Riots participant sentenced in murder case LOS ANGELES (AP) — A man convicted of felony mayhem for a televised attack on trucker Reginald Denny during the 1992 Los Angeles riots was sentenced Friday to 30 years to life in prison for a drug dealer’s murder. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Curtis B. Rappe also ordered Damian Williams, 30, to serve an additional 21 years in prison for a firearm theft charge and other violations. Williams served four years of a 10-year term after he was convicted of felony mayhem for throwing a brick on Denny’s head as the riots began. Denny was pulled out of a big rig at Florence and Normandie avenues on April 29, 1992, a short time after a state jury in Simi Valley acquitted four white Los Angeles police officers accused of beating black motorist Rodney King. Williams denied he was the person caught on videotape attacking Denny. Williams did not comment during Friday’s sentencing hearing.
