A$AP Rocky, who has been accused of firing a semi-automatic handgun at his former friend and plaintiff A$AP Relli after a heated discussion, will face trial in January.
A$AP Rocky被指控在激烈的討論后用半自動手槍射擊他的前朋友和原告A$AP Relli,他將在1月份面臨審判。

In a Monday preliminary hearing in Los Angeles, Judge M.L. Villar ruled that there was sufficient evidence for the rapper, né Rakim Mayers — who pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault with a firearm in August 2022 — to stand trial for allegations surrounding the Nov. 6, 2021 incident.
周一在洛杉磯舉行的初步聽證會上,法官m·l·維拉爾裁定,有足夠的證據(jù)讓說唱歌手奈爾·拉基姆·邁耶斯就2021年11月6日的事件接受審判。邁耶斯對2022年8月的兩項(xiàng)持槍襲擊指控不認(rèn)罪。

"I am certain Rocky will be vindicated of all of this," the rapper's lawyer Joe Tacopina said outside the courthouse.
“我確信Rocky將被證明無罪,”他的律師Joe Tacopina在法庭外說。

During the hearing, Detective Frank Flores took the stand and new surveillance video was unveiled, in addition to what was shown at the previous hearing earlier this month. In the new footage, two loud pops, which the prosecution team said is the alleged shooting, were heard but not seen.
在聽證會上,弗蘭克·弗洛雷斯警探站在證人席上,除了本月早些時(shí)候的聽證會上展示的內(nèi)容外,還公布了新的監(jiān)控視頻。在新的錄像中,兩聲巨響被聽到,但沒有看到,檢控小組稱這是所謂的槍擊。

Flores confirmed he reviewed the footage in his investigation and Rocky, 35, had a gun in his hand during the altercation. Under cross examination, however, he revealed the gun was never recovered. Meanwhile, the two shell casings that were recovered from the scene by Relli (real name Terell Ephron) and turned into police two days later had no fingerprints.
弗洛雷斯證實(shí),他在調(diào)查過程中查看了錄像,35歲的洛奇在發(fā)生口角時(shí)手里拿著槍。然而,在交叉詢問下,他透露那把槍從未被找到。與此同時(shí),Relli在現(xiàn)場發(fā)現(xiàn)并在兩天后交給警方的兩個(gè)彈殼沒有指紋。

The "Praise the Lord" rapper's trial is set to begin on Jan. 8.
這位演唱《贊美上帝》的說唱歌手的審判將于1月8日開始。

At the previous hearing, a photo of Relli's minor injuries displayed in the courtroom showed small patches of raw, bloody skin on the knuckles of his index, middle and ring fingers on his left hand.
在之前的聽證會上,法庭上展示的一張雷利輕傷的照片顯示,他左手的食指、中指和無名指的指關(guān)節(jié)上有小塊流血的皮膚。

According to legal documents obtained by PEOPLE, Relli filed a civil suit for assault, battery and emotional distress against Rocky on Aug. 10, 2022.
根據(jù)《人物》獲得的法律文件,雷利于2022年8月10日對洛奇提起了人身攻擊、毆打和精神傷害的民事訴訟。

Rocky (who has two children — sons RZA, 18 months, and Riot, 3 months — with his partner, pop superstar Rihanna, 35) has denied all claims. 
洛奇(與35歲的流行巨星蕾哈娜育有兩個(gè)孩子——18個(gè)月大的RZA和3個(gè)月大的Riot)否認(rèn)了所有指控。

In his answer to the civil complaint, his attorneys wrote, "Defendant generally denies each and every allegation of the complaint, and specifically denies that Plaintiff has been damaged in any amount or in any way as a result of any act or omission of answering defendant. The injuries and/or damages complained of in the complaint, if any, were caused solely, directly and proximately by the negligent and/or intentional acts or omissions of person other than answering defendant."
在他對民事訴訟的答復(fù)中,他的律師寫道:“被告一般否認(rèn)訴訟中的每一項(xiàng)指控,并特別否認(rèn)原告因回答被告的任何作為或不作為而受到任何數(shù)量或任何方式的損害。在訴狀中投訴的傷害和/或損害,如果有的話,是完全、直接和近似地由被告以外的人的疏忽和/或故意行為或不作為造成的。”

Relli — a former fellow member of the hip-hop collective A$AP Mob — claimed he was struck by bullet fragments after the argument, and said in court that he sought necessary medical attention at a hospital in New York City. The two men were childhood friends and went to high school together in New York.
雷利是嘻哈組合A$AP Mob的前成員,他聲稱自己在爭吵后被子彈碎片擊中,并在法庭上說,他在紐約市的一家醫(yī)院尋求了必要的醫(yī)療照顧。兩人是青梅竹馬,在紐約一起上高中。

“We were really cool. We were chill all the time,” Relli recalled on the stand, before stating that tension started to build when Rocky found solo success and became "big-headed."
“我們真的很酷。我們一直都很冷淡,”雷利在證人席上回憶道,后來他又說,洛奇單飛成功后,氣氛開始緊張起來,變得“自大”起來。

After their friend and Mob member A$AP Josh died in October 2021, Relli testified that his mother asked for financial help to bring his body back to New York and that Rocky promised to financially help via group text. Although defense attorney Tacopina claimed Rocky did pay in full, at the time Relli didn't believe this happened, he told the court.
在他們的朋友和黑幫成員A$AP Josh于2021年10月去世后,雷利作證說,他的母親要求經(jīng)濟(jì)援助將他的尸體帶回紐約,洛奇通過群短信承諾提供經(jīng)濟(jì)援助。盡管辯護(hù)律師塔科皮納聲稱洛基確實(shí)支付了全部費(fèi)用,但當(dāng)時(shí)雷利告訴法庭,他不相信發(fā)生了這件事。

A month later — and days before Rocky was headlining ComplexCon — Relli said he overheard Rocky badmouthing him on speakerphone to another friend and decided to end their friendship. “Truthfully, it felt good. I was mentally preparing myself to leave and don’t need that stigma or type of people. [Rocky] was never going to help,” Relli said.
一個(gè)月后,也就是洛奇登上ComplexCon頭條的前幾天,雷利說他無意中聽到洛奇在電話里對另一個(gè)朋友說他的壞話,于是決定結(jié)束他們的友誼。“說實(shí)話,感覺很好。我在心理上做好了離開的準(zhǔn)備,不需要那種恥辱或那種人。[洛奇]永遠(yuǎn)不會幫上忙,”雷利說。

He told the court that he later spotted Rocky with his two friends Illijah Ulanga (A$AP Illz) and Jamil Phillips (A$AP Twelvyy) in front of a parking garage on Hollywood Boulevard. Surveillance video shown in the courtroom appeared to show Rocky walking toward Relli and shoving him.
他告訴法庭,他后來在好萊塢大道的一個(gè)停車場前看到洛奇和他的兩個(gè)朋友伊利亞·烏蘭加和賈米爾·菲利普斯。法庭上的監(jiān)控錄像顯示,洛奇走向雷利,推搡他。

"He grabbed me on my collar. He was shaking me. I tried to push him off, get his hands off,” Relli said in the courtroom. “That’s when [Rocky] pulled a gun from his waistband. It was a standard clip and a semi-automatic black gun.”
他抓住我的衣領(lǐng)。他在搖我。我試圖推開他,把他的手拿開,”雷利在法庭上說。“就在這時(shí),洛奇從腰間掏出了一把槍。那是一把標(biāo)準(zhǔn)彈夾和一把半自動黑色槍。”

“He pointed it toward my stomach,” Relli continued. “I’ll kill you right now,” he alleged that Rocky said to him.
“他指著我的肚子,”雷利繼續(xù)說道。“我現(xiàn)在就殺了你,”他聲稱洛奇對他說。

“Oh, he was angry," he continued. "He had [the gun] pressed up against me, to my chest then head.”
“哦,他很生氣,”他接著說。“他拿著(槍)頂著我,頂著我的胸部,然后頂著我的頭。”

“I said, ‘Shoot it’ because I was mad," added Relli. "I said ‘Why you bring a gun if you not going to use it?’ I would never bring a weapon. Not in that situation."
“我說,‘拍它’,因?yàn)槲液苌鷼猓?rdquo;雷利補(bǔ)充道。“我說,‘如果你不用槍,為什么要帶槍?“我永遠(yuǎn)不會帶武器。不是在那種情況下。”

The surveillance footage (with no sound) then showed the group of men involved in an altercation on the corner of Selma Avenue and Vista Del Mar Avenue in Hollywood.
監(jiān)控錄像(沒有聲音)顯示,這群人在好萊塢塞爾瑪大道和Vista Del Mar大道的拐角處發(fā)生了口角。

“Rocky turned around and shot at me,” Relli claimed Wednesday, noting he was approximately 16 feet from him. “It all looked like a movie.” He continued to testify that Rocky shot "three or four" more times at Relli, who said he used A$AP Illz as a human shield.
“洛奇轉(zhuǎn)身向我開槍,”雷利周三聲稱,并指出他離他大約16英尺。“這一切看起來就像一部電影。”他繼續(xù)作證說,洛奇又向雷利開了“三到四槍”,雷利說他把A$AP Illz作為人肉盾牌。

The video ended with one member of the group sprinting away as the two other men fled on foot after the gun was allegedly fired. About an hour later, Relli testified, he went back to the scene to retrieve two 9mm shell casings from the incident. Under cross-examination, Relli admitted that he didn’t call 911 until two days later because he wanted to retain a lawyer first.
視頻結(jié)束時(shí),該團(tuán)伙的一名成員跑開,另外兩名男子在據(jù)稱開槍后徒步逃跑。雷利作證說,大約一個(gè)小時(shí)后,他回到現(xiàn)場,從事故中取出兩枚9毫米彈殼。在交叉詢問中,雷利承認(rèn)他直到兩天后才撥打911,因?yàn)樗胂绕刚堃幻蓭煛?br />
Rocky was subsequently arrested at Los Angeles International Airport on April 20, 2022, and was released on bail the same day, per the Los Angeles Times. He was returning on a private plane from Barbados, where he was vacationing with Rihanna (who was not present in court on Wednesday) — only a few weeks before the birth of the couple's first son RZA. Rocky was later released after posting a $550,000 bond, according to the outlet.
據(jù)《洛杉磯時(shí)報(bào)》報(bào)道,Rocky于2022年4月20日在洛杉磯國際機(jī)場被捕,并于當(dāng)天獲得保釋。他是乘坐私人飛機(jī)從巴巴多斯回來的,當(dāng)時(shí)他正在巴巴多斯和蕾哈娜度假(蕾哈娜周三沒有出庭)——就在他們的第一個(gè)兒子RZA出生前幾周。據(jù)媒體報(bào)道,洛奇在繳納了55萬美元的保釋金后被釋放。

Following the arrest, Los Angeles police detectives searched the rapper's home seeking evidence concerning the case. According to the Los Angeles Times, detectives had the artist under surveillance for some time and tracked his return from the island.
被捕后,洛杉磯警方搜查了這位說唱歌手的家,尋找與此案有關(guān)的證據(jù)。據(jù)《洛杉磯時(shí)報(bào)》報(bào)道,偵探們監(jiān)視了這位藝術(shù)家一段時(shí)間,并追蹤了他從島上回來的情況。

Relli's lawyers claimed in the civil complaint that Rocky's conduct was "extreme and outrageous" and caused their client to suffer "severe emotional distress." Relli is suing for more than $25,000 in general damages, additional money to cover his medical bills and punitive damages of an unspecified amount in civil court.
雷利的律師在民事訴訟中聲稱,洛奇的行為是“極端和令人發(fā)指的”,并使他們的客戶遭受了“嚴(yán)重的精神困擾”。Relli正在向民事法庭提起訴訟,要求賠償超過2.5萬美元的一般損害賠償、額外的醫(yī)療費(fèi)用以及數(shù)額不詳?shù)膽土P性損害賠償。
