Tyre Nichols Died. A Tennessee Jury Didn¡¯t Convict Three Ex-Officers for His Death. By America-Today May 15, 2025
Just days after the controversial acquittal of three former Memphis, Tennessee, police officers in the death of Tyre Nichols, his family is condemning the ¡°wanted¡± posters showing the men involved in his brutal beating that are appearing across the city. Since the verdict, the family has been ¡°made aware of posters in public places around Memphis that seem to call for vigilante justice against those three officers,¡± Ben Crump, a Nichols family attorney, said in a statement earlier this week. The family and legal team do not know who is responsible for the posters and do not condone this type of call for justice, he said. The family was devastated by the May 7 verdict, calling it a ¡°miscarriage of justice¡± in a statement last week. ¡°The world watched as Tyre Nichols was beaten to death by those sworn to protect and serve. That brutal, inhumane assault was captured on video, yet the officers responsible were acquitted,¡± Crump wrote on the family¡¯s behalf in last week¡¯s statement. |
