💨 Abstract

Three former Memphis police officers were acquitted of state charges in the 2023 fatal beating of Tyre Nichols. A jury from a majority-white county took 8.5 hours to find Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, and Justin Smith not guilty after a 9-day trial. Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, died three days after the beating, which was captured on video. The officers still face federal charges and potential years in prison.
