The officers involved, Daniel Opdyke, Christian Dedmon, Hunter Elward, Jeffrey Middleton, Brett McAlpin, and Joshua Hartfield, are facing lengthy prison terms for their actions.
The incident, which occurred in Rankin County, involved the officers using excessive force against Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker.
