New Sentencing Dates Set for 5 Former Memphis, Tennessee, Officers in Tyre Nichols Case
MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, UNITED STATES, JUL 24 – Five former Memphis officers convicted of civil rights violations and witness tampering will be sentenced after delays caused by a judge's recusal, following the 2023 beating death of Tyre Nichols.
- On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Sheryl H. Lipman scheduled sentencing for December 15-19 for five former Memphis police officers convicted of federal charges in Tyre Nichols’ 2023 beating death, with dates subject to change based on sealed motions.
- On June 13, U.S. District Judge Mark Norris recused himself, just days before sentencing, an unusual mid-case recusal without public explanation.
- During the federal trial, Emmitt Martin and Desmond Mills Jr. pleaded guilty last year to violating Nichols’ civil rights and conspiracy to tamper with witnesses.
- She noted sentencings might shift if sealed motions succeed, including a request for a new trial for three of the officers.
- By mid-September, Lipman expects to issue rulings, as the city of Memphis has formed a task force to address police reforms.
