The A$AP Rocky trial was brought to a close today following closing arguments from prosecutors and attorneys, but the presiding Swedish judge decided a verdict would not be handed out until August 14.
In the meantime, following three days of testimony, the three defendants—Rocky, plus his companions Bladimir Corniel and David Rispers—are free to leave Sweden.
In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past month, A$AP Rocky was arrested July 2 on assault charges, after fighting on the streets of Stockholm. Both Rocky and his lawyers have said the rapper was acting in self-defense, and in videos posted to his Instagram, several men were seeing following Rocky and his entourage through the streets, presumably taunting them.

A$AP Rocky’s most unexpected defender, our fearless president, is jazzed about today’s news. Of course, Trump is not a fan of music and has been openly racist since his term began—but he is also a fierce nationalist, and will celebrate any excuse to insult another country, especially one with universal healthcare and free college. In this case, that country happens to be Sweden.
A$AP Rocky released from prison and on his way home to the United States from Sweden. It was a Rocky Week, get home ASAP A$AP!
