In a plea deal earlier this month, King pleaded no contest to possession of marijuana, and charges of cocaine possession, resisting arrest and battery to an officer were dismissed.

Judge Anthony Milisauskas didn't care that the police violated departmental rules when they set King ablaze in an effort to induce him to spit out the marijuana he was trying to swallow. The judge said the fire "has nothing to do with the resisting charges or the obstruction or whatever happened that day in Kenosha." The fire would seem to have something to do the reasonableness of imposing further punishment, but Judge Milisauskas was unmoved.

The judge revoked his supervised release and sentenced him to 14 months and 12 days in prison, with credit for 205 days already served. He also must serve another five years of probation ordered in 2002.
