A federal jury has convicted three former Memphis police officers on obstruction of justice charges in connection with the 2023 beating of Tyre Nichols, whose death during a traffic stop ignited nationwide outrage. The jury reached its verdict on Thursday, delivering a partial victory for the Nichols family and marking a significant moment in the ongoing legal battle over police brutality and accountability. However, the jury found the officers not guilty of violating Nichols' civil rights, a ruling that has left the community and the victim's family with mixed emotions.
