AMERICAN RAPPER NOW STANDS
CONVICTED OF ASSAULT FOR HIS
ROLE IN A STOCKHOLM FOR ALL
BACK IN JUNE WITH US NOW TO
DISCUSS IS CRIMINAL DEFENSE
ATTORNEY MIKE MARK EICHLER
RUSH.
MARK WELCOME TO THE SHOW.
>>THANKS HAPPY TO BE HERE.
>>YES, SO THE COURT HANDED DOWN
A CONDITIONAL SENTENCE FOR A
SEPARATE KEYS
TO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE
RAPPER.
>>MEANS HE WAS FOUND GUILTY
WON'T HAVE TO SERVE ANY
ADDITIONAL
TIME IN THE 6 WEEKS OR SO THAT
HE WAS IN IT WAS A SUSPENDED
SENTENCE SO WE HAVE THOSE
THINGS HERE WITH THE JUDGES SAY
OK I'M SENSING YOU ESSENTIALLY
TO THE TIME THAT YOU'VE
ALREADY SERVE YOU DON'T HAVE TO
DO ANYTHING MORE.
>>AS YOU MENTIONED HE DOESN'T
HAVE TO SERVE ANY FURTHER JAIL
TIME AFTER THIS COURT RULING SO
THAT'S BECAUSE IT WAS NOT
CONSIDERED A
BRAWL OF A SERIOUS NATURE WHAT
EXACTLY DOES THAT MEAN.
>>YOU CAN ASK THE JUDGE I DID
IT FOR IT WAS SERIOUS ABOUT
WHERE THEY JAILED HIM FOR MANY
WEEKS WITH NO BOUGHT CONSIDER
HIM A FLIGHT RISK. ULTIMATELY
MAYBE E JUST FOUND IT WAS
DIDN'T REACH THE HIGHEST
THRESHOLD OF WHAT'S REQUIRED
UNDER THE LAW WE AT THE STATE
IN GEAR DEGREES
OF SYRIA SAYS, YOU KNOW
AGGRAVATED ASSAULT SIMPLE
ASSAULT IS LESSER DEGREES.
MAYBE THAT'S WHAT HE FOUND.
>>AND ALL OF THE OTHER
CELEBRITIES WHO WERE INVOLVED
IN STANDING UP FOR A SAV ROCCA
HE HAD AN INFLUENCE IN THE CASE
HERE.
>>IT'S VERY POSSIBLE. YOU KNOW,
I'M GOING TO STAY OUT
OF THE POLITIC RANGE, BUT I'LL
JUST SAY THIS. IT IS FAIRLY
UNPRECEDENTED FOR THE LEADER OF
THE FREE WORLD TO GET INVOLVED
IN A. IN A
CASE LIKE THIS WILL LEAVE IT
LIKE THAT.
>>IT'S VERY VERY UNUSUAL OUT
IT'S NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.
DOES THAT HAVE SOME IMPACT ON
THE CASE. WELL PEOPLE SEE IT.
WHAT IMPACT IT HAS NO ONE KNOWS
EITHER SOMETHING.
GO AHEAD YOU GO.
>>WE'RE SAYING I KNOW THAT HE
WAS THERE FOR WEEKS AND THIS IS
AN INTERNATIONAL CASE WITH AN
AMERICAN. SO HOW DOES THAT SORT
OF COMPLICATE THINGS FOR ASAP
ROCKY MOVING FORWARD HOW THIS
FACT 10 WILL HE BE ABLE TO
TRAVEL TO SWEDEN OR OTHER
COUNTRIES.
>>WELL THIS WEEK MAY HAVE A
PROBLEM WITH IT I DON'T KNOW
THEY'RE THEY'RE YOU KNOW
INTERNATIONAL LAWS REGARDING
PEOPLE IT CAN BE THERE
BUT THEY MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH IT I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT
ANYWHERE THIS IS A VERY
ISOLATED INCIDENT. BUT IT IS
POSSIBLE. SO THAT'S WHAT
CONCERNS EVERYBODY. EITHER ONE
OF 2 THINGS HAPPEN. THIS WAS
SOMETHING NEFARIOUS MEANING A
JUDGE IS AFFECTED BY POLITICS
WAS AFFECTED BY THE COLOR OF
HIS SKIN WAS AFFECTED BY.
IF YOU DON'T FILL IN ALL THE
CONSPIRACY THEORIES.
>>OR.
>>HE JUST DID HIS JOB. HE DID
HIS JOB I CAN EXPLAIN TO YOU
WHY HE MAY HAVE FOUND THAT HE
WAS CRIMINALLY RESPONSIBLE.
>>SO IF HE DID DO HIS JOB WHY
DO YOU THINK
AND THAT HE MADE THAT DECISION.
>>WELL THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
I'M GLAD YOU ASKED IT. I WAS
JUST A BIT. LET'S JUST SAY IT
AGAIN I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS IN
HIS HEAD. IT'S NO DIFFERENT AND
IN MANY CASES THAT WE HAVE HERE
WHERE A JUDGE PUTTING ASIDE
POLITICS, PUTTING ASIDE ANY
KIND OF PREJUDICE FOCUSES ON
THE FACTS AND LET'S SAY THE
JUDGE SAID
YEAH, I'M SYMPATHETIC TO THE
DEFENDANT BECAUSE HE DID SAY
BACK ALL
THAT CALL. I MEAN THE RESTRAINT
THAT HE SHOWED WHAT I'M VIDEO
THAT YOU SEE WHERE HE GOES UP
TO THE GUY LOOK WE DON'T WANT
TROUBLE WAS ADMIRABLE. HOWEVER,
THE JUDGE THEY HAVE FOUND AT
SOME POINT. IF
THE GUY STILL PURSUES YOU AND
IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A
REASONABLE THREAT OF DEATH OR
GREAT BODILY HARM. YOU DON'T
GET THE RIGHT TO KICK IS ASKED
