A Tennessee jury in a state trial found that three former Memphis Police Department (MPD) officers were not guilty on charges relating to the murder of 29-year-old Tyre Nichols.
Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, and Justin Smith were acquitted by the jury on charges such as second degree murder, aggravated assault, and “two counts of aggravated kidnapping,” as well as two counts of official misconduct and official oppression, according to ABC24 News.
The verdict came after the jury deliberated for roughly nine hours, according to the outlet.
In January 2023, five former MPD officers; Desmond Mills Jr., Emmitt Martin III, Bean, Haley, and Smith were charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault, and aggravated kidnapping, and official misconduct, and official oppression.
