A year after they were caught on tape beating Rodney King, four LAPD officers went on trial. None were convicted. 
How did the prosecution make its case against the cops? How did the officers hold up under questioning? And what happened when the verdict was announced? 
Season 6 of Slow Burn is produced by Joel Anderson, Jayson De Leon, Ethan Brooks, Sophie Summergrad, and Jasmine Ellis. 
Mixing by Merritt Jacob.
