No Black Jurors for A$AP Rocky Trial


This week Rev. Al Sharpton spoke out regarding the lack of Black jurors in the pool for A$AP Rocky's felony assault trial in LA [click here if you missed that]. 

The jury has been seated with no Black jurors among them...

From TMZ 
Jury selection in Rocky's trial for allegedly shooting A$AP Relli just wrapped up in downtown L.A., and the gender split is 7 women and 5 men. What's kinda odd, considering L.A.'s population, is there's not a single Black juror.
The jurors are white, Asian and Hispanic. Four alternate jurors who were selected are all women ... and not Black.
For what it's worth, Judge Mark Arnold, who is white, will oversee the trial.

You already know how this about to play out. He did the same thing Tory Lame did and it’s looking like the same outcome is about to happen. Reckless behavior has consequences.

The jurors are white, Asian and Hispanic. All these nations don’t like us. They have been brainwashed by the system that destroys our character Through negative media and propaganda. He’s Toast. Pass the jelly please.

Good, he should have taken the plea deal but he's too arrogant. 180 days would be 2 months in protective custody and probation.

Those of us who don't commit crimes never have to worry about the ethnicity of judges and jurors.

Didn't he say that he dgaf about BLM because he lives in Beverly Hills and Soho? This IS his community.

I CONCUR WITH ALMOST EVERYONE'S COMMENTS ON THIS MATTER SO FAR.
HE DEFINITELY SHOULD'VE TAKEN THAT SWEET PLEA DEAL BUT IT'S TOO LATE IT APPEARS.
10:06 IS RIGHT: RECKLESS BEHAVIORS HAS CONSEQUENCES.
I ONLY FEEL BADLY FOR THOSE LITTLE BOYS RZA & RIOT.

On the previous thread about him, some genius in the comment section was bragging about how she got out of jury duty by lying and calling other people stupid for not knowing how to get out of it too. Well, these are the consequences of such actions. Most YTs, Hispanics and Asians don't GAF about absconding from jury duty because they believe in the courts, law and order.

Some Black people love to bitsh & moan about justice and representation but don't want to do the the right thing. And when cousin Pookie and 'em gets locked up and has to face a jury of their "peers" who are all YT or non-Black, then they wanna cry foul. Lock Rocky stupid azz up. He falls right in that category of Black people who think they're different and special and the rules don't apply to them.

^Why don't you go back to that thread because ain't nobody bragging about sh!t on this 1! You sound dumb asf rn!

@10:27 You are delusional. Cops play Russian roulette with Black men's lives everytime they pull them over. Why? For driving while Black. Clearly you are not Black, interloper, or you would know how silly you sound for saying people who don't commit crimes don't have encounters with the law.

I don't think it matters what color the jury members are when you are caught on camera committing the crime. He definitely should reconsider the plea deal.

^THAT PART. I think the plea deal is off the table now. However, his attorney could go back with a different offer though I don't think they will.
Less than a year in jail on a felony gun charge for him was a sweet deal that he stupidly turned down.

^^^^ I don't need to go back to shyt. I comprehend very well and I said what I said!

This That argumentative sad f**k from that other Asap Rocky post who spent his, yeah i know you're male cuz only a dumb a** dude would go back n forth for A FULL DAY about getting out of jury duty on a blog!
He's f**king Irrelevant & a Non MFing Factor Though!

That does sound like Karenda's M.O. start some sh%t and hold on to it like a pitbull! Woof WOOF! hehehehehehehehe

Anonymous said...

I don't fan for ASAP but I feel he might beat this case. Why? Because he may in fact not have shot and it may in fact have really been a prop gun. Otherwise he would've taken the plea. If I'm wrong he a big dum dum. Just sayin

Karenda said...

Haha. Now I have to go to the other thread and see what y'all talking about...

I Understand the Historical Argument. However Black Jurors Wouldn't Necessarily Guarantee a Favorable Outcome. Could've Had Some Candace Owens & Jesse Lee Peterson Types.

Anonymous said...

^Great Point hat others need to consider.
Fact of the matter is he should've taken that plea deal. Now it appears he's screwed and it's all his own doing.

No one can go "back and forth" unless they have someone to go "back and forth" with. It's obvious that you were the one going "back and forth" because here we are on a brand new thread and you still won't stfu. 💀

Looks like he f%%ked himself over pretty good by not taking that deal.

Gg57 said...

If they give this man 20+ years he has nobody to blame but himself, non black jury or not because he should have taken the plea deal. The system is somewhat rigged anyway, do you honestly think they couldn't have found Black people willing to do jury duty for THIS case?? Be serious. He doesnt have Black jurors because they simply didn't want any.

Anonymous said...

That's right. Another poster said that the prosecution asked specific questions to potential jurors about whether they like Rihanna's music or purchase her products while determining which would stay and which wouldn't.
If they wanted more than the 4 black jurors they wouldn't have taken those kinds of measures to ensure there weren't any Rihanna fans seated in the jury box.

Sounds like the move.

It sounds like A$AP Rocky may need a new attorney because the plea deal should've been accepted especially if there's footage of him on security camera holding a piece in his hand during the event in question.

Karenda said...

Naww, that ain't me.

But for the record, I don't start anything. I make comments and they must hit a little too close to home for some folks to deal with. They curse and call names like children. I'm like, relax. It's just an opinion.
