💨 Abstract

Three former Memphis police officers are on trial for second-degree murder in the beating death of Tyre Nichols, a Black man, following a 2023 traffic stop. The officers, Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, and Justin Smith, were convicted of federal charges last year. The trial is taking place in Hamilton County, with an out-of-town jury to ensure a fair trial due to intense publicity.
