Four officers from the Los Angeles Police Department were charged with using excessive force in the March 3, 1991 beating death of Rodney Glen King, an African-American motorist. The Rodney King Trials, also known as the Rodney King Trials, were built on footage taken by a witness from his home. Because the beating was racially motivated, the now-famous video received a huge response and was broadcast across the country and internationally. The arrest was heavily covered by the media. Judge Stanley Weisberg of the California Court of Appeals granted a change of venue for Ventura County. He used a Simi Valley courtroom to hold the state case against them.
A Ventura County jury found three of the four officers innocent and failed to reach a verdict. Many believe that the surprising outcome was due to the racial/social makeup of the jury which consisted of ten white men, one Filipino man, and one Hispanic woman. None of the jury members were Simi Valley residents. Three people who were military or security personnel were among the jurors. The 1992 Los Angeles riots, as well as mass protests across the country, were triggered by the acquittal.
