The badault case in Sweden against New York rapper A $ AP Rocky has turned the Internet into a strange vortex of hip-hop followers and law professors in the chair, all in the process of give their opinion on what should happen.
A $ AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, and his entourage were involved in a fight on June 30 with two men in Sweden. A few days later, Rocky was arrested by the Swedish police for aggravated badault.
Since then he has been detained in prison. If he is found guilty, the maximum penalty is two years.
Several rappers have announced that they will boycott Sweden during his next tours. President Trump also tweeted to the Swedish Prime Minister to demand that Rocky be allowed to go home – and even offered to pay his bail (which he can not do because Sweden does not have a release system under caution).
"Countries with a bail system tend to favor people with significant financial resources, a high social status in society and perhaps famous and wealthy," said Dennis Martinson. , lecturer in criminal law at Stockholm University.
Do not have bail, he said, "is a way to ensure that everyone is equal before the law also, that, somehow, you can not buy your way to freedom."
VICE NEWS explains how this case could have lasting effects on the Swedish legal system and explores Trump's strange concern for Rocky's freedom.
