Headline: A$AP Rocky declines to testify in own defence
Caption: After speaking with his lawyer, the rapper decided not to take the stand in his own defence. Rocky was not legally required to do so, and the potential for a damaging cross-examination may have proven too risky for the defence team. He confirmed the decision to a judge in the final phase of his felony firearm assault trial in Los Angeles. "You have a right to get on the stand and give your side of the case," the judge told him, going on to say that, "It's totally your decision to either get on the stand or waive your right to testify and not testify."
