Joe Tacopina Feeling Confident A$AP Rocky Will Be Exonerated

Cross-examination is one of Joe’s biggest strengths — on display in Trump’s trial with E. Jean Carroll — and he put the prosecution’s star witness in the Rocky case, A$AP Relli, through the ringer … to the point he claims he caught Relli in a web of lies.

As Joe tells it … he defends his clients like family … and it shows in court. He’s painted the case as a money grab and claims Rocky used a prop gun in a dispute with a former friend who he claims is trying to extort Rocky.

The trial had some dramatic moments too … like when Rocky yelled out to A$AP Twelvyy during testimony, telling his A$AP Mob member not to reveal what ‘AWGE’ means.

Joe says he had to stomp on Rocky’s foot under the table to warn him … joking he was glad Rocky didn’t have a similar outburst in a more meaningful part of the trial.

Rocky’s got a lot at stake here — his career hangs in the balance — and the verdict is going to see him walk free or be thrown in jail for years … with no in-between.

Brand deals hang in the wings too … Rocky’s got a cologne campaign coming out with Gucci for its Gucci Guilty scent … and Joe tells us why he’s been wrestling with the fashion house to hold off on marketing Rocky with Guilty … at least until the verdict is in.

We also asked Joe the question on everyone’s minds … just when will that verdict come in?!?

Hard to say, but sounds like Joe’s not losing any sleep over it … he’s confident with his defense and his track record backs it up.

It’s an interesting look inside Rocky’s defense and Joe tells us about some of his other big cases … lots of wins to choose from here, but some stick out in our minds.
