A Los Angeles judge invited superstar Rihanna to come to criminal court to support her boyfriend, rapper A$AP Rocky, at his upcoming jury trial for allegedly shooting a former friend.

Rihanna's partner could serve up to 24 years in prison if convicted on all charges.

Without using Rihanna’s name, judge Mark S. Arnold asked the rapper’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, if ‘the mother of (Rocky’s) two children’ would be attending the trial so he could make proper security accommodations.  Tacopina said he didn’t know if she would be in court, but added that while she may come for the start, it’s unlikely she’d be there for the whole trial.

“If she wants to come, she’s welcome to come. If she can’t come, that’s fine,” Judge Arnold said.

Judge Arnold told the defense lawyer and prosecutor that Rocky shouldn’t expect any star treatment at his trial and had ordered that Rocky must attend jury selection and each day of the trial even though he’s out on bond.
‘The fact that Mr Mayers is a celebrity will make no difference in this court,’ he said. ‘He is going to be treated like anybody else.’

The judge said he will allow video cameras to air the trial that's expected to last about two weeks.
“I believe that the public deserves to see what goes on in the courtroom," the judge said.

he is concerned about security measures. the judge is likely to be aware that Rihanna will come and try to use her 'star power' because her man is almost certainly going to jail for several years.

Or he wants to double check whether this is the perfect opportunity to pull out his Savage X Fenty he has been wearing under the robes or nah?? 

But really wouldn't security still be of the highest priority either way considering its A$AP rocky?
