STORYLINE:
Dozens of jurors will return to a Los Angeles courtroom for the possibility of serving on the trial of rapper A$AP Rocky, who is charged with firing a gun at a former friend.
Opening statements in the case will begin once a jury is seated.
A judge says he expects that will happen on Thursday.
The hip-hop star’s attorneys are objecting to the small number of Black jurors brought to the courtroom as candidates.
They’re appealing a judge’s decision to reject a hearing on the issue.
Jurors were questioned Wednesday about their attitude toward Rocky’s partner Rihanna, after many said they were fans.
