00:00Asap Rocky and the getting getting down to the close of his assault trial
00:06I'd say he brought the big guns to court today
00:08But that probably doesn't really sound right considering what he is accused of he brought the big. Oh, I'm sorry
00:14You're right right didn't but but he
00:17metaphorically brought the big guns to court
00:20Not only Rihanna his longtime partner who has been in court for several days during this trial
00:26But she brought back up little back up and as in their kids
00:30RZA and riot who were carried on their way into court rainy day here in LA
00:36But they will be sitting there in the gallery
00:39behind
00:40Rocky as the jury is hearing the closing argument
00:44You do not need a JD to understand the significance of this that Rihanna and her two kids
00:51Are gonna be sitting there as the jury looks at them and says
00:54Do we want to can break up this guy Emily unit of a crime where he could go to prison until these kids are adults?
01:01Do we want to do that?
01:03Yeah
01:04And we've seen this kind of tactic happen before remember when Tory Lanez was in court for his trial his five-year-old son was brought
01:11to court by his baby mama and you know
01:14He had even said like he kind of wanted it for like sympathy, you know
01:17To show like the people that are in the jury. Like look I have a family. I am a father
01:22I'm trying to be a role model to my children. So that one didn't work, right? Yeah
01:30Very well, it goes differently, but yeah, there's no listen Rihanna being there throughout the trial
01:36We've said it and make has some impact. It has a big impact having the kids there
01:41It really does and that's not to say like if he is acquitted
01:46It's not to say that it's only because of the kids because there's been you know any of testimony that is
01:52Raised more at least some in court have said that they think that a reasonable doubt has been raised, right?
01:59And and you know
02:00I guess the way to put it is that with Rihanna and the kids there
02:04The jury may give them the benefit of reasonable doubt, right?
02:09You know, I mean that's kind of the situation that it the optics why they're there, right?
02:14Like if you're on the border, you're not sure which way to go and you look at them
02:17Do I really want to separate this family?
02:23I think they're a power family a unit Rihanna dressed in all black showing the death of this case
02:28They always have each other's back and thing the difference between Tory Lanez
02:31And this is that Rihanna and ASAP have always been together
02:34I've always seen them on the news like social media the news and all this
02:38So I just think that like this is a little bit different in this case that they just have each other's back now
02:43Yeah, I mean they do and tomorrow we're gonna have
02:46Their lawyer or his lawyer Joe tequila on TMZ live and we're gonna get into all of this
