The six former officers who attacked Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker in January 2023 were sentenced last month to federal prison terms ranging from about 10 to 40 years.
Michael Corey Jenkins, who with his friend Eddie Terrell Parker, unseen, were victims of racially motivated torture by six former Mississippi law enforcement officers, speaks to reporters following the sentencing in state court of the former lawmen for their roles in the 2023 assault, Wednesday, April 10, 2024, in Brandon, Miss.BRANDON, Miss.
After the hearing, Malik Shabazz, an attorney representing Jenkins and Parker, celebrated that the former law officers were held accountable in the same courthouse where they had testified against people. In a written statement, Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch said the former officers’ crimes did grave harm to the victims and violated the trust of citizens they were supposed to protect.
The charges followed an Associated Press investigation in March 2023 that linked some of the officers to at least four violent encounters since 2019 that left two Black men dead.
