Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Desmond Mills Jr, Emmitt Martin III and Justin Smith were involved in the arrest of Mr Nichols on 7 January. They were taken into custody after an internal investigation by the Memphis Police Department. Mr Nichols' death sparked protests against police brutality in the US. The family of Tyre Nichols were present in the courtroom as the officers filed in. The judge confirmed the five defendants had pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder, aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct and official oppression. The officers are currently out on bond, meaning they are not in prison, with the next scheduled hearing due on 1 May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
