Rodney King jury forepersons are Convocations guests Two trials, two juri , two entirely different verdi , plus a wave of destructive and bloody ri ts has m de the beating of motorist Rodney l<ing one of the honest legal deba in recent h ry. Dorothy Bailey, jury foreperson of the Callfomia rate trial thar acquitted the police officers accused of beating l<ing, and Robert Almond, foreman of the kderal jury that found the officers guilty of vi lacing King' civil righ , will present their views on the issu at today's SUU Convocation. Bailey was a wife, mother and grandmother recently retired from a career managing multi-million d liar contracts wh n he was uddenly caJled to jury duty in Simi Valley, Calif., in the spring of 1991. She was elected foreperson of rhe jury, which reached one of the mo r controversial decisions in U.S. legal history. Within minutes of the announcement of the jury' not guilty v rdic:r, rioa broke out in south Los Angeles that qwckly spread inro a conflagration that resulted in 44 deaths and the destruction of hu~ amounts of property. B merely being selemd jury duty, Bailey found h rself pitched into the firestorm of history. Almond was a family man, working a.s a civil engi.n r in long Beach, Calif., when he wa called to jury duty in th r. eral trial that b ght civil righ violati n charges ag;iln t the Los Angeles police officers accused of beating King. Also elected fo reman, Almond found himself sequestered for the entire 52 days of tl1 trial. The previous jury had been sequestered nly durin I d Ii rati n. Ultim rely, after frequently heared d tc, Almond's jury ch a verdict distinctly diffi rent from the flr r trial, finding the officers guilty. Following the trials, Almond rerumed to hi job working fo r the [os Angeles Port Authority, while Bailey moved Utah. ..The Rodney King trials are of signi6canr public interest and legal intrigue, not merely du the nororiety of the evidence, but due to thc,1,.1nwual circumstances in two different juri being a le to review substantially the very me set o( . This uall does n b.1p n, due the prohibition gainst daub jeopardy in the Sixth Amendment," Anderson said. • But. one a peer of rhe controv rsy, in i!S rawest and unique form, is the that two di rent sets 12 jurors saw the very rune cvid nee and arrived at distinct and different conclusions.
