With Rihanna and two toddlers looking on from the audience, a prosecutor at the Los Angeles trial of A$AP Rocky told jurors during his closing argument Thursday that they have "one critical question" to answer.

Closing arguments have begun in the trial of US rapper ASAP Rocky who denies firing at a former friend with a handgun. The Grammy-nominated music star, fashion mogul and actor is the long-time partner of singing superstar Rihanna, who entered the courtroom in Los Angeles a few minutes into Thursday’s session.
