Orange County authorities declined to<br />

file charges against Rodney King stemming<br />

"Based on a review of the evidence we<br />

didn't feel there was a reasonable likelihood<br />

that a jury would convict Mr.<br />

King," said Deputy-Orange County District<br />

Attorney Marc Kelly.<br />

~ "Our standard of proof is beyond a<br />

reasonable doubt and is highly different<br />
