Rodney King to marry juror from LA police beating case
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11245542

Nineteen years after his brutal beating by four LA police officers, Rodney King is marrying a juror from the case.

Graphic video of King's ordeal was shown around the world in 1991.

King sued the City of Los Angeles and won $3.8m (£2.5m) compensation.

Cynthia Kelley, who helped decide the scale of the damages, met him afterwards and they shared a pizza. Now, reports say, the couple have become engaged and hope to marry soon.

4. After 19 years
I'm sure someone will believe there was some sort of malfeasance involved with her decision regarding his case.
