Trial Begins for Former Officers Charged in Tyre Nichols Death
The federal trial for former Memphis police officers charged in the death of Tyre Nichols is set to begin, with opening statements scheduled for Wednesday. The jury, comprised of a diverse group of twelve, will hear evidence related to civil rights violations, conspiracy, and obstruction linked to Nichols' violent arrest in January 2023. Nichols' family is pursuing justice amidst their ongoing $550 million lawsuit against the Memphis Police and the city. Additionally, two officers have already pleaded guilty to federal charges, while the remaining three face state-level murder charges. In a separate case, Gabriel Skyler Caswell, a former animal shelter employee, faces trial for allegedly abusing kittens, with jury selection completed and opening statements starting soon. In Houston, former officer Gerald Goines has been reindicted for murder related to a police raid that resulted in a deadly incident.
