Prosecutors Think A$AP Rocky Should Serve 6 to 10 Months

The case against A$AP Rocky entered its third day, today, with prosecutors wrapping up their case and asking the judge to consider a 6 to 10-month sentence.

The prosecution's case against Rocky seems to hinge on whether or not A$AP threw a bottle at Mustafa Jafari as he and his entourage beat the 19-year-old for harassing them.

Earlier this week, the prosecution bolstered its case with text messages from Rocky's assistant which suggested A$AP did beat Jafari with a bottle. However, today in court the defense was able to provide two eye-witnesses who said they never saw Rocky strike Jafari with the bottle.  Rocky has admitted to picking up the bottle -- which is why there is video fo him holding it -- but denies hitting Jafari with it.

While we had been expecting a verdict this week, there's a good chance there won't be one until after the weekend. President Trump has demanded that Rocky and his two co-defendants be allowed to stay in a hotel as they await their fate. But prosecutors denied the President, adding that no country has ever made such a request in the past.

Here are some notes from the trial.
