@pbsnews: Former Memphis police officers acquitted of murder Three Memphis police officers were found not guilty Wednesday. The three former officers were being charged for the 2023 fatal beating of 29-year-old FedEx worker, Tyre Nichols. Testimony revealed that Nichols, who had no prior warrants, was pulled over for a traffic violation and repeatedly hit and kicked by the officers. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition and succumbed to his injuries three days later. After days of testimony and deliberating for more than eight hours, the jury found all three officers not guilty of all state charges against them. #tyrenichols #memphis #memphiscops #memphispolice #memphispoliceofficers #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #tyrenicholscase
