Al Sharpton Says They Might Be Doing A$AP Rocky Dirty

A$AP Rocky is about to go on trial for shooting A$AP Reli in the hand on an LA street in 2021.

Jury selection has begun, and Al Sharpton believes the system isn't treating Rocky fairly.

It has been brought to my attention, by the National Action Network Los Angeles office, that out of one hundred and six (106) people called to potentially sit as jurors in A$AP Rocky’s trial in Los Angeles, there are only 4 black people.

It has been brought to my attention, by the National Action Network Los Angeles office, that out of one hundred and six (106) people called to potentially sit as jurors in A$AP Rocky’s trial in Los Angeles, there are only 4 black people.  I have been closely in touch with A$AP Rocky’s friends, and though I do not know the particulars of the trial, I do know he deserves to be judged fairly by his peers, as is his Constitutional right.  It is absolutely ridiculous that the jury will be not fair and representative, so as to deprive A$AP Rocky of a fair trial.  When we have four (4) black people in the city of Los Angeles, out of one hundred and six (106) — and exactly zero (0) within in the first thirty (30) possible candidates for the jury — something appears to be very wrong with the system.  I am monitoring this trial and challenging the Los Angeles District Attorney to ensure that fair and representative justice is afforded to A$AP Rocky.

Rocky faces 24 years if convicted.
