Speaker 2 (00:59):
Sai, it's been ten years for Rerito, so I love

Speaker 3 (01:04):
I mean, I ain't never gonna stop wanting that.
Speaker 6 (01:05):
I do love her.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I like her. Well, yes, now we can focus back
on her now that this man is free.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Yeah, I mean, let me tell you. Listen yesterday so asap,
Rocky was found not guilty yesterday in court he was
found not guilty of all charges. Uh so he's gonna
walk free. And the minute that the verdict was read,
y'all talking about Rihanna, just his family, and it went crazy.
Let's take a listen, b A five is zero eight
(01:31):
one for two, that's zero one.
Speaker 7 (01:34):
We luxury bove the time actually find the defendant. ROCKI
mayors not guilty.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I'm saying I love the yo. He jumped over that
that bench in Rihanna's arms.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
There were reporters in the court, Mack and qun if.
She said that, actually Rihanna was in tears. Yeah, that
they read the verdict when he jumped over and hugged her.
And his family was in tears as well too.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
Yeah, no safer place to beat in those women's arms.
He dived into the twenty four years years.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah, and that happened pretty fast. I know it probably
didn't feel fast for Rocky or for Rihanna, for his family,
but fourteen days, they went to deliberations yesterday, came back
at the end of the day. It was around like
eight o'clock when the jury came back with the not
guilty and yeah, he was facing he was accused of
firing gun at his former friend Asap Brelly, so he
was looking at some time. Now, people though, aren't asking
(02:30):
what happens because okay, so on one side you have
ACEPS attorney who's like he lied on the stand a lot.
So what are we gonna do about this? Let's take
a listen to Joe Tacopina, Asap Rocky's attorney after court.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
We're grateful for the jury they saw through this barrage
day they won. He turned down a plate for almost
no jail time because he was innocent. This was an extortion.
The extortions played out live in colored in court. What
it says is that the district attorneyship looked long and
hard at prosecuting Pyrel Frock. We said that from day
(03:02):
one they should do it. Now they have them admitting
to perjury. They have a committed insortion. Destroy stow through
it and came through it enormously quick. As Screeny verdict
for me, my partner Chad where honored have represented this
amazing family him. Rocky was one of my closest friends.
But it's also just a great, great person, said Joe.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Probably get charge of perjury.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
He should, that's what they're pushing for, very extortion.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
There's a few moments on the stand where he had
said things and then it was debunked, and it was
a lot that happened. But also to Raley had foiled
that thirty million dollar defamation lawsuit against ASAS that was
first run. That was it was like after the shooting,
but it was before the criminal started. Yes, yes, and
that's gonna have to be thrown out because he was
alleging that because of the shooting and because of the
statements that aces acept Rocky's attorney was making, he was
(03:53):
being defamed, he was being threatened online. And now you know,
in the court of law you were it was found
that this didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
They could prove he lied on the stand. He should
have to be prosecuted.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
He should be prosecuted because there's no way that ASAP
Rocky has to pay for attorney fees, has to do
all these different things, and somebody who lies on the
stand just walks now.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Knew who Asap really was until this situation, and so
now it's just like that's what you're known for, you know,
for somebody who couldn't even rat right, and I.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Know even she got shot now real, I mean just yeah,
he was lying, Well, don't we really do? What should happened?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Well, congratulations to Asap Rocky. My advice is to never
leave the house ever again. Okay, but I can't happen.
Don't communicate with any n words after five PM. Situations
like this, though, is you get to really see who's who.
I'm sure over the last however many years it's been
he's got to see who was like really in his corner.
So saluting you Asap, rockey.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yes, family, moving on a CARDI B girl, So I
had to.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
I staid that that Stephan was keeping her busy. She
decided to tweet about OFFSET when she got to it.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah, well you asked yesterday, she responded, She because you
know she'll get online now listen, she didn't. She didn't
say Offsets name in this tweet, but of course, and
she deleted the tweet. But we know what this is given.
So yesterday, after we reported about her amazing Valentine's a
weekend CARDI got on Twitter and she tweeted, I'm getting
harassed the worst way. I suggest you shut up and
leave me alone. In less than one hour, or people's
(05:20):
careers will be getting ruined, including including this in all caps.
You famous bees, that was getting f't leave me alone. Now,
we don't know who she is claiming it is harassing her,
but what the fans you know, have gathered from this
is that this is in response to her being out
and about having a good time and it being picked
up that she was out about having a good time
with us Stephan Diggs over the weekend, and that the
(05:42):
person that she is talking to on Twitter is offset
because she does that often when they're going back and forth. So,
I mean, the tweet was deleted and no one's gotten exposed.
So I'm assumed that, you know, thirty five minutes into
that hour, he realized, let me just she said, girls,
that was getting Yeah, I guess you know.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
She said she got look at out put his hand

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
