Ex-Polizisten in Haupt-Anklagepunkten freigesprochen
Minutenlang prügelten mehrere Polizisten bei einer Verkehrskontrolle in Memphis auf den schwarzen Tyre Nichols ein. Kurz darauf starb er. Nun wurden drei der Ex-Polizisten in wesentlichen Anklagepunkten freigesprochen.
3 fmr #Memphis, TN #police officers were found #guilty Thurs of federal #WitnessTampering in the #violent #beating of #TyreNichols, a 29-yr-old #Black man who died 3 days after his encounter w/police [from the severe injuries they inflicted]
ALL of the #cops were acquitted of the most serious charge—violating Nichols’s #CivilRights by causing his death. One cop, Demetrius Haley, was convicted on a lesser charge of violating Nichols’s civil rights by causing #BodilyInjury.
"The maximum sentence for the other three is life in federal prison. There is no parole in the federal system, so each defendant will serve the entirety of their sentence."

A former Memphis police officer changed his plea to guilty Thursday in the fatal beating of #TyreNichols, becoming the first of five officers charged to reverse course.
Desmond Mills Jr. entered his plea during a hearing at the Memphis federal courthouse as part of a larger agreement to settle charges in state court as well. It wasn’t immediately clear how the four other officers planned to respond and specifically whether they would follow suit.
