Rodney King, whose vicious beating by LAPD sparked the Los Angeles Riot of 1992, is engaged to marry Cynthia Kelly, who was Juror No. 5 in King’s civil suit against the city of Los Angeles. The 1992 Riot, one of our nation’s deadliest urban riots, left at least 42 people dead, more than 700 businesses burned, and over one billion dollars in property lost. In his 1994 suit against the city, King was awarded $3.8 million. The happy couple has yet to announce their wedding date.
