Rodney King to Marry Cynthia Kelley

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Rodney King is set to marry juror Cynthia Kelley. Cynthia Kelley (pictures below) is best know as juror number 5 in a certain notable trial – Rodney King’s own civil dispute. For nearly two decades, Cynthia Kelley and Rodney King have kept their relationship secret. The couple reveal today that their first date was just hours after Kelley and her jury awarded King $3.8 million. Kelly says she joined King and his attorney for pizza in Newport Beach the day after the trial was over.

Both Kelyey and King were married at the time. Kelley was the only African American juror. The couple would eventually drift apart. But just months ago, King called her up and asked her if she was still single. “It was like we were never apart from one another” she says today.

King and Kelly have yet to set a wedding date. She additionally adds the two kept their relationship quiet all those years due to expected backlash. She says that other jurors initially didn’t want to give King more than $100,000 because, as she claimed, they said “he’s just gonna blow it anyway.”
