While danceable, "the untitled album" is notPrince's best work. It hardly lives up to thestandards he set for himself--and for modernrock--with his previous records.

Having him testify might have exposed King, who once served time for robbery, to damaging cross-examination. But it would also have compelled the jurors to come face to face with the obscure figure in the videotape. And King could have countered the defense attorneys' contention that he had not been badly injured by the beating. One of the lawyers went so far as to argue that King was not even hit in the head, a claim that he supported with photographs taken...
