I am not sure if this falls under Military History. The Military was called in for riot control but it fails to be of historical note for the military. Big Roger ( talk) 09:14, 2 November 2010 (UTC) reply

The rioters thought it was because the jury had been bribed - they had accepted payment for giving the verdict. That is the most likely explanation. Aymatth2 ( talk) 12:20, 27 March 2011 (UTC) reply
