Rodney King is 47 now, jobless and virtually broke. Gone is the settlement money he got after suing the city for violating his civil rights. All $3.8 million of it. Huge chunks went to the lawyers, he says, some to family members, some he simply wasted.

The settlement did provide a down payment on his home in Rialto. He says he cobbles together mortgage payments. Every so often he gets hired to pour concrete at a construction site.
