LOS ANGELES: same penalty.
Darvish and his attorney banged their fists on the counsel table and breathed "Yes" as the verdicts were read.

Someone in the courtroom yelled, "No justice here!" and was silenced by Superior Court Judge William Hollingsworth Jr.

People standing outside the courthouse held signs saying "Peace After the Verdict," hoping to pevent riots like the ones that devastated the city after four white police officers were acquitted of state charges in the videotaped beating of black motorist Rodney King in 1992.

Morse was white and the teen, Donovan Jackson, is black.

Don't you just love the way "black motorist" always precedes Rodney Kings name.....just a sweet, innocent guy out for a Sunday drive. *Sigh....*
