but had fallen out because other members of the group felt Mayers' commercial success had made him arrogant.
