Three of five former Memphis, Tennessee, police officers were acquitted by a jury Wednesday on all state charges including second-degree murder in the January 2023 fatal beating of Tyre Nichols. The other two ex-officers previously agreed to plead guilty to the state charges.
The acquittals are the most recent development in the case, which come after the same three officers were convicted of at least one crime in federal court and the two others pleaded guilty.
