Rapper A$AP Rocky to be freed from jail as judges mull case

A$AP Rocky performs during the 42nd American Music Awards in Los Angeles, California on November 23, 2014.

Prosecutors asked that the 30-year-old rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, get a six-month sentence during closing arguments Friday. Mayers told the court he thought community service would be a proper punishment for him. Witness testimonies were the highlight of the third day of the trial where Mayers and two other suspects are accused by prosecutors of beating 19-year-old Mustafa Jafari on June 30.Whether or not Jafari, who got into an argument with Mayers' entourage in Stockholm, was hit with parts or a whole bottle has become one of the key issues at the trial.

She said she didn't see Mayers holding a bottle during the scuffle. Her friend testified that she didn't see anyone hitting Jafari with a bottle. His bodyguard said on Friday he asked Jafari to "go away" when he approached the group a second time outside the fast-food restaurant in central Stockholm. Mayers had also testified earlier this week that he suspected Jafari and his friend were under the influence of some drug, which officials have not yet commented on.
