In Memphis, Tennessee, jurors began their second day of deliberation in the trial of three former police officers charged with second-degree murder in the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols. The officers, Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, and Justin Smith, have pleaded not guilty. Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, died after a traffic stop in 2023, where he was beaten by officers. His death sparked national protests and calls for police reform.
