A former Memphis police officer is on trial for the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols, which resulted in his death following a traffic stop. The incident involved excessive force and failure to intervene, as well as obstruction of justice through witness tampering.
During the trial, testimony revealed that the officer sent a photo of the badly injured Nichols to his ex-girlfriend on the night of the incident. The photo showed Nichols on the ground with apparent injuries, prompting the ex-girlfriend to express concern for his well-being.
