Sergeant Stacey C. Koon was one of the four Los Angeles police officers involved in the Rodney King beating. On April 17, 1992, during the federal King civil rights trial, the jury found Sergeant Koon and Officer Powell guilty of violating Rodney King’s civil rights. In his monologue, Harland W. Braun, who was Officer Briseno’s counsel during the federal trial, questions whether the jury finding Powell and Koon guilty while acquitting Officer Theodore J. Briseno is true justice or an ultimately empty, symbolic gesture.
