After a few jury changes the jury arrived at a verdict of not guilty for all charges except a felony count of simple mayhem and one misdemeanor assault charge for Williams and one misdemeanor assault for Watson on October 18th. Watson was then given credit for time served and was released. As the families of the defendants celebrated the lesser sentences, surprisingly, Denny approached Damian Williams' mother Georgina and hugged her. Other family members then exchanged warm embraces and words of reconciliation with him.

The outcome of the trial was said to be "payback" for the acquittal of the four police officers charged with beating Rodney King. White communities around the country were outraged. For weeks afterwards public debate about racism and whether the verdict was just or unjust raged on.

As the debate continued Williams was denied bail and sentenced to 10 years in jail on December 7, 1993 by Judge Ouderkirk. Damian was released early for good behaviour in 1997. On December 5th, 2003, he received a life sentence for murdering Grover Tinner, a 48-year-old drug dealer, in July 2000. He will not be eligible for parole until he serves a little more than 47 years.

Miller was shot in a nightclub on February 1, 2004 and died from his wounds soon after.

Denny currently lives in Lake Havasu City, Arizona where he is a self-employed boat motor mechanic.
