A prison that is unimpressed by the acquittal $ AP receives a trial for lawsuit

A week after a $ Ap Rocky was not guilty of having fired a semi -automatic pistol on a former friend, the rapper's prosecutor made it clear that he was still progressing with his civil lawsuit because of the same incident.

A lawyer of the plaintiff Terell Ephron appeared in a court hearing in the city center of Los Angeles and said that the former member of A $ AP-MOB had no plans to give the lawsuit for assault and battery, which he submitted against Rocky in August 2022, despite the unanimous judgment of the jury that Rocky had submitted after a three-week criminal proceedings against Rocky. After the lawyer had doubled, a judge raised the stay who had put the civil proceedings on hold. The court stated on January 12, 2026 for the lawsuit.

“We intend to continue to deny this case,” said the lawyer of Ephron, Melissa Mikail, the court at the hearing. “The standard in criminal proceedings is much higher than the predominance of the evidence standard in a matter of civil. We still believe that our claims have merit and we intend to fully sell them. ”

In his complaint, Ephron, Raky, born Rakim Mayers, claimed a pistol and pulled him out and during a verbal argument on the corner of Selma Ave. and Vista del Mar Ave. fired on November 6, 2021. In the criminal trial, Ephron told the jurors that he had a hot sensation on his left hand. He was combative and confronted with allegations under violent cross -experiences, which he repeatedly followed.

Mayers kept his innocence from the start. He did not testify to his own defense, but his lawyer said he had only a prop -weapon on the night of the incident. Two other members of $ AP MOB said Mayers received the prop -weapon from the music video “DMB”, which he shot with Rihanna in July 2021. The friends said that the Prop weapon had only fired gaps. The jury took a little more than three hours to find out that there was not enough evidence of convictions. When he heard the verdict, Mayers jumped over a waist-highest court border to hug his superstar partner Rihanna, who was sitting in the front row. Then he hugged his process lawyers Joe Tacopina and Chad seal.

At the hearing in the related matter on Wednesday, Mayer's civil lawyer James Sargent said that he does not believe that the claims in Ephrons would have earned a procedure. “My position is that there is no longer a basis for them. Mr. Ephron said in criminal proceedings in relation to the facts and circumstances. The jury's acquittal speaks volumes of how they valued this evidence of certificate, ”Sargent told Los Angeles County, William Fahey.

Fahey asked Sargent if he was the lawyer who represented Mayers in the criminal case. Sargent said no; They were tacopina and seal. “You obviously did a good job,” commented the judge.

Outside the courtroom after the hearing, said Sargent Rab He is confident that his customer will prevail again. “The allegations that Mr. Ephron causes in this case come from the same incident that a jury of 12 people rejected in wholesale. Mr. Ephron said there and the jury returned a complete acquittal in view of this certificate. So we look forward to a complete confirmation from Mr. Mayers on this matter, ”he said.

When asked whether his customer would entertain any form of a financial comparison offer after the judge Ephron's camp had instructed one, Sargent smiled. “No. We look forward to a complete justification,” he said. “The plaintiff can carry out a sober assessment of the output of the criminal proceedings and the change of change.”

During the criminal proceedings, the jurors heard that Ephron applied for an agreement of over 30 million US dollars from Mayers to avoid his public lawsuit. They also heard how Ehpron told a friend during a recorded call that he would disappear on a tropical island and would not testify in criminal proceedings if he received a payment from Mayers. Tacopina told the jurors that this is of the extortion.

The next hearing in the civil proceedings is set for May 28th.
