A second former Memphis police officer facing federal civil rights charges in the violent arrest and beating death of Tyre Nichols is expected to change his plea to guilty on Friday in federal court.
A second former Memphis police officer facing federal civil rights charges in the violent arrest and beating death of Tyre Nichols changed his plea to guilty on Friday in federal court. Emmitt Martin III joined his former colleague Desmond Mills, who also changed his plea to guilty last November, as part of a settlement to both state and federal charges he faced for his role in Nichols’ death. The change comes after Martin had previously pleaded not guilty.
” Ben Crump, one of the attorneys representing Nichols’ family in their $550 million lawsuit in federal court against the city of Memphis, its police department and what the suit said were “unqualified, untrained, and unsupervised” officers, also said he hoped the other officers involved plead guilty. “The dominoes are falling, and the dominoes won’t stop with just these officers,” he said.
