Clodius was aiming to be praetor when, in 52, his gang met that of Milo on the Appian Way, and in the ensuing brawl Clodius was killed.

 Publius Clodius.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The notion of Clodius being motivated by gratitude may seem strange, but he showed himself to be capable of at least negative long term feelings in his hatred of Cicero and Pompey for their parts in the trial, something which continued for many years.
Clodius was by this time hugely popular with the urban Plebs and had gained control of gangs of thugs with which he was attacking Pompey, making him at one time a virtual prisoner in his own home and causing him to fear for his life.
Clodius was the brother-in-law of Lucullus, and was sent to the East in order to spread disaffection among the already demoralised army of his relation.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.03.18
Clodius showed renewed radicalism with his declaration that, as praetor, he would legislate for the registration of freedmen in the rural tribes.
Clodius' death provoked the crisis which led to Pompey's sole consulship and thence to the tension between Pompey and Caesar of which the civil war was the eventual result.
Clodius' innocence was upheld by J. Balsdon, "Fabula Clodiana," Historia 15 (1966), 65-73, implausibly arguing that his alibi that he had spent the night ninety miles away at Interamna was not incompatible with Cicero's claim that Clodius had called upon him at Rome earlier in the day.
