The trial of three former Memphis officers charged with violating Tyre Nichols' civil rights in a fatal beating has concluded, and the jury is now deliberating. The officers, Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, and Justin Smith, were among five officers who were fired from the Memphis Police Department after the January 2023 beating. Prosecutors argued that the officers wanted to punish Nichols for running from a traffic stop and that they thought they could get away with it. The defense sought to downplay each of their client's involvement, with one attorney claiming that Nichols ignored commands and that the force used was not excessive.
