nypost.com:

Rihanna, the superstar singer, and Rocky’s partner, watched from the audience for the second straight day.After the jury left for the day, Superior Court Mark Arnold said that he hadn’t heard the latter part of the statement, and would tell them to disregard it when they returned for the rest of the cross-examination Friday.Relli, whose legal name is Terell Ephron, testified that Rocky pointed a gun at his stomach and head, but it wasn’t actually touching him, and that Rocky said he was going to kill him.

Rocky’s lawyer Joe Tacopina confronted him with a prosecutor’s interview in 2022 when he said the gun was pressed into his stomach, and he hadn’t remembered what Rocky said.Relli broke courtroom decorum to shout at Rocky, “You did this to yourself” earlier in the day.

The judge admonished him. Relli responded, “He was staring at me!”Rocky, whose legal name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers, sat at the defense table in a black suit and did not audibly respond.

He is charged with two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic handgun for allegedly firing at Relli, his friend since high school.
