Fairly Legal

A$AP Rocky will be judged by a jury of his peers in his felony assault trial -- but none of those peers are Black.

Jury selection in Rocky's trial for allegedly shooting A$AP Relli just wrapped up in downtown L.A., and the gender split is 7 women and 5 men. What's kinda odd, considering L.A.'s population, is there's not a single Black juror.

Keep in mind, both Rocky and the alleged victim are African-American. The jurors are white, Asian and Hispanic. Four alternate jurors who were selected are all women ... and not Black.

Being an outlaw in Mississippi could be as simple as busting a nut, or at least that's what a state senator is proposing with a new law that effectively bans masturbation ... for men, anyway!

MS Sen. Bradford Blackmon even slapped a catchy name on his legislation -- the "Contraception Begins at Erection Act" -- which aims to block men from spreading (or wasting) their seed unless they intend to make a baby. So, no playing five-on-one with yourself or any other forms of pleasure that end with you wasting those precious sailors.

The bill does have some exceptions, however ... especially in regard to activities related to baby-making endeavors, including sperm donation.

Trump signed the order in the Oval Office ... telling the crowd people have been waiting for this moment for decades.

Bryan Kohberger is back in court ... appearing before a judge for the first time in 2025 -- and, he looks all cleaned up.

The alleged murderer of four University of Idaho students arrived in a Boise courtroom Thursday ... wearing a full suit and shaving the scruff off his face. Remember, he was sporting a thin beard when his last mug shot was taken in September.

Kohberger appeared solemn during proceedings ... paying close attention while his lawyers argued with the prosecution over potential key pieces of evidence.

The driver who allegedly caused the car wreck that killed Minnesota Vikings cornerback Khyree Jackson and two others has just been hit with multiple criminal charges.

Officials allege Clingman was traveling at a high rate of speed in Upper Marlboro while impaired ... and hit Jackson's ride as she was trying to make a lane change. Jackson's vehicle, cops said, careened off the road and hit multiple trees.

Jury selection is currently proceeding in A$AP's trial after he turned down a plea deal and decided to fight the gun charges he's facing ... and, potential jurors are getting asked a ton of questions about both A$AP and his better half.

Diddy is going after a grand jury witness and a lawyer he claims have been spreading lies about him ... accusing them of fabricating stories for media attention.

The disgraced mogul is suing Courtney Burgess -- a man who appeared as a witness for the grand jury -- and Ariel Mitchell, Burgess' lawyer, for spreading what he says are "outlandish claims" and "baseless speculation" to feed the public's desire for "wild lies."

Diddy fired back at some specific claims in the lawsuit as well ... calling out Burgess for alleging he possesses video of the star sexually assaulting celebrities and minors.

Bryan Kohberger's not in court for his first hearing of 2025 ... 'cause the judge decided to excuse him for Wednesday's proceedings.

Attorneys for the alleged murderer appeared before the judge for the first time in 2025, attempting to get a large swath of DNA evidence connected to his family tossed by a judge.

The appearance is streaming live ... but, the courtroom itself is closed to the public because the judge wants the ability to seal proceedings. The case has been conducted mostly in secrecy while the court tries to ensure Kohberger receives a fair trial.

They say he's violating court rules that stop a lawyer from making statements to the press that are irrelevant to a case and might prejudice the jury.
