A federal judge has handed down prison terms ranging from about 10 to 40 years to six white former Mississippi law enforcement officers who pleaded guilty to breaking into a home without a warrant and torturing two Black men in a horrific attack. The incident involved beatings, stun gun use, assaults with a sex toy, and a victim being shot in the mouth.
U.S. District Judge Tom Lee condemned the actions of the culprits as 'egregious and despicable' and imposed sentences near the top of federal guidelines for five of the six men involved in the attack on Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker in January 2023.
