Denny beating trial ends; defendant gets 10 years
LOS ANGELES — A judge gave the maximum 10-year sentence yesterday to the African-American man convicted of viciously beating white truck driver Reginald Denny and attacking other motorists at the outset of last year's deadly riots.
The Associated Press
Some African-American community leaders and even the jury chair that convicted Williams criticized the sentence as unfair.
Police went on alert yesterday as a precaution against possible violence following the sentencing.
"It's intolerable in this society to attack and main people because of their race," Superior Court Judge John Ouderkirk said as he sent Damian Williams to prison.
Ouderkirk sentenced African- American co-defendant Henry Watson to probation until January 1997 and to 320 hours of community service.
But the city remained calm.
Williams, 20, was convicted of attacking Denny and four Hispanic and Asian victims as a rampaging mob took to the streets on April 29, 1992, the first day of the Los Angeles riots that killed 55 people.
Watson, 29, was convicted of misdemeanor assault and pleaded guilty to an assault count against trucker Larry Tarvin. He served 17 months between his arrest and the trial.
The riots were unleashed by the state court acquittals of four white police officers in the videotaped beating of African-American motorist Rodney King.
His lawyer, Edi Faal, said Williams was relived because he had once faced the possibility of two life sentences plus 47 years. Now, he said, Williams will be eligible for parole with four years' prison time. He was also fined $1,000. Faal said he would appeal the convictions.
The attack on Denny was televised live from a news helicopter and became a symbol of the race riots. Videotape showed Williams in a gleeful dance around Denny's body.
Denny, nearly killed in the beating testified about the numerous skull fractures and operations he experienced and said he remembered nothing about the assault. But he recently expressed forgiveness toward his attackers and said they should receive leniency.
Energy Department concealed tests
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The government has concealed more than 200 nuclear weapon tests since the 1940s and conducted about 800 radiation tests involving about 600 humans, some of whom were unaware of the risks, the Department of Energy acknowledged yesterday.
"It left me appalled, shocked and deeply saddened," said Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary. She learned only recently that 18 civilians had been injected with highly radioactive plutonium in the 1940s to determine what doses workers might be exposed to safely..
"It is apparent that informed consent could not have taken place," she said. All the individuals are dead, although many of them lived for years after the experiment.
Launching a new era of openness about the weapons programs, the department released summaries of previously secret information about nuclear tests in Nevada, the amount of plutonium produced and currently located at weapons factories, and limited information about government tests during the 1940s and '50s on humans to determine the health effects of radiation doses.
Recently the Albuquerque Tribune reported the testing and identified
five of the 18 individuals. Those five were injected with plutonium as part of work being done by the Manhattan Project in the 1940s in the development of the first atomic bomb.
The fact that some tests were done on humans in connection with the government's nuclear program has been known for years, but few details have been available and officials have said the participants always were aware of the potential danger.
O'Leary said she would not rule out a possible lawsuit against the government by survivors of the 18 individuals whose cases are being investigated. The last of the 18 died two years ago.
