WaPo: “A state jury found three former Memphis police officers not guilty of second-degree murder in the 2023 beating death of Tyre Nichols that helped galvanize a movement to reform police conduct.
The jurors deliberated for more than eight hours after listening to days of testimony that delved into the minutes after police pulled over Nichols for a traffic stop and when the 29-year-old FedEx worker was repeatedly hit and kicked by the officers.
The unanimous ruling is a blow for police reform efforts sparked by the 2020 murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.”
