Three former Memphis police officers charged over the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols following a traffic stop in 2023 have been found guilty on some counts and acquitted on others.
Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley and Justin Smith, who are all Black, were accused of violating the 29-year-old’s civil rights during the killing in which they punched, kicked and hit him after dragging him from his car around a block from his home as he called out for his mother.
