Jury selection beings for federal trial of officers charged in Tyre Nichols' death
SUMMARY: Jury selection continues for the federal trial of three former Memphis police officers accused of murdering Tyree Nichols. The first day was slow, starting at noon and only processing 16 out of 200 potential jurors. Nichols’ family, including his mother and father, expressed their nervousness about the trial’s outcome, emphasizing their commitment to attend daily. Various reasons, including biases and scheduling conflicts, resulted in juror dismissals. Federal courtrooms prohibit cameras, but media can provide updates through a separate live-stream room. If convicted, the officers face life imprisonment without parole. The trial is expected to last 3 to 4 weeks.
