In the recent update, Rocky has pleaded not guilty, sticking to his very first statement. From the beginning, Rocky has been saying he was the one attacked and he was not the attacker. Rocky’s lawyer tells the court, “He admits that he threw the plaintiff on the ground, that he stepped on his arm and punched or pushed his shoulder,”. Rocky and Jafar, the other guy in the video will be cross-examined on Tuesday in the Stockholm district court. Rocky plans to plead not guilty but no one can tell how it’s going to go.
