STORYLINE:
Jury selection resumed Tuesday in the federal trial of three former Memphis police officers charged with violating Tyre Nichols’ civil rights.
Nichols, who was Black, died in a hospital on Jan. 10, 2023, three days after he was kicked, punched and hit with a police baton following a traffic stop.
Potential jurors were asked whether heavy media coverage and publicly released video of him being beaten to death could influence their ability to be fair.
U.S. District Judge Mark Norris questioned jury candidates on Monday about what they think are the most important characteristics a juror should have and whether they would be biased in reaching a verdict.
Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley and Justin Smith have pleaded not guilty to charges that they deprived Nichols of his rights through excessive force and failure to intervene, and obstructed justice through witness tampering. The beating was caught on police cameras, triggering protests and calls for police reform. Two others have already pleaded guilty to the federal charges and could testify against them.
