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.

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