Hello Vi,
I found it unfair to the taxpayers that King and his lawyers made so much
money from the incident. I remember reading at the time the lawyers were
criticized for charging an inordinate amount of money. What was the case
where a white truck driver was trying to get out of the riot area and a
group of young black men stopped him and one beat him almost to death with
a brick. He left the man to die and that would have happened except a
humane black man got him to the hospital in time. I believe the trucker
almost died and his head is still misshapen. What punishment did a
predominantly black jury impose upon the perpetrator? How many millions
did the trucker receive? I can't remember all the details or even the
man's name. How sad that the name of the trucker is forgotten while the
name of a criminal like King is known and he became almost a hero.
Joan
