A$AP and the other two defendants are free to leave Sweden while they await a verdict, which is expected to come August 14. Prosecutors requested that Rocky–who’s already spent a month in jail–remain in the country because he was a flight risk, but the judges disagreed. Prosecutors also asked the judges to impose a 6-month jail sentence for the rapper, saying he should be judged harshly because they claim he threw a bottle at the alleged victim–while A$AP admitted to picking up the bottle, he denies using it on the alleged victim. According to TMZ , Rocky got a huge assist on Friday from two eyewitnesses who both said they did NOT see Rocky strike the alleged victim with a bottle, which is the centerpiece of the prosecution’s case. Annoyingly, Donald Chump tweeted following news of Rocky’s release, letting off some of the most insufferable puns anyone has ever heard.
