“One day, Rihanna brought babies to court and people thought it was a plot,” said Tacopina during a Monday, February 24, interview with Charlamagne Tha God over The Breakfast Club. “How, a kind of maneuver to get the jury to sympathy. The jury does not feel sympathy, they know that he has a woman and children.”
As the lawyer said, however, the day Rihanna brought the children to court (February 13) was the day that the jury’s deliberations were supposed to be assumed. If Rocky, 36, had been found guilty, could have gone directly to prison after the verdict.
“It was more because it was the last day of the trial – we summarized, and the judge said that we will go directly to the jury’s deliberations after that. At least this was the plan, it did not work So, “Tacopina explained. That is why he took them. The prosecutor made a lot in his sum, which seemed to me a fatal mistake, frankly. “”
