RODNEY KING, the victim of a 1991 beating by Los Angeles police that sparked race riots, is marrying one of the jurors who awarded him a multi-million dollar settlement.
RadarOnline.com reports that King, 44, recently proposed to Cynthia Kelley - juror number five - who pushed to award King a $3.8 million payout in a civil case against the city of Los Angeles.
"She is a godsend, a blessing in my life," King told RadarOnline.com.
"I don't know what I would have done without her in my life... I can't wait to make her my wife!"
Nineteen years ago, King was chased by police through the San Fernando Valley and was captured on videotape being beaten by four white officers.
Their acquittal at a criminal trial sparked the notorious race riots that lasted for four days, leaving 55 dead and more than 2,000 injured.
For the first time, the lovebirds are revealing their on-and-off again secret romance and detailing how it blossomed almost as soon as the controversial civil trial ended.
