ASAP Rocky's defense attorney Slobodan Jovicic is disappointed. At a press conference after the verdict has fallen, he says it is too early to say whether it will be appealed or not.
- My argument has obviously not reached all the way forward. Is anyone who has failed then it is me, he says.
Slobodan Jovicic has not yet been in direct contact with his client, but says the verdict probably comes as no surprise.
- We talked about this a lot. Everyone has been spreading. I think in the end he is grateful to be home. But disappointed that we did not reach all the way forward. For him, that was the only issue that mattered. That he had an objection to the fact that these guys (prosecutors, editor, notices) had not been bullied against him.
ASAP Rocky has not yet commented on the judgment on his social media channels, but Expressen has been in contact with the artist's mother, Renee Black, who visited Sweden in connection with the trial.
- It doesn't feel good at all. I can't say more right now, she tells the newspaper about the verdict.
However, Slobodan Jovicic assures that ASAP Rocky will return to Sweden in the future after what has happened.
- I know he'll be back. One hundred percent, he says.
