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$AP Rocky被指控在激烈的讨论后用半自动手枪射击他的前朋友和原告A$AP Relli,他将在1月份面临审判。

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.
周一在洛杉矶举行的初步听证会上,法官m·l·维拉尔裁定,有足够的证据让说唱歌手奈尔·拉基姆·迈耶斯就2021年11月6日的事件接受审判。迈耶斯对2022年8月的两项持枪袭击指控不认罪。

"I am certain Rocky will be vindicated of all of this," the rapper's lawyer Joe Tacopina said outside the courthouse.
“我确信Rocky将被证明无罪,”他的律师Joe Tacopina在法庭外说。

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.
在听证会上,弗兰克·弗洛雷斯警探站在证人席上,除了本月早些时候的听证会上展示的内容外,还公布了新的监控视频。在新的录像中,两声巨响被听到,但没有看到,检控小组称这是所谓的枪击。

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.
弗洛雷斯证实,他在调查过程中查看了录像,35岁的洛奇在发生口角时手里拿着枪。然而,在交叉询问下,他透露那把枪从未被找到。与此同时,Relli在现场发现并在两天后交给警方的两个弹壳没有指纹。

The "Praise the Lord" rapper's trial is set to begin on Jan. 8.
这位演唱《赞美上帝》的说唱歌手的审判将于1月8日开始。

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.
在之前的听证会上,法庭上展示的一张雷利轻伤的照片显示,他左手的食指、中指和无名指的指关节上有小块流血的皮肤。

According to legal documents obtained by PEOPLE, Relli filed a civil suit for assault, battery and emotional distress against Rocky on Aug. 10, 2022.
根据《人物》获得的法律文件,雷利于2022年8月10日对洛奇提起了人身攻击、殴打和精神伤害的民事诉讼。

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(与35岁的流行巨星蕾哈娜育有两个孩子——18个月大的RZA和3个月大的Riot)否认了所有指控。

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."
在他对民事诉讼的答复中,他的律师写道:“被告一般否认诉讼中的每一项指控,并特别否认原告因回答被告的任何作为或不作为而受到任何数量或任何方式的损害。在诉状中投诉的伤害和/或损害,如果有的话,是完全、直接和近似地由被告以外的人的疏忽和/或故意行为或不作为造成的。”

Relli — a former fellow member of the hip-hop collective A$AP Mob — claimed he was struck by bullet fragments after the argument, and said in court that he sought necessary medical attention at a hospital in New York City. The two men were childhood friends and went to high school together in New York.
雷利是嘻哈组合A$AP Mob的前成员,他声称自己在争吵后被子弹碎片击中,并在法庭上说,他在纽约市的一家医院寻求了必要的医疗照顾。两人是青梅竹马,在纽约一起上高中。

“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."
“我们真的很酷。我们一直都很冷淡,”雷利在证人席上回忆道,后来他又说,洛奇单飞成功后,气氛开始紧张起来,变得“自大”起来。

After their friend and Mob member A$AP Josh died in October 2021, Relli testified that his mother asked for financial help to bring his body back to New York and that Rocky promised to financially help via group text. Although defense attorney Tacopina claimed Rocky did pay in full, at the time Relli didn't believe this happened, he told the court.
在他们的朋友和黑帮成员A$AP Josh于2021年10月去世后,雷利作证说,他的母亲要求经济援助将他的尸体带回纽约,洛奇通过群短信承诺提供经济援助。尽管辩护律师塔科皮纳声称洛基确实支付了全部费用,但当时雷利告诉法庭,他不相信发生了这件事。

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.
一个月后,也就是洛奇登上ComplexCon头条的前几天,雷利说他无意中听到洛奇在电话里对另一个朋友说他的坏话,于是决定结束他们的友谊。“说实话,感觉很好。我在心理上做好了离开的准备,不需要那种耻辱或那种人。[洛奇]永远不会帮上忙,”雷利说。

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.
他告诉法庭,他后来在好莱坞大道的一个停车场前看到洛奇和他的两个朋友伊利亚·乌兰加和贾米尔·菲利普斯。法庭上的监控录像显示,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.”
他抓住我的衣领。他在摇我。我试图推开他,把他的手拿开,”雷利在法庭上说。“就在这时,洛奇从腰间掏出了一把枪。那是一把标准弹夹和一把半自动黑色枪。”

“He pointed it toward my stomach,” Relli continued. “I’ll kill you right now,” he alleged that Rocky said to him.
“他指着我的肚子,”雷利继续说道。“我现在就杀了你,”他声称洛奇对他说。

“Oh, he was angry," he continued. "He had [the gun] pressed up against me, to my chest then head.”
“哦,他很生气,”他接着说。“他拿着(枪)顶着我,顶着我的胸部,然后顶着我的头。”

“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."
“我说,‘拍它’,因为我很生气,”雷利补充道。“我说,‘如果你不用枪,为什么要带枪?“我永远不会带武器。不是在那种情况下。”

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.
监控录像(没有声音)显示,这群人在好莱坞塞尔玛大道和Vista Del Mar大道的拐角处发生了口角。

“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$AP Illz as a human shield.
“洛奇转身向我开枪,”雷利周三声称,并指出他离他大约16英尺。“这一切看起来就像一部电影。”他继续作证说,洛奇又向雷利开了“三到四枪”,雷利说他把A$AP Illz作为人肉盾牌。

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.
视频结束时,该团伙的一名成员跑开,另外两名男子在据称开枪后徒步逃跑。雷利作证说,大约一个小时后,他回到现场,从事故中取出两枚9毫米弹壳。在交叉询问中,雷利承认他直到两天后才拨打911,因为他想先聘请一名律师。

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.
据《洛杉矶时报》报道,Rocky于2022年4月20日在洛杉矶国际机场被捕,并于当天获得保释。他是乘坐私人飞机从巴巴多斯回来的,当时他正在巴巴多斯和蕾哈娜度假(蕾哈娜周三没有出庭)——就在他们的第一个儿子RZA出生前几周。据媒体报道,洛奇在缴纳了55万美元的保释金后被释放。

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,洛杉矶警方搜查了这位说唱歌手的家,寻找与此案有关的证据。据《洛杉矶时报》报道,侦探们监视了这位艺术家一段时间,并追踪了他从岛上回来的情况。

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.
雷利的律师在民事诉讼中声称,洛奇的行为是“极端和令人发指的”,并使他们的客户遭受了“严重的精神困扰”。Relli正在向民事法庭提起诉讼,要求赔偿超过2.5万美元的一般损害赔偿、额外的医疗费用以及数额不详的惩罚性损害赔偿。
