Rodney King to Marry Juror From $4 Million Civil Suit

Written by Pat's Papers | Wednesday, 8 September 2010 7:06 AM

She already gave him a wedding present. The New York Post reports this morning that Rodney King, the man whose beating by the LAPD sparked weeks of race riots in the 1990s, is set to marry one of the jurors who awarded him a $3.8 million settlement. King has dated Cynthia Kelly on and off for years; they went on their first date—for pizza—the day after his civil suit against the city of Los Angeles ended.

Kelly was the only African-American on King’s jury and complained to the press that “many fellow jurors didn’t want to give King a dime.” Radar Online broke the story and says the couple is negotiating a deal to air their wedding on TV.
