THE LOS ANGELES TIMES April 29, 1995
Three years after their acquittal on 10 of 11 criminal charges stemming
from the brutal beating of motorist Rodney King, four Los Angeles police
officers were convicted yesterday on five counts of violating King's civil
rights. The men will be sentenced tomorrow and face up to thirty years in
prison. Immediately after the verdict was announced, overjoyed celebrants
took to the streets, smashing windows, looting stores, and beating passers-by.
[How's THAT for (original) cynicism?]
