A jury from outside of Memphis will be seated in the state court trial of three former police officers charged with second-degree murder in the beating death of Tyre Nichols after a traffic stop in 2023, a judge ruled Friday.
Shelby County Judge James Jones Jr. did not specify where the jury will come from to hear the case against former Memphis Police Department officers Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley and Justin Smith, who have pleaded not guilty in Nichols' death.
