3 ex-Memphis police officers face civil rights trial for excessive force in Tyre Nichols' death.
Three former Memphis police officers—Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, and Justin Smith—are set to stand trial for violating Tyre Nichols' civil rights, following his death from a police beating in January 2023. Charged with excessive force, failure to intervene, and obstruction of justice, they have pleaded not guilty. The trial is expected to last three to four weeks, with Nichols' family attending. Two other officers have already pleaded guilty and may testify against them.
