So they are blaming Tyre from trying to get away from them for his death. Reminiscent of "Rodney King" and justifying the "beat down".

My issue was the huge cover-up attempt. If everything was fine, why the cover-up?! Now, in court, open court, no less, they are justifying their behavior.

The state trial began April 28, 2025. With attorneys previously predicting the case to last around three weeks, Shelby County prosecutors surprised some when they rested their case during day three of the state trial after calling just five witnesses.

So was the prosecution even trying???

Shameful. Sad. Pathetic.

I am absolutely in shock. Did the jurors see the beating Tyre received? I am stunned.

Wow.I just don't know what to say.

Wow.I just don't know what to say.

It sounds like these three, blamed the other two, who pled guilty, rather than going to trial. MOO is that they are all guilty. This wasn't like George Floyd, where Derek Chauvin was 100% guilty of killing George Floyd.

That video, to me, showed five men, brutally kicking, and punching Tyre. MOO. They should have at least been incarcerated for something.

OMG. I can't believe it. Tyre's poor mother.

At least there may be prison sentences on the federal charges.

The three defendants still face the prospect of years in prison after they were convicted of federal charges last year, though they were acquitted of the most serious charges then, too.

Two other former officers previously pleaded guilty in both state and federal court, including Emmitt Martin, who defense attorneys blamed for the majority of the violence.

I sure hope they face prison sentences on the federal charges.

RIP Tyre Nichols

Wow! I’m shocked.

 

[Ladyotm]

My heart is broken. Where is the justice? For those who say all cops are not bad (which I agree) their acquittal is the reason lots of people don't like cops in general.
