Swedish court convicts US rapper A$AP Rocky of assault, suspends sentence following a high-profile trial that led President Trump to question the fairness of Sweden's legal system

After nearly a month behind bars, the three were released Aug. 2 and returned to the United States. The court gave them "conditional sentences" for the assault convictions, meaning they don't have to serve prison time unless they commit a similar offence in Sweden again.Slobodan Jovicic, the Grammy-nominated artist's Swedish defence lawyer, said he had been looking for "a complete acquittal" and was disappointed by the verdict.
During the trial, prosecutors played video footage that showed the Mayers throwing a young man to the ground. Mayers had told the court before his release that Jafari and his friend refused to go away despite several appeals, and claimed they appeared to be under the influence of drugs.
